Hadn’t seen Traycer, that looks really polished. An important difference is that eforge is open source (Apache 2.0). I purposefully left out planning features from eforge because I don’t want the same tool that builds my code to force me into a planning methodology. Our role as developers has shifted heavily into planning (offloading implementation), and I’m still getting comfortable with that and want to be free to explore the planning space. Maybe I’ll change my mind after my planning opinions evolve.

Had the same realization which inspired eforge (shameless plug) https://github.com/eforge-build/eforge - planning stays in the developer’s control with all engineering (agent orchestration) handed off to eforge. This has been working well for a solo or siloed developer (me) that is free to plan independently. Allows the developer to confidently stay in the planning plane while eforge handles the rest using a methodology that in my experience works well. Of course, garbage in garbage out - thorough human planning (AI assisted, not autonomous) is key.

I've been calling eforge an agentic build system. Traditional build systems transform source code into artifacts - eforge transforms specifications into source code, then verifies its own output.I built it because I was tired of keeping the orchestration logic in my head - spawning a separate session for a blind review, switching back to the implementing session to evaluate results, deciding...

Ask HN: Pointers for designing a programming club curriculum

Posted by mshark on Monday July 16, 2018 @07:16PM
from the ask-hn dept.

I am planning on starting an after school programming club and my children's school, initally targeting grades 5 - 8 (ages 10 - 14). Some assumptions I currently making: - The club would meet either once or twice per week for an hour for the entire school year. - Expected attendance between 5 and 10 kids. - I will be providing / directing purchase of hardware, and am imagining...

Just this week I started learning org-mode by reading one of Charle Cave's postings on how uses org-mode to implement the Getting Things Done methodology http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/gtd_workflow.h.... For me this has been a great tutorial.

You should have a section in your README discussing differences from D3. I've used D3 a little and understand some of the pain points. Looking at your library I'm asking myself "why would I abandon D3 for this?".
