the gen ai image on this page has a "shut off" label for the base of the human plumber's neck. To say nothing of the amusing drainage schematics (water flows up?)...

botfile is a symlink farm like Stow. It's goal is to bring some structure to the sometimes chaotic internals of popular agents by enabling users to extract, persist, share, and sync the skills (https://agentskills.io/home) and instructions (https://agents.md/) they use.
Specifically, it solves the problem of managing standard skills that a team shares, alongside private skills you want to use across your devices and agents.
It also works in the same way with instructions, things like AGENTS.md that exist as ambient guidance injected into the harness lifecycle.
It works with all the major agent harnesses, and is quite opinionated about following the UNIX philosophy of doing one thing well. In botfile's case, it'll only ever be a symlink farm with support for the agent component kinds (skills and instructions so far) that fit its model.
If you: - dont have skills or instructions at the user-scope, or - don't find yourself wanting to share skills or instructions across agents, or - don't share skills or instructions with a team.
It's probably not for you. If you'd like to try and start doing one, all or just some of these things it's a good place to start.

I'd be amazed if ai companies like openai respect robots.txt or any other good faith mechanism.

Also count me in. Excited to see others with the same experience.
I got to the point of rationalizing this as actually being some kind of memory of being born / memory of that trauma. The lack of all proportion to the sensation, along with the incredible stakes, feeling of pressure (literal and figurative) etc…

Subject of the video has a website: https://greenhouseinthesnow.com/greenhouse-kits
Quotes: $211 per lineal foot.
Further info is also in the description of the video:
> Finch sells a "Citrus in the Snow" report detailing his work with his "geo-air" greenhouses and says anyone can build a market-producing greenhouse for about $25,000 or "less than the cost of a heating system on a traditional greenhouse."

I found this book, it's approach and tone to be really engaging, it answered a bunch of questions I didn't know I had and allowed me to understand and engage with my work as a web dev on another level. Parser Combinators for example are fascinating. I find Daniel Holden's work similar to many ways to Brian Lonsdorf's... Honestly surprised there are haters for this type of thing!
