Yes.

The C-suite (and the Board) jumped on to it as a way to reduce headcount and cost, and have stuck their heads in the sand when data shows project velocity is slowing, and bugs are getting created more frequently. Primarily because they have attempted to replace experienced teams with Cursor and cheap outsourcing.

The allure is apparently too strong to face reality that AI can be a powerful addition to the toolbox for productivity, but it is not a replacement for actual skill and experience.


Can someone add some context as to what that diff is showing?

Is this project only a proof of concept of what could be done with Claude, or is the result something that could have certain use cases?


Interesting project, problematic name?

Searching for answers in the proper context was difficult pre-AI for some language languages (ex. "Go" vs "Golang" [1]), I wonder if search term collision with the word "script" is going to be better or worse with summarized searches.

[1] The Go language developers at sometime asserted the name was not "Golang", but that produced much better search results.


That's a valuable feedback, and the answer is I don't really know , it just make sense to name like this when I created it.

But it's a nascent project, that's plenty of time to think if the name is a good fit or not. I'm always open to change if makes total sense


If you are super concerned about their privacy, should you be using Windows anyway? Or any commercial OS for that matter?


Is the cofounder "rewriting" that code providing zero of the existing code as context? Doing it in a completely green field fashion?

Or is any of the existing platform is used as an input for the rewrite?


Because the scrapers are poorly written. Efficiency is not a concern for them.


Feels like parasites who are killing their hosts by DDOSing them to death



Isn't it also because LLMs are trained on existing software, and the programs we would write in Python or JS have few examples in C ?


Yes. That is what the commenter means by "mechanical reproduction" and "temporarily smoothed over due to larger datasets".


On macOS there is MailMate: https://freron.com
