<p>Nice, lucky!  The Opencode Go GLM 5.2 quota gets used up so fast. It's an expensive model.  And while impressive for being open weight, it seems slower than Opus and GPT.  So I typically only use it after exhausting quotas of discounted GPT5.5 or Opus 4.6^ paid plans.</p>

<p>Are you micromanaging your GLM costs?  It seems the best bang for buck strategy right now is a Opencode Go subscription to get the subsidized rate and then switch to Openrouter's model above and beyond that + make use of a dual model strategy by having GLM 5.2 do planning and Deepseek V4 Flash for implementation.</p>

<p>This isn't a direct answer, because I agree it is difficult to move away from Github's familiarities amongst developers - so it doesn't necessarily solve the problem for a collaborative codebase involving a handful or more developers (complete with Issues, PRs, etc) but if you are working with a less technical/developer oriented team ie- regardless of org size it's just you or maybe one other teammate who are the only ones involved directly in code/PRs then you can fairly trivially roll your own issue tracker or wiki.<p>Particularly if your work and the employer/client/org is primarily based on a web project (extra points, you already are managing their auth) then you could simply add a new subdomain or route to your existing web project that serves said self-hosted issue tracker or wiki.<p>Of course these things can get into the weeds but I do think that given the dramatically reduced turnaround times for a competent dev to spin up and customize in-house/self-hosted solutions for basic things like issues and wikis the strategy is more relevant and prudent than ever.</p>

<p>What type of engineer, who until a year ago - because of AI apparently - is suddenly no longer concerned about code?   Personally I'm just as concerned about code because AI has not changed the fact that it still takes a really long time to develop stable, secure software (ie- if you're making software to do ambitious things).  Nothing about modern AI tools eliminate the need to get in the zone; using AI to amplify one's engineering skills let's us solve the next problem faster - but in software there are unlimited problems.</p>

<p>Unironically JavaScript is quite good for single file projects (albeit a package.json usually needed)<p>You can do a huge website entirely in a single file with NodeJS; you can stick re-usable templates in vars and absue multi-line strings (template literals) for all your various content and markup.  If you get crafty you can embed clientside code in your 'server.js' too or take it to the next level and use C++ multi-line string literals to wrap all your JS ie- client.js, server.js and package.json in a single .cpp file</p>

<p>When I first read the source for his original QuickJS implementation I was amazed to discover he created the entirety of JavaScript in a single xxx thousand line C file (more or less).<p>That was a sort of defining moment in my personal coding; a lot of my websites and apps are now single file source wherever possible/practical.</p>

<p>Refactoring your entire codebase just to use that one ES module that is incompatible with CJS is a big pill to swallow if your codebase is ... big (or you have many).</p>

<p>Not sure about realtime voiceover and not in emergency services myself but having an LLM fed the call audio to generate supplmentary summary of what was discussed could certainly be beneficial in situations where the operator needed clarity or there was a mistaken address or important detail that needed double-checking after the call.</p>

<p>Indeed, that is primarily where it excels.  Your layered source files are SVG and you can export to SVG (and you can import in SVG obviously).  The bitmap selection/exporting is also excellent as such you can have these massive vector canvases (with any number of bitmaps and vector shapes/graphics mixed in) and quickly export any slice or selection you make without having to resize the canvas or copy/paste somewhere - and it will remember the export path when you click on the object or layer again later (aside from a bug with symlinks on Linux); ideal for iterative work/exporting revisions to clients or colleagues.</p>

<p>Inkscape is a daily driver for me and its OSS<p>It has its quirks and even some annoying bugs but where it excells its IMO way better than what any competing/proprietary design tool can do (vector and bitmap exporting, vector+bitmap combined layering, shape/colors/text layout, PDF editing/creating, vector pen tool, etc).  I use it to create UI for games & apps and more generally to build sprawling UX scenarios and concept flowcharts.<p>In more recent builds its performance has become quite good which was a problem it had before.  Granted, lots of room for improvement still particularly wish it had more natural flowcharting capability.</p>

<p>Amazon's repo here is open source at least so perhaps this could be remedied with an edit to their README and a PR - go for it !<p>Agree with you there should be credit where credit is due - I have been using QuickJS for some time and its awesome.  For the cost of about 1MB you can get entire modern JS in your C/C++ binary.</p>

<p>Well, if you're talking SvelteKit then it requires a build step so yes, jQuery is way more lightweight.<p>jQuery is also pure JS whereas Svelte is Typescript so it may be more difficult to debug/hack if your primarily JS coder.</p>

<p>It's good for quick things and prototyping cause you can always swap out those calls with native later.  It's API is generally easier to remember/less typing that most native equivalents.  You can also use its API serverside via Cheerio to do parsing & manipulation of html without a dom.<p>edit: also its way more lightweight than React/Vue/Svelte i don't necessarily disagree you shouldn't reach for jQuery if you have a dynamic page (something like uhtml+preact signals would be good if you have fair bit of rendering logic going on) but I would say you should totally try seeing how far you can get with jQuery instead of Svelte/React/Vue on simple pages.</p>

<p>Ironically now with AI art tech the fans themselves can now carry on the series as they like (including making animated flicks). Not saying this wouldn't violate C&H's IP protections nor that the resulting product will have the same essence but a creative+technically inclined fan tinkering in spare time now has the power to create an all new 'Calvin & Hobbes book' of their dreams.   Even if they want to just do it for fun on their own.<p>Of course, if you were to put in enough effort to make a complete book (ie- 100+ page Sunday comic collections)  that could stand among the rest in the original series probably best to adjust your art style, theme and content enough away from the original to make what you are doing essentially a spiritual successor - enabling you to comfortably share it with the outside world.</p>
