Really cool!

Reminds me of my own manifesto, which I've written since getting sick of dealing with the hype and gatekeeping machine that surrounds AI based development right now.

With the widespread increase in speed/commit cadence/content added to repos, I wonder if there's an angle here for companies with a lot of CI/CD needs to simply start self-hosting their CI/CD machines on premises.

In my experience, self hosting your CI/CD runners had the biggest impact in cost savings throughout, while also allowing for more powerful machines, which directly means quicker CI/CD runs


Related to this discussion, I have written a manifesto against the excessive usage of MCP and other "tools" when using coding agents. I believe sticking to the basics yields the better quality overall in output

A manifesto against the hype that has grown around AI-assisted development. We're not against the tools, we're against the hype and the gatekeeping. We're programmers who use AI every day but are tired of being told we need a harness, a workflow and forty skills just to ask for what we want.

Weird. Just tested, and it's loading well for me

omg, core memory unlocked


> Also this is slop.

Is anything done with AI automatically slop? I don't understand this


The author's complaint is that omarchy is basically a set of ricing on top of arch. I can grok that

Problem is, some people are really impressed by ricing and that is what has been catching users for that ""distro""

I'm pretty sure the fans of minimalism/t distros or just plain bare setups aren't really hyping that much. The author is right in that it's just an opinionated layer on top of Arch


I am also (second post) working on an "idle clicker" like TUI game called "cuqueclicker", where you click an ass instead of a cookie (yeah, it's inspired by Cookie Clicker)

https://github.com/flipbit03/cuqueclicker

Runs locally and has binaries for every platform that matters out there, including a WASM port that saves your save data to local storage

WASM Port here: https://flipbit03.github.io/cuqueclicker/

Try it out! It's a fun little idle game


This was really fun. I like that holding down space bar gives ~20 clicks per second, which helps speeds things up.


I'm working on a full blown terminal emulator called "terminal-use", or "tu" in short, for coding agents. It allows agents to operate fully fledged TUI applications including multiple windows, mouse control, etc. It can even self drive a NetHack session via Claude, if you want lol.

It's basically tmux for your coding agent, great for developing and debugging TUI applications as well, because now your agent has a closed feedback loop of applying changes and trying them out itself via tu.

Can you run the same tests on Qwen3.5:9b? that's also a model that runs very well locally, and I believe it's even stronger than Gemma2B


yes, with one line change. grab the second code block in the article, that's the test harness rigged up to send all 80 questions and both turns through whatever model you want. find MODEL_ID = "google/gemma-4-E2B-it" and swap it to your huggingface id. run it. we'd love for people to keep testing different models on this. if you run qwen through it let us know what you find, post the results here.

We may beat you to it and we will share if we do lol


It's almost like Qwen 3.5 9B is 4 times larger.


and that 4x difference allows you to use CPUs and much cheaper hardware to achieve the same level of outcome... for free
