Reviews were always meant to be about more than just finding bugs, thanks for mentioning that.

Nowadays I'll ask a question to, for example, try to understand why was a particular abstraction chosen, and I'll get a response from a robot, sometimes without even a disclaimer that the response came from a robot (it's still somewhat easy to spot due to the shape and style of the prose).

It does make me feel like there is nobody on the other side, especially working remotely, so I think I relate to your feeling of isolation.

Sometimes I care about how some change impacts the broader application moving forward, not really the specific technical tradeoffs for one construct or another, and that's, more often than not, very lacking.

I've been recommending Bitwarden for a few years now and have also been paying a yearly sub since 2022, as I always thought 10$ was a really good value.

But with all this stuff coming out, I'm holding off on recommending it anymore; at least until everything calms down and the new value proposition is fully laid out.

Like other folks have said, I don't think it's yet time to migrate. That being said, it doesn't hurt to do an encrypted export for backup purposes, start looking at alternatives, and reach out to people I know use Bitwarden to do the same.

Keeping an eye out on how this develops.

My experience with code review tools has been dreadful. In most cases I can remember the reviews are inaccurate, "you are absolutely right" sycophantic garbage, or missing the big picture. The worst feature of all is the "PR summary" which is usually pure slop lacking the context around why a PR was made. Thankfully that can be turned off.

I have to be fair and say that yes, occasionally, some bug slips past the humans and is caught by the robot. But these bugs are usually also caught by automated unit/integration tests or by linters. All in all, you have to balance the occasional bug with all the time lost "reviewing the code review" to make sure the robot didn't just hallucinate something.

Was CONTRIBUTING.md also authored with the help of AI tools?

I can see a "YOUR_USERNAME" placeholder was removed in this commit: https://github.com/whispem/minikv/commit/eda60aa154a1293d981....

I got it too from yccombinator/-notification. They keep trying with different account/repo names.

I switched to uv in an open source project I maintain as our builds were taking dozens of minutes to resolve dependencies using Poetry. The migration itself was pretty easy as both tools use pyproject.toml, so it was a matter of changing headers and minor adjustments.

After the switch, the same dependency resolution was done in seconds. This tool single-handedly made iteration possible again.

How would one go about acquiring the skills for this job? I have experience in other languages and stacks but never worked much with C beyond educational level.

I am plenty interested in learning more, so I'm wondering if anybody has any recommendations beyond diving into wine/proton and looking for low-hanging fruit.

Any plans to support SPN installation on an edge router?

I have a VPN configured in my pfSense router so that I don't need to run it in each client. I guess this would make it easy to go over the 5 device limit though...

Regardless, I'll try out for the firewall and network monitoring.
