"has me on antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, and mood stabilizers"

Have you considered getting a second opinion on your meds? That sounds like a lot if that's 3 separate medications, and not without side effects which may be contributing to a lack of interest in interests.

No, you have to understand that technology is neutral and that there aren't inherent design flaws because only the people are flawed. Just let developers develop in peace

No, nothing exists in a vacuum.

You'd be nuts to run the Docker daemon anywhere near production.

Why is that? I also used to hold this opinion, but we use it for 99% of our production deployments (or k8s where we need it) and it has been maximally reliable, and super convenient for fault-finding. Maybe I didn't understand your take.

Looks really cool. I like the style :P

I hope it takes off!

I noticed it's a bit slow after clicking the title of a thread, unlike HN which is a bit more instantaneous. It wouldn't be a problem but it's the main interaction so worth double checking/optimizing.

Very cool. I was thinking about something similar. In response to those saying it is not in the true spirit of Zettelkasten, that's probably fair, but this could easily incorporate your own notes/thoughts too, but you get to keep a convenient summary of the content you collected from outsite yourself. I think the other commentors may have missed the fact that while the LLM substitutes you, it does try to create new insights during the "Thread" part of the core loop.

What Í'm doing a lot is vibe coding and stashing. Not even a public branch, just git stash the whole thing the LLM writes.

Also, I stack the stash. When I vibe code, I pop it, let it work on its own mess, then I stash it again.

One project has almost 13.000 lines of vibe mess, all stashed.

One good thing, is that the stash builds. It's just that I don't want to release more code than I can read. It's a long review queue that is pre-merged somehow.

Once in a while I pick something from there, then I review it and integrate into the codebase more seriously. I don't have the throughput to review it all, and not all projects can be yolo'd.

How can you maintain that much stashed code between commits? I assume you refer to it and manually code using the "mess" as inspo? I don't know stash works much deeper than stashing things I might need later so I can pull from remote.

Huh I must have just got in on time as I set up a local account about 12 hours ago following a tutorial.

afarviral commented on Show HN: Modshim – A new alternative to monkey-patching in Python   github.com/joouha/modshim... · Posted by u/joouha
afarviral · 5 months ago
This is interesting, and I'll try to remember to give this a go next time I'm tempted to patch something from the standard library, but...

The README mentions 3 scenarios that this might be preferred over, but not the fourth which I regularly do: Create my own functions/classes that are composed from the unchanged modules. E.g. a request_with_retries function which adds retry logic to requests without the need to monkey patch. I regularly use decorators as well to add things like retries.

For more complex scenarios Modshim might win out, as mentioned in the understated section of the README "Benefits of this Approach":

> Internal Reference Rewriting: This example demonstrates modshim's most powerful feature. By replacing requests.sessions.Session, we automatically upgraded top-level functions like requests.get() because their internal references to Session are redirected to our new class.

> Preservation of the Original Module: The original requests package is not altered. Code in other parts of an application that imports requests directly will continue to use the original Session object without any retry logic, preventing unintended side-effects.

What I think this means is Modshim lets you really get in to the guts of a module (monkey-patch style, giving you god-like powers), while limiting the damage.

I wasn't planning to renew so soon. Then they dropped this bombshell and I impulse bought another 12 months subscription. So far I'm digging it and looking forward to composing some spicey chord progressions.
