About a month and a half I made a Polymarket account with my Google login. I never traded anything. My account got hacked and they started draining my bank account. Polymarket support was completely non responsive. My bank reversed the charges. About 5 days later I got a text from Polymarket support telling me that it looked like I was having trouble making a deposit and they could help me out. I sent them screenshots of them not responding to my support requests and then never heard back.

My Google account was not compromised. I wouldn't touch Polymarket ever again. There is some kind of massive scam happening here.

I think this is very interesting, but what are you specifying when you build a website?

I feel like this is the new "test driven development", which is totally a good idea, but also not totally useful for the actual process of building web apps, where most of your failure modes are weird CSS, JS, or server issues.

I would be happy to be proven wrong though

This looks cool and beautiful! Ive looked at other Smalltalks and been pretty intimidated. This feels cool and welcoming.

Yep, this isn't a great solution for software factories.

As I see it - you need to track spec (a declarative process) and also tasks/progress (an imperative process). You do need to manage blockers so tasks should largely be a dependent graph.

There's also a third thing which emerges - which is "design decisions along the way". I do actually keep this in the repo as well, but I'm not sure this is correct.

Beads combines all three, which I'm not sure is correct, but seems quite brilliant.

I'm not a beads user - but it rather brilliantly solves a lot of problems in this space

Lol fair point -

But you know what I mean, right? What would be a better way to describe it?

Looks great

Wow, interesting. My agents on open weight inference have been completely nerdsniped by the idea of tracking and auditing process executions. They talk of nothing else.

I think that OOP, like Lisp, lost a lot when Smalltalk machines went out of vogue. Ruby is a super cool language but doesn't have the same breadth as a OOP-as-OS system.

I think the Lisps kind of have up on being an interpreter and I feel they lost some of their power because of it.

I kind of see Ruby waning right now, I don't think it offers much with the development of LLMs. I don't think adding typing is the key - but I anticipate there will be a kind of LLM-powered Smalltalk resurgence

I thought it was hilarious

I don't understand basic legal writing, you you may very well be right. I would be nervous about fulfilling a contract or building a company with, for example, my code base, which is heavily built with deepseek

I agree with you - but there is also an ambiguity, the text of the the order also seems to ban any products coded with DeepSeek
