I'm working on Monitor Monkey[1]

It's attempting to be the easiest and nicest way to monitor Linux servers. I'm currently implementing 0 config custom alerting. All you will have to do is write a file to a home directory with some json in it e.g event_name:blah,interval:1m,data=10 - no server side config at all!

So should be quite suitable for big deployments :)

If one of these tools has broad model support (like aider) it would be a game changer.

fwiw it doesn't/that was a joke. In some cases the LLM will suggest running a command that doesn't terminate (eg npm run dev to run a webserver), so it'd get stuck running that command just waiting for user input.

I'm a bit confused here, what promt do you use to start Aider and how do you just let Aider run wild so you can play cookie clicker?

Trouble is when it sprawls into an unmaintainable mess. This software will all rot away

I do think a lot more companies will be using AI to build instead of buy, for better or worse.

The trouble comes when a non dev makes slopware and it becomes relied upon. Then it will inevitably all come falling down.
