Insurance is negative NPV. Trying to make it NPV neutral by giving people tools to self-insure. Starting with an app that lets you self-insure your phone with friends and family.

This is cool. I'm interested in reading more on this concept. Any chance you have a write up of experiences so far? Or can you point to other resources?

This looks fun, thanks for sharing. Will definitely give it a shot soon.

I read over the repo docs and was amazed at how clean and thorough it all looks. Can you share your development story for this project? How long did it take you to get here? How much did you lean on AI agents to write this?

Also, any plans for monetization? Are you taking donations? :)

By default we use both based on regex:

DEFAULT_INCLUDE_PATTERNS = { ".py", ".js", ".jsx", ".ts", ".tsx", ".go", ".java", ".pyi", ".pyx", ".c", ".cc", ".cpp", ".h", ".md", ".rst", "Dockerfile", "Makefile", ".yaml", ".yml", } DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS = { "test", "tests/", "docs/", "examples/", "v1/", "dist/", "build/", "experimental/", "deprecated/", "legacy/", ".git/", ".github/", ".next/", ".vscode/", "obj/", "bin/", "node_modules/", ".log" }

Have you tried giving it tests? Curious if you found they made things worse.

The most interesting part of this article for me was:

> Have multiple checkouts of your repo

I don’t know why this never occurred to me probably because it feels wrong to have multiple checkouts, but it makes sense so that you can keep each AI instance running at full speed. While LLM‘s are fast, this is one of the annoying parts of just waiting for an instance of Aider or Claude Code to finish something.

Also, I had never heard of git worktrees, that’s pretty interesting as well and seems like a good way to accomplish effectively having multiple checkouts.

I've never used Claude Code or other CLI-based agents. I use Cursor a lot to pair program, letting the AI do the majority of the work but actively guiding.

How do you keep tabs on multiple agents doing multiple things in a codebase? Is the end deliverable there a bunch of MRs to review later? Or is it a more YOLO approach of trusting the agents to write the code and deploy with no human in the loop?

- Remove (or perpetually switch to) daylight saving time

- Make everyone use the ISO8601 date format

- Have everyone drive on the right side of the road

- Eliminate the "sidewalk shuffle" by standardizing on always moving to the right

- Customer support lines/banks/etc must shift their opening hours slightly so that they are open outside of business hours, so that working people can use their services

- Make all instant messaging programs use XMPP, Matrix, or another open protocol

- Put the UK back in the EU

- Change world elections to be Alternative Vote, or similar

- Add another month and make all months shorter and the same length. Have an intermission period at the end of the year to iron out the remaining time. A la gormanuary.

- Delete America's guns, give America proper healthcare

- Standardize on Esperanto

- Replace Python with Ruby

- Make it so that Microsoft actually remembers my login session when I click "remember me" instead of logging me out all the time

This, I think, will fix most of the world's major problems.

How would customer line/bank/etc workers ever get help with these services?

I'm working on pure.md[1], which lets your scripts, APIs, apps, agents, etc reliably access web content in markdown format. Simply prefix any URL with `pure.md/` and you get the unblocked markdown content of that webpage. It avoids bot detection and renders JavaScript-heavy websites, and can convert HTML, PDFs, images, and more into pure markdown.

pure.md acts as a global caching layer between LLMs and web content. I like to think of it like a CDN for LLMs, similar to how Cloudinary is a CDN for images.

Great idea, congrats. Can you speak a bit about the the validation piece? Were LLM hallucinations an issue and required this? Are you using some kind of structured output feature?
