Looks like a good light weight solution to front object storage with a front end and auth. One suggestion is to add the license to the repo. The readme says License: MIT, but there’s no license file.
Well, I recognize this is a joke. I would enjoy having a simulation where you inherit and hold poorly maintained subway system like the Boston MBTA and have to bring it back to health with all the challenges these systems face
I’ve been thinking a bit on how to improve discourse between disagreeing people and how the quick response style of comment sections don’t lend themselves to serious debate.
One idea I have is to mimic Lincoln–Douglas debates where two people debate each other in a fixed format and with structured time for rebuttal. The hope being by slowing down rebuttal the response becomes more mindful.
In general though I think its the speed and low quality of response leading to dissatisfaction of comment platforms.
The comparing 2025 with the 2023 and 2024 versions of the article is also an interesting snapshot in the state of tech journalism.

I had to reset my context window frequently
It would do a bad job troubleshooting large sections of code
Probably abysmal
Since xslt is built dynamically in the DOM most crawlers don’t build the site and pick up the metadata.
Although I’m not convinced chasing SEO is a useful endeavor any more https://housefresh.com/beware-of-the-google-ai-salesman/
I wonder if AI crawlers would have the same problem and pass over the site
Thanks for the suggestion I’ll dig into this, admittedly I haven’t worked with Atom so I didn’t consider it
A quick glance at Atom though says to me its worth an attempt to refactor.
