Heh. Extremely accurate.

Pangolin! Gateway to everything else.

Woah. I’ve been meaning to check out zed but that’s a huge problem. I’ve fixed this problem before in rust, there’s just a library you can use to update file trees with a combination of batching fs notifications and a periodic rescan. Wtf guys! Maybe I’ll submit a PR… oh wait! I mean delta. :(

I have been working on literally this exact project for the past 6 months, down to the nomenclature used. Running into this on HN is… strange.

15 years of experience developing software at many scales from the frameworks that ran all of twitters services to nimble startups, to large scale data collection pipelines. Most recently, I was the head of engineering for a ~25 person engineering org, and have done consulting in the areas of providing technical due diligence. I'm currently working on projects that make self-hosted computing more accessible to anyone.

I wouldn't say complicated, and I agree with you that the proof is in the pudding. I looked at the gameplay and if it was something akin to.. let's say "minecraft before minecraft existed", I'd be amazed and see the value right away.

Looking at the game, it doesn't seem like a game that would require as much money to build as he's claiming he uses in credits (although via a loophole that allows him cheaper access). It doesn't look BAD, it just doesn't seem to warrant that much spend.

(Asking sincerely in good faith - I read this note along with skimming a few of the linked ones, and I'm familiar with gastown)

Can someone explain the value calculation to me? This seems like someone has truly let AI VASTLY expand the codebase of what seems to be a medium sized hobby game to ~10-100x the amount of engineering required. Especially with statements about how wheelhouse, his software factory, has grown to nearly the size of the actual software he's writing. He also mentions several times that wheelhouse is specific to developing the game. Then, he discusses "pulling in beads" which itself seems on my read to be enormously engineered. (note that he also says that you burn a lot of tokens with agents "keeping your beads in sync" and I didn't have the time to figure out what that meant, but it looks like as complicated as it is, beads can't reconcile itself without burning $$$).

It seems like if you answer "yes" at every time you have the question of "can I make AI do this", you end up burning $120k/month in tokens on your side project.

Again, I am not disparaging this- but I feel like I am genuinely missing something and would welcome help understanding it.

This is a perfect use case for AI, no?

Thank you. Thank you.

I agree. Take what ya can, give nothing back!

I just took a look a both (thanks for the pointer to seastar! cool project). I'd say "sort of but not exactly". It seems like two approaches to solving the same problem.

Silk seems like mostly a scheduler that uses C++'s native coroutines. Seastar is a future-based framework. Both contain a scheduler and enable async coding patterns.

“No way to prevent this” says only package manager where this regularly happens.

Well, I too, don't have anything against a company selling a "good but not open printer", and I don't care if my fridge is open.

However, I hope you see that the behavior reported by Jeff here is just bad. They are either not understanding open source licenses or are acting in bad faith.

I think this might be rage bait.

What specifically did you find dumb about this?
