I hope flock gets sued into oblivion, and I hope the officer that deployed a canine with no good reason gets sued into oblivion and loses his job. What a disgusting misuse of power.

this file is extremely helpful actually. I have it configured so that the server that runs my git server when ssh'd into will automatically use the real ssh port.
This is a great change!

Fair enough, it's clearly not the right tool for everyone. HTML-over-the-wire works well for server-rendered apps where the primary interaction is fetching and displaying content. For highly interactive UIs with complex client-side state, a proper SPA framework is the better choice. Different problems, different tools.
That said, the vast majority of websites are purely transactional: click a link, load a page; submit a form, load a page. For those, there's little reason to add a full frontend framework. HTML-over-the-wire can improve responsiveness without adding complexity.
idk. I'm just extremely not sold on the idea of having practically any interaction going over the wire unless absolutely necessary. Keeping everything in the browser for as long as is physically possible is what improves responsiveness, a single page application, once loaded, is not susceptible to spotty connections, dropping packets, a slow connection, whatever, like html-over-the-wire is.
I have been extremely bearish on html-over-the-wire solutions from the minute I saw and understood what HTMX was trying to achieve. In my eyes, the only way to truly achieve what I, and users, expect in a web page is with a SPA. I understand the hesitation to use heavier SPAs, but my hesitation to fetching html from the server after the page load to update the page is much larger. But I also do understand how html-over-the-wire provides a good middle ground between web 1.0 apps where basically every interaction reloaded the entire page, and web 2.0 apps that feel closer to an actual application rather than a website.

I really like the idea of a work chat that could somehow be intelligently summarized, organized, and searched or shared via LLMs.

"feel like a single-page app" except that its not and it will never be. I hate HTML-over-the-wire solutions to any problem. There is not a worse solution that has been more normalized than html-over-the-wire.
I think part of the deeper issue is that contributing to an OSS project has become a rite of passage, a way to strengthen your profile. If you need to have contributed to look good but you don't really care about the contribution itself then you resort to this kind of trick.
We had a similar plague for vulnerability disclosures, with people reporting that they had "discovered" vulnerabilities like "if you call this function with null you get a NullPointerException". D'uh.
There is also the fact that we're measuring the wrong thing like speed of development. In my previous employer people had jumped in fully into the AI bandwagon, everyone was marvelled at how fast they were. Once I was reviewing the PR and I had to tell the author "dude, all your tests are failing". He just laughed it out. Everyone can produce software very fast if it's not required to work.
AI-assisted gamification.
"I can do math really fast"
"okay, what's 137*243"
"132,498"
"not even close"
"but it was fast"
As it's phrased in response to "are you happy to accept cookies", I suppose it could make sense, but I think every cookie button should be legally mandated to say "I accept cookies" or a similar variation that makes it EXPLICITLY clear that I am accepting cookies.

Personally, I like the LLMs.txt standard. I see AI scrapers hitting a few of my sites all the time, and I honestly am currently ok with my content being scraped (though I still retain my rights over my content, and this does not serve as permission to steal my content should I decide I am not okay with the theft of my content). Anything that can, sometimes quite dramatically, lower the bandwidth and cost of scrapers for both myself and the scrapers sounds like an ultimate good to me. I can understand the... I guess it's a repulsion to it, since you're putting work into something that ultimately leads to your content being stolen. However, we as developers must come to understand that in the current year, developers use and sometimes rely on large language models. I myself use Supermaven and have experimented with various LLM platforms, as well as self-hosted some models. LLMs are a great tool if you can use them correctly, though I am not some AI evangelist, not by any means. I believe LLMs.txt offers a significant benefit to users, operators, and AI providers.
