How many crabs where drawn?

Quite a few actually. Other popular animals: dinosaurs, cats, and snails!

Does this UI work with Open Code?

In simple projects where database is only changed via an API, we just audit the API instead. It's easier to display and easier to store than tracking each DB change a single transaction does

That's pretty elegant, compared to a lot of the solutions in this thread. Honestly, it sounds like the what I'll be recommending. Using a logging tool to output JSON events.

But what happens if you need to manually update a record?

My gf manages to get paid using Cursor/Copilot, despite not being able to branch herself out of a loop

In my experience Copilots work expertly at CRUD'ing inside a well structured project, and for MVPs in languages you aren't an expert on (Rust, C/C++ in my case)

The biggest demerit is that agents are increasingly trying to be "smart" and using powershell search/replace or writing scripts to skimp on tokens, with results that make me unreasonably angry

I tried adding i18n to an old react project, and copilot used all my credits + 10 USD because it kept shitting everything up with its maddening, idiotic use if search replace

If it had simply ingested each file and modified them only once, it would have been cheaper

As you can tell, I am still salty about it

I just had a deja vu, I'm sure I read this some months ago

Did you previously write this exact comment before?

Had a look and it does not show up anywhere else: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Its also small enough that a simple "Claude, migrate to Rust" would work to succesfully launder all the code

Thank you! I shipped a new version with the correct license

Are you sure it's correct? It says it's AGPL but the explanation given sounds like what you want is actually the LGPL. AGPL is about what happens if you expose a program as a SaaS and is generally banned from any company due to the "viral" nature i.e. a service that used Mantic would need to be fully open sourced even if the code was never distributed.

LGPL is for libraries: you can use an LGPLd program in proprietary software, but you have to make the source of the LGPLd program with modifications available if you distribute it. It doesn't infect the rest of the program, and it doesn't have any clauses that trigger for SaaS scenarios.

Your current explanation doesn't jive with my understanding the AGPL. For example, you cannot realistically sell a service that incorporates an AGPLd component because it'd require you to open source the entire service.

Thanks for the correction, you’re right that I mixed up LGPL and AGPL there. I haven’t updated the license yet but I plan to adjust it so it better matches the usage model and doesn’t create the “everything must be open source” issue you mentioned. Really appreciate you pointing it out. Thanks Mike!

You're welcome!

Manus is pretty "big" in the entrepreneur crowd here in Brazil

When it came out is was very good, and had much better results than ChatGPT

dbos.dev should take care of long-running tasks, but I haven't tried running too many tasks yet as my other bigger projects all use Temporal

The answer is always money, just ask all the small, rich European countries that have no need for draconian measures against their citizens

Maybe most of these accounts are managed by a offshore'd social media company?

yup, for sure that is it :)
