Nice writeup, but I don't understand how `curl` didn't trigger bug for them (or any other hyper HTTP server out there), given the explanation in the article.

`curl --http1.1` sends `Connection: Close` so sender (hyper) must attempt to shutdown connection after sending whole body. Surely any network is slower than memory copy into socket kernel buffers, so it must reliably trigger condition "buffer flush can't be done in one go" and thus trigger early TCP shutdown.

Is it adhoc or you use more structured approaches like openspec? I also tend to work on a plan first, but it stays as in-session todo, which is hard to reference later.

even the people making these tools don’t really know where it’s going to land

exactly my point to compare it with pre-iPhone mobile market: wide (and growing fast!) adoption, clear potential (WAP websites, J2ME games), many players in the game, some real market fit discovered already (Blackberry), influx of capitial and tinkerers alike, but still a lot of unknowns where it will ultimately land.

Even if no single improvement was revolutionary (even first iPhone was just a fancy phone without App Store), overall mobile made billion dollar industries possible, for better or worse, and changed the way we live. Counts as industrial revolution, comparable to the Internet itself in my eyes.

On the other hand we keep seeing only marginal generational imorovements in CPU space, yet performance gains over last 10 years in CPUs are very material.

Every new model might not be a leap like it used to be, but give it enough time and improvements add up.

How is offline support in their mobile app? I am looking for a protonmail alternative, because it didn't open emails when I really needed while being offline.

Feels like it can be solved wirh even more AI: adverserial models reviewing and testing work performed by main model.

Actually I am curikus to try somwthing like that myself. Is there an existing orchestrating engine (or single agent) which can spawn multiple subagents and keep passing their feedback/output between each other until all of them agree that assignment overall is complete?

From the linked blog post:

The standard price for a GB of egress from a cloud provider is 10x what you pay racking a server in a normal data center.

From the exe.dev pricing page:

additional data transfer $0.07/GB/month

So at least on the network price promise they don't seem to deliver, still costs an arm and a leg like your neighbourhood hyperscaler.

Overall service looks interesting, I like simplicity with convenience, something which packet.net deliberately decided not to offer at the time.
