That's what people would have said 3 years ago about going against google (and search engines in general), yet here we are.

Revolution is in the air.

Devs like to pretend they know everything about everything.

Start a discussion about any topic, look at how many nerds will tell you that you are wrong.

I think AI will be like electricity. Invisible.

You're saying we need magic for different js frameworks to have different performance profiles?

I see zero indications of this. As a matter of fact, I see evidence of the opposite, the Chinese government has just come out in support of open weight AI last week.

Not sure they're just recouping costs and not lining their execs pockets.

To be honest, I don't get how I would use it. I understand the text I send will be encrypted, but what does using it actually look like.

Wow. Someone using Crush in the wild. What do you think of it? I'm having trouble switching to it because the rest work fine, but would love to actually adopt it.

You would be surprised to hear that some of us don't have X because we don't use social media, not for any kind of cultural war you're imagining.

Because Chinese model providers are open source. You can host them yourself.

Can you name one open source US model that came out in the last year?

Wow. Let's see what an informed opinion looks like.

Oh.... ok then.

rolymath — Sat, 20 Jun 2026 09:56:17 +0000

Maybe tell your agent that your readme doesn't need to be that long so humans can read it and understand it. The Github readme is ludicrously long winded.

What's the point of this vs telling the agent to just use the cloudflare CLI?

"Local tool for publishing agent reports and small static sites" - Aren't agent reports small static sites? Why do you need to mention both?

Your Good Fits vs Bad Fits section is just a good fits vs bad fits for cloudflare pages, not your specific application.

Creating a chrome extension to add the publish button on the page is quite possibly the single biggest piece of evidence I've ever seen that code is now cheap.

Readme needs screenshots.

Edit: I've been emotionally triggered by this project because the overall feel of it reminds me of all the junior developers at work who've started vibe coding everything and presenting it with confidence that even the most senior developers lack.

The world was fine before youtube, it's not the end of the world. It's full of fake education who won't take responsibility by claiming they're "just entertainment".

Realistically, the kids will find their way around the ban.

Judging by the comments here, the 1worldflag should have been a picture of two people arguing.
