Truly love the website.

Although I must say this threw me off:

> Steer clear of load-bearing tech debt as your agents evolve.

Satirical?

Yeah, but to my understanding that’s not what Shopify is doing.

Totally depends on your business model too. We have clients that often require quick changes for compliance reasons, and they need to ensure all users of our apps are congruently updated. That’s not easy without OTA.

This is so true, and I'm surprised that Shopify didn't mention it or that they don't use OTA updates.

Linux is 100% created by an ethnically Swedish guy in Finland. Your point is?

I’m a European who has contributed to the kernel (a single, pathetic patch but a patch nonetheless). That means at the very least it’s not 100% created by Linus

I should have been more specific about what “created” meant, but my point was just to emphasize how ridiculous it is to ascribe national provenance to a massive open source project like Linux.

Ouch, so many wrong statements with your comment, where to begin. For starters, you seem to imply that Linux is done created, but Linus is still actively creating more of Linux, so check mate, mate.

As a Finish/American citizen. Not sure why people should trust the rest of what you write when you cannot even get the basics correctly.

Edit: Aww, you were so wrong you had to edit the complete comment to say something else? Boo! Come on, stand up for being wrong when it happens.

I mean, Operation Paperclip and Von Braun were central to the success of the Apollo program. The Soviets had a similar postwar-German-capture program, if I remember correctly.

Not that similar

Similar in the sense that they captured and extracted them, but you are right that Germans were not as central to the actual operations of the Soviet program.

Yep, that did happen

Realpolitik sorely lacking

Even the "educated" people on HN have literal incorrect understanding.

It's a difficult problem to solve.

Super cool. Love these kinds of posts.

Wow, this is a very good site. I hope the see the other articles filled in at some point.

> Just had a thought, what if you made new contributors write a human-authored essay on why they’re submitting a patch, and then check it against Pangram?

The problem is writing such an essay takes magnitudes more of an effort for people who are not native English (or whatever the language is in which discussions are done about the project) speakers.

Also, relatedly, essays written by non-native English speakers often get considered to be AI-written by common AI detection systems, even though no AI was involved when writing them; see for example

> I'm Kenyan. I Don't Write Like ChatGPT. ChatGPT Writes Like Me.

> https://marcusolang.substack.com/p/im-kenyan-i-dont-write-li...

I’m as skeptical of the AI writing detection as anyone else, but I’ve been trying to beat Pangram v4 for the last week and it’s essentially impossible.

Have you tried in both directions though? You need to test both sensitivity and specificity.

Yes. It’s scarily accurate.

They have a blog post on it if you look up “Pangram v4 System Card“
