When I used to play Screeps[1], a MMO strategy game where you programmed to control your units and buildings, a group of us setup a player that was managed in this exact way called Quorum[2].

If anyone wants to run their own project in this way I open sourced the code to do so under the GitConsensus[3] project. There's a Github App (which may not still work, but if there's interest I'll restart it) and a "run it yourself" python library and CLI you can run from Github Actions[4].

I don't get the title. Do I understand correctly this is basically "Twitch plays Github" without Twitch?

I'd expect even more chaos, let an LLM build the features and people vote.

Really interesting. I wonder if something good will come out of it. It feels like twitch plays pomemon.

Is it a kind of computer-assisted Nomic [0]?

Cool social experiment. It's interesting how narrow the scope of all top voted PRs are: change this or that detail in the voting (daily, count down votes etc), or make it more efficient (rust).

I wonder if this has the potential to build a "community" that will take this into a completely different direction, or if it will neatly stay within the initial boundaries.

Excited to see how this plays out, I made something similar a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9351286

This is cool, but once a week seems a little slow
