Should AI friendliness be a priority for your projects?

from the self-post dept.

Recently I came up with an idea that if MCP server and AI focused readme is reasonable for your project than it must be done.Take for example my API mocking/prototyping server "Apate" (github.com/rustrum/apate). 1 year ago I never thought about AI as a main consumer of this tool. So it was focused mostly on smart human developers. But now I'm starting to think that developers should not be...

I is cheap to generate AI code thus nothing stop people to continue doing it.

Show HN: I'm not a PostgREST fan this is why I'm building an alternative

Don't get me wrong, core PostgREST concept is good. But I do think that stuff like Haskell and PlSQL should not be used in production.This is why I came up with the idea to make my own API generation service. Right now it is using SqLite as a main DB and generates endpoints based based on TOML DSL with some LUA scripting.I guess in several week I will have fully working usable MVP.

It must be able to cache it's all content in browser.

I guess to do it it properly you need to make it PWA.

From license terms you can see that any independent developer and small teams could use it without any issues.

And yes I do not want it to be "free stuff" for big corporations. I just do not know any existing license that can define such terms.

As I see httpmock is meant only for rust unit tests. In my case unit test library is a side effect. Apate main goal is to be a stand alone server. For example you are building web app that interacts with backend which is not ready yet. So you can simulate some API from this backend locally.

Maybe, but it is much simpler, probably faster, starts instantly and do not eats tons of RAM.

I just thought that MIT for subset of users is better than "My Own License"

Well plain text README is booooooring. And I just realized that adding emoji could help to make it more fun and emphasize some context.

First of all, this is not a web app.

Second, what should I use if I want a small binary with no dependencies and low CPU/RAM usage?

I could’ve used Go, but once you know Rust Go’s existence almost stops making sense :)

It is simple. If you do not like it - do not use it. I do not care. Have no plans to conquer the world with this project :)

Well the point here is that if I created it by myself I can make whatever license I want. But I do not want to write my own license. AFAIK even if you grant something for subset of users for "free" you have to define legally terms of this "free" usage.
