do I know anyone who wants to fund an open source agentic coding CLI?

there is a gap in the current ecosystem of tools that I think needs to be filled for the enterprise, but contributing to or forking an existing project won't work.

I just wrote a CLI in rust and successfully edited a line of code using an LLM that was running in ollama on my local machine.

Please clap.

About world leaders and politics and the assassination of the Iranian leader...

I thought there was a tacit agreement that countries don't do that - since otherwise the "commensurate response" is to strike back at the leader who ordered the strike.

What stops Iran from responding in kind?

You'd best be entertained... Each one of those could have been an hour long episode of Star Trek.

Wow! That's like full self driving levels of promises.

I played about half of this when I first got it years ago. It was pretty good. Very much reminded me of a sort of solo World of Warcraft.

oooo... I just watched the first two seasons then needed to know what happened so badly I read the rest of the published Manga.

While I really wish there was a quality romance plot, this was really enjoyable.

I'll definitely follow this game :)

that can't be real... can it?

Is there an "Idaho" in the middle east somewhere and I'm misreading? Is it common for the US to allow foreign nations to have "air bases" on US soil?

I'm confused. Google really seems to be filled with AI right now because there's no way this could be real right?!

I'm sure if you scroll through their comments there will be commensurate outrage at the Grand Theft Auto "get your money back from a hooker" feature. Any day now... maybe scroll a little further back? Weird... maybe they said it about GTA4?

Vibe engineering I feel like vibe coding is pretty well established now as covering the fast, loose and irresponsible way of building software with AIβ€”entirely prompt-driven, and with no attention paid to …

@simonwillison.net Hey! πŸ‘‹ A friend of mine just sent me a link to your Vibe Engineering article: simonwillison.net/2025/Oct/7/v...

I'd written about similar a few months back: alexchesser.medium.com/vibe-enginee....

I thought you might find it interesting πŸ˜€

Looks like he might have a pretty solid case of "the computer doesn't know WTF to put there so it made it up"

This is like that time he drew on a weather amp with a sharpie.

That's right folk, the most incredible photograph you've seen today was taken by a user who calls themselves "Flesh Banana"

Does anyone know if Netflix still has "the keeper test" in its core compensation philosophy or did that go out when levels were introduced?

Eventually you fill your dungeon with increasingly complex death traps, automated loot collection systems, bio-disposal, undead minion, kidnapped villagers, etc...

Basically becoming a dark lord of evil in the name of expanding your cozy small business, supplying adventurers on the road to peril...

By digging it out and releasing a few giant rats, you discover adventurers will shop in your store if the dungeon is sufficiently perilous.

You get to upgrade your shop.

You also discover that adventurers who don't make it, drop loot in your dungeon...

I want a new video game. It should be a cozy mix of Stardew Valley, Shopkeeper sim, Factorio, and, Dungeon Keeper.

Start as an NPC running a small, broken down shop in a village where adventures pass through on their way to the dungeon of doom.

Eventually, you discover an abandoned mine shaft...
