What _IS_ Arcane? I fail to understand from their website https://getarcane.app/

Is it a deployment automation platform where it can run a project’s docker services, with rollback and all?

CLIs like claude code equally improve over time. tmux helps running remote sessions like there were local.

Why should we invest long time into your „ADE“, really?

> see their status and review / test their work

Won’t that be addressed eventually by the CLIs themselves?

Maybe you’re betting on being purchased by one of the agentic coding providers given your tool has long term value on its own?

Had exactly the same thoughts. Thanks for saving me from posting this.

I’m also interested in what you think can become best practices where we can have (auto-scaling) worker instances that can pick up DBOS workflows and execute them.

Do you think an app’s (e.g. FastAPI) backend should be the DBOS Client, submitting workflows to the DBOS instance? And then we can have multiple DBOS instances with each picking up jobs from a queue?

Who can she a light on where these claims „far right forces“ originate? What were these spam emails saying?
Moving from Java to Python for the preferred backend language many many years ago was a relief: building prototypes faster, no need to mention obvious types (int, bool, string) anywhere. In some places using (data) classes and I had robust programs. When doing type mistakes, running the program or having unit tests exactly told me where I had it wrong - no need for type annotations to enjoy programming, right?

But now over the last years, I happen to prefer changing programs a lot without running them a lot. I often do code refactorings over multiple commits, being highly concentrated, without running the code once. And then only running the code only 1 hour or 2 later. Such a pleasant activity! Just writing, reading, writing, thinking code. No ugly and long stack traces, no need to input user data into input fields, just reading and changing the program code, with the editor in full screen.

And guess what I highly started to appreciate, after many years of Python! Type annotations! With type annotations a LSP would immediately underline any mistake I would accidentally make, and that made me feel much more comfortable and secure about my changes, over several commits, touching 100s of lines without ever running the program. I suddenly learned to understand, after many years of dynamic type less programming with Python, that I can get more easily and for much longer into a flow state when I add annotations and run a LSP live over my code while I work on it.

How can one proof/reject authenticity of this article?

Big fan of Digital Ocean App Platform here. Deploying, running and scaling containers is so easy and their very good abstractions and tooling are worth the money.
That is to say what?
The research concluded in a hypothesis, not a factual proof.
Read: “projected” not “actual” future (!) warming.

It wouldn’t be the first time these climate “scientists” were wrong.

Glad not everyone is brain washed in this HN crowd here.
