You're talking like this is a paid service that's attempting to get customers.

This is an MIT-licensed library on Github that's being offered free of charge. Sometimes people just offer what they've been working on up as a gift... one that is "...provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to the warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and noninfringement.", yanno?

for a standalone project that's fine, but when the project's entire purpose is to track and be an adversary to another project...

the problem is that to someone who can't maintain (realistically, get an LLM to do it without running into refusals) this project on their own, any time they spend utilizing it will end up a waste of time.

  • Even if it just ends up being a base to throw and llm at to update, isn't that still useful? Sounds to me like it'll probably skip the whole part where my agent would have to give me 4 different plans, searches the internet, argues that it's impossible, works out subtools to generate, etc.

    • For the last few builds released by Cloudflare, I basically just told an agent “Hi they changed something. Please fix.” And waited for a few hours (mostly spent in Rust compilation) until it came back fixed. Keeping the codebase clean while doing that long term is honestly the harder part.

      Yes, that was my goal. I will update this for the next couple of weeks, but probably not forever. However I think this is a pretty good foundation for future efforts.

  • Or it's just an experiment to share, I get what you're saying but not everything needs to be feature complete to share.

    I actually vastly prefer people show me their broken demos. Let's me understand how difficult the problem is than I think initially.
