Thanks for all your open source work. You changed the industry for the better. Are you thinking of building a Github competitor? I would find that very appealing.

If you’re going this far, why even have a cli? Just have your agent grab the openapi spec from the server and set envvars. It can curl its way around happily. Security? I don’t see how this is any more or less secure than any other claude code workflow.

It seems we've round about rediscovered apis.

I tried this with datadog and it can build high quality monitoring notebooks for the pr im working on in a single shot.

Hipcamp | Product Engineer | Full-time | REMOTE(US,CA) | hipcamp.com

We’re looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join Hipcamp and help build the core product experiences that connect people with the outdoors. This is a hands-on, end-to-end role working across the stack—shipping user-facing features, collaborating closely with product, design, and data, and iterating based on real customer behavior.

This is a challenging and rewarding role at the intersection of marketplaces, real-world impact, and modern product engineering. If you enjoy owning outcomes, working in a remote-first environment, and using thoughtful tooling (including AI) to move fast without cutting corners, we’d love to talk.

Apply here: https://ats.rippling.com/en-US/join-the-hipcamp-team/jobs/e1...

As I'm on vacation, I took a couple days to put together an idea I've had bumping around in the back of my head for a while. What if you could write pure ruby methods and ask an llm to figure out all the implementation details to return the response to any method call?

The library leans hard on ruby's magical (hence the name) `method_missing` which has always impressed me with its simple cleverness.

This is my first open source project, so please leave feedback and be kind.

Many thanks in advance,

:Pat

I mostly agree, but why stop at tests? Shouldn’t it be spec driven development? Then neither the code or the language matter. Wouldn’t user stories and requirements à la bdd (see cucumber) be the right abstraction?

You can. It’s called multimodal and basically is just picking a shipping container off a train car with a crane and putting it on a truck platform or a ship. 1 platform supports all modes.

I'm pretty sure you just described the first phase of every product's lifecycle. Everyone plays on the same field, early adopters start winning, everyone else follows... eventually you monetize it and it becomes clear that winners-win is a better business strategy than everyone wins. I don't know how to get around the business physics of this. Not sure anyone does. Tik-tok will eventually become the stagnant incumbent and it will try to suppress its challengers or it will die on the Vine.
