Publishing does not wait for human review — see the review status above; a human may not have looked at this cluster yet. Only 6 of 12 score components below are computed from that evidence — the rest (marked "not yet computed" in their notes) need research services that aren't built yet, and are left neutral rather than invented.

ParaphraseHa, sure! It's more a "zen sandbox" than something I intended to ever publish... but you never know - after all I didn't set out intending to make a vibed DE either. At the same time, I'd encourage others interested to try making their own zen sandbox instead - you'd probably enjoy it a lot more than mine! In spirit of the whole thing being vibed, here's a low-effort AI driven gallery/summary of the current version to take a quick peak with: https://zamadatix.github.io/dandesk-showcase/#overview (this focuses on the main GUI components but not the service/ephemeral components).

ParaphraseI tried switching to Pi twice. Both times it seemed agents go crazy with tools on Pi and do stupid things right out of the gate, (like get `find` syntax wrong, seriously who [what] does that??). Plus things I appreciate in opencode (even if they were buggy in 1.x) like "prompt for perms tool-by-tool in this session" seem to only be available in Pi by writing your own extension, and now I'm wasting time debugging my extension with an AI that gets tools wrong and constantly wants to search `/` for no good reason. Then I upgraded OpenCode to 2.0 and pretty much all the bugs vanished. I still…
I still wish there was a happy medium between "parse tool calls for perms" (which fails all the time if the tool call is long/complex enough) and a full-on sandbox, but otherwise 2.0 is really solid.

This is basically stating that if the AI struggles in another skill but finds a way that the skill it used needs reworking and it needs to do so. There is a rule to always use this skill and then track notes in a version file. Then back it up in a share folder or external drive.

ParaphraseThis is such a lovely balanced thoughtful refreshingly hype-free post to read. 2025 really was the year when things shifted and many first-rate developers (often previously AI skeptics, as Mitchell was) found the tools had actually got good enough that they could incorporate AI agents into their workflows. It's a shame that AI coding tools have become such a polarizing issue among developers. I understand the reasons, but I wish there had been a smoother path to this future. The early LLMs like GPT-3 could sort of code enough for it to look like there was a lot of potential, and so there…

ParaphraseI think it's less armchair speculating about the observable outcome, that people are losing their jobs, but the why. AI coding tools aren't making 10x developers, they aren't even making 1.5x developers. They also aren't making "PMs who code" or "designers who code." It would be really cool if this was the case, I would be singing the praises of these tools finally realizing Stallman's dream of end users who can take control of all the software in their lives for their own benefit.

However, I also like that breaking things up into multiple YAML steps means I get better reporting via GitHub. Of course I could have multiple scripts that I run to get the same effect.

ParaphraseBack when I was working with Rails about 4-10 years ago, I used background workers (sidekiq, faktory, delayed job, resque) to offload processing that can happen outside of the request/response cycle, to keep response times down. Examples might be sending email or making different sizes of uploaded images. What do people of all stacks use nowadays? Do JAM stack devs use web workers and service workers? Or are people using AWS lambda for this stuff (or beanstalk? blah)? Or are you using Kubernete's job runners? Or do you offload it to Zapier? Or do you use big data tools like Apache Spark,…

On the far end of the spectrum, I've purchased a sketchy Android tablet once from AliBaba - that was rife with oddness. Also - wouldn't a proxy terminating & then re-signing show up as a different signing authority or cert, assuming they didn't have their own authority installed on my machine?
