I'm wondering now how the heck we ended up so early on Github. It was back then just a small unknown startup but i'm not sure what connection we first 30,000 users share. At the same time i remember there must have been also some connection to Y Combinator back in 2008. Is there a way to see my own history of probably first commits or activity on Github? Oh, i found out. It was the early Rails Community on Github. That's probably what the first Github Users all share in common.
I'm user 7xx,xxx but I also believe I created a Github account while working on Rails projects (basically copying Ryan Bates and assembling things together. haha good times)
We live in crazy times. I wanted to add a PID to the list for my personal use and since I use Rust way more than Go, I decided to one-shot one app, and Codex indeed one shotted it, wow.
Ahhh yes sure, but not too worried about that i think. Its not so difficult to create, but to innovate and maintain requires participation. It can be the bulk of the job. But most def its sad if people leave their good ideas in a fork of their own. But also great that you can reproduce a good idea thats been conflated with wayy too much crap, because a product lost site of ehat their value proposition was
I'm tempted to one-shot this into a series of FISH abbreviations.
And I would want someone to use that to one-shot a python implementation. And on and on like a game of telephone until the context degrades so far that it becomes an entirely different program.
A while ago I worked on a similar idea, it was back when I was learning Rust so not super proud of the code, but I love the name of the tool: https://github.com/gistia/joindoe

I have been slowly progressing on writing a Rust like language that compiles to JavaScript for a few years now. With the rise of AI and it becoming better recently with Opus 4.5, specially with Rust, I've been trying to have a speedrun version of it.
Think of it as TypeScript but with full algebraic types and other commodities from Rust:
