We could simply make the "view file" tool not able to see .env. Same for other "grep-like" tools.

They really want your ID

Unlike openai, you can use the latest grok models without verifying your organization and giving your ID.

> The logo is further on the left than the other icons.

But why the logo of the website/app should be aligned with the icon of the actions?

> The icons are thin, compared to the text, which is bold.

Why this is an issue?

I can somewhat agree with the other points, but I wouldn't call this "bad design." Just because the information can sometimes be presented better doesn't mean the previous way was bad.

DNS tunnels with iodine works well, it's easy to setup and work in a lot of place.

You can also connect to some random corporate wifi and it's very likely that this will work (not necessary in "direct" mode).

I hope you will get further sponsorships so you can continue your cool work in the FOSS space.

I also totally agree that uv makes shipping python software smoother. Prior to uv I hesitated to use Textual to build cool TUIs for internal tools. But now, it’s a totally different story. I wish I had an internal tool to write with Textual right now.

Maybe by the time Toad is officially out, I will have a project ready to dive into.

I agree, the latest models are not bad at Rust. Most issues I have when writing LLM-assisted Rust code are related to dependencies.

There are a lot of v0.x.x crates in Rust with frequent updates and breaking changes. As LLMs "learn" from code in the wild, they are exposed to different way to use the same crate and thus fail to produce working code "from memory".

But as soon as you explain how to use it with the latest syntax, they are able to fix the code.

You can also install it "globally" for your user with:

  uv tool install ty
Then you can use it anywhere

  ty check

They are using the "normal" dependencies section in the pyproject.toml, so you should be able to install with pip or other tools if you want.

It's only for dev-specifics dependencies that they are using the uv-specifics section.

You can try uv in 2 min and see if you like it or not.

I prefer mypy but sometimes pyright supports new PEPs before mypy, so if you like experimenting with cutting-edge python, you may have to switch time to time.
