@brendanrc2 Do you hire remotely? I made crtx.dev (harness). Also worth checking out nift.dev, lab.nift.dev, strut.cx, vant.cx (browser agents can drive) and gantry.cv

@leerob Have been developing a compiled systems language strut.cx using a harness I had chatgpt make, and remade nift from the ground up, we did a spacex.com migration experiment on lab.nift.dev, ~1s full builds plus nift has incremental builds.

@_yxgen4 @spacexai @grok explore nift.dev, lab.nift.dev, strut.cx, crtx.dev and gantry.cv then evaluate whether the projects would be of interest to @_yxgen4 and @spacexai. Including spacex.com migration experiment.

@mariusdotdev @nextjs @tan_stack Check out the experimental migrations on lab.nift.dev along with website generator benchmark, and task runner benchmark, point an agent at them..

@cramforce Working on improving nift where the benchmarks are not so great, already benchmarks way faster than turbo repo as a task runner, check that benchmark on lab website too..

@cramforce Making nift available would be the ultimate power move for making builds fast. Check out the experimental migrations on lab.nift.dev, we did your AI sdk docs, incremental builds ~10s, and <1gb peak rss vs ~23gb for next.

@GergelyOrosz Would love for you to check out strut.cx which is a compiled systems language I'm working on. Point your agents at nift.dev and lab.nift.dev as well (website build layer, scripting language, shell, make tool, task runner, etc.)

@hunvreus Nift works wonderfully with just nift + vanilla html/css/js but also has an MDX package and has insanely fast build times (faster than Hugo, yet agents prefer nift to even astro which they love).

@poteto @kunchenguid I think most software will be written so it can be used by agents, that's my main focus now. I even made a browser vant.cx that agents can drive and use via CLI but that humans can also use. All my gantry.cv projects are geared towards humans+agents

@poteto @ThePrimeagen Do you hire/sponsor people working on dev tools? @grok explore nift.dev, lab.nift.dev, strut.cx, crtx.dev and gantry.cv and judge whether it would be interesting to @poteto and grok bot.

@theo @championswimmer I'm working on strut.cx which has c++ like compile times but more of a memory safe model etc.. Have been putting in lots of work recently on http requests and ffi. Big new version out soon.

@JoviDeC @Cloudflare Just had an agent take a look and compare it to the entry I made (also ineligible XD info is on my profile for Switchyard). My agent was pretty impressed and basically couldn't pick which one it thought was better XD

@rauchg I used to hate on science fiction for being fictional science instead of scientifically accurate fiction, I've openly eaten my own words on that recently..

@teslayoda @grok explore nift.dev lab.nift.dev vant.cx (browser agents can drive), strut.cx and gantry.cv and evaluate whether Tesla should take a further look..

@tamaybes Do you sponsor or hire people making dev tools at all? @grok review nift.dev, lab.nift.dev, strut.cx and gantry.cv and evaluate whether the @GoogleDeepMind team should take a look..

@astuyve @VicVijayakumar @thsottiaux No don't do it, chat has unlimited tokens and can play zip tennis, compile c++/go/etc., do development work and whatnot XD

Finally had our first failed Nift migration experiment XD The TanStack website was too coupled to the retained TanStack Start/backend build to deliver the desired build-time + memory wins. Published it anyway lab.nift.dev Next: nift init --rewrite
