This is a perfect example that I've often seen in practice. There's nothing blocking in this workflow at all, and no reason these changes cannot be made in independent changes. e.g. 1) API implementation - Including tests and docs

This just reeks to me of bad practice. Why use this as opposed to breaking your change into smaller PRs and merging them individually behind a feature flag or similar? With this, you have a marginally better UX for reviewing through the Git

Super interesting, thanks! I didn't think about how this issue could easily point to a major improvement that could be made on the package manager level. Unfortunate that in Python land only Conda supports it though. It looks from the

How so? What disadvantages does having strings as a first class Type have?

Looks super cool! A few questions: 1) Can you get the actual code output or will this end up calling OpenAI each function call? 2) What latency does it add? What about token usage? 3) Is the functionality deterministic?

I presume it's related to how old the components are, not necessarily the console hardware itself. Seems like the main chip was released first in 2015
