i have a lot of sway over what git+cicd system my corporate overlord uses. As I am very Github alternative curious right now, if anyone is pushing alternative git+cicd stack, I want to hear it.

What do you mean? like it doesn't doesn't know how to perform a actions on it like it does with the gh cli? fwiw in a different comment i cited gh cli X claude code as one of the reasons I still github.

Another reason is Github Actions. For all of it's problems ( supply chain, reliability issues...to name a few ), it's tight integration with Github (not git) events is pretty great (when it works).

Yes, yes, yes. I think this is perfect natural experiment to see if saas moats really have gotten smaller...or if that was just an AI mirage.

Feels like a whole bunch of us are converging on very similar patterns right now. I've been building OctopusGarden ( https://github.com/foundatron/octopusgarden ), which is basically a dark software factory for auto

"treating generated code as opaque weights is a mental model shift worth stealing." That's why I stole it from strongdm.ai :)

Appreciate the thoughtful comment. I think there's a key distinction though: this isn't a conversational agent pipeline where you need to trace reasoning chains. The attractor loop is closer to gradient descent than to an agent co

Right now OctopusGarden logs every LLM call with token counts and cost, and the SQLite store records each run and iteration (spec hash, scores per scenario, generated code). So you get a full trace of what was generated, what it was tested

Cool site/ good idea. Maybe I'm underestimating it (I probably am), but I don't think it's a huge leap from what I published today and that compliant vision you're tackling.

GDAL is dope. Everything geospatial is built on on it. Props to osgeo.org for organizing the support and development for it for the past 2+(?) decades.

I have a M1 8GB MacBook Air. I keep wishing I’ll run into a performance issue so I have an excuse to buy a new laptop, but it never happens. I also don’t use chrome because of all the reasons mentioned in these comments.
