i agree with this.. but also think it could stress a couple things more:

- satisfying the needs of parallel agentic development is wholly aligned with the optimal DevSecOps CI/CS/CD WhateverTerm models out there. And that's rad, bc a lot of orgs have a reference frame to map to.

- microservices, monoliths, monorepos, mammoths, whatever.. The code and services can be structured however, so long as the release capabilities are modular and governable/manageable/auditable/flexible/transparent/etc. A killer workflow allows for tight independent releases, but not chaotic, with proper add'l structure/scaffolding to satisfy that list above. Microservices and smaller repos can help with the context window bit initially, but you can rig up and kind of local llm-focused setup to allow for selective context and holistic context (across N repos or N projs within monorepo)

- strategy: use the robots to fix the problems in your PDLC/CICD/ABC so that the robots can help you out more, and keep iterating on that

this is hilarious.. love it. Reminds me of Zoolander lol

i also did something similar with a learning game for kids, where moving the car requires typing in the correct keys on the keyboard.

oof, not rust too. this has been brutal for the node ecosystem, hopefully cargo also gets the proper controls to help avoid this, like the in-flight min-publish-age

we put together a Scroll on how this manifested with node, if anyone finds it helpful to understand that attack vectors & mitigation steps: https://endash.us/toolkit/items/mini-shai-halud

thanks for open-sourcing this too. fun experiment. i'm thinking i might try to tie in the html-in-canvas spec to see how it leverages that on top of just the art

we definitely do

i don't think there'll be a drop in demand, but with supply chains.. beware the bullwhip effect https://beergame.endash.us/bullwhip-effect

this is really neat, and i look forward to diving in more. i've built a couple different Mermaid-related apps/plugins, and i think the wysiwyg you implemented here is pretty clean. nice work!

and glad that this led me to OpenKnowledge.. hadn't seen that before

this is an important topic, and i hate that people forget how difficult it is. in any political conversation, it's pretty easy to pull this thread to unravel anyone's adamant belief in one thing or another (e.g. gun control). my biggest concern is that people seem less willing than before to actually have those discussions.. they'll immediately just label you as being opposed to their views, "against" them.. when really we need these conversations to find viable policy solutions that wont easily be used in the exact opposite way that they were intended when implemented
