this post is, to me, at least 80% content, 20% pitch. it is extremely good orientation & alignment, gratis. me? i'm incredibly thankful, for this as a waypost, that no one has written down before. a clearly stated beautiful indicator for a massive tectonic shift in software. people being a bit small, if they can't see the incredible value of this post.
Not sarcasm at all. I think you might overestimate the time and effort needed for this. When you maintain a _personal_ fork with no users except yourself, you only ever need to change something when you encounter a bug or need a new feature.
E.g. I have personal forks of mosh and cmux, each took maybe 1 hour of my time total?
I found this article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49156111 resonating with me, except I obviously don't do stuff like "nightly cron to sync with main", I just never touch the code unless it breaks or I want a new feature.
their blogging is incredible. i'd hop on any submission.
https://blog.exe.dev/inventory for what tools they have. https://blog.exe.dev/botiquette for rules-of-the-road for LLM expectations, my favorite llm rules that i've ever seen. https://blog.exe.dev/exe-scroll for how they use multiple libghostty instances for their web interface.
https://blog.exe.dev/devtools-must-be-open-source got traction recently & is incredible. incredible incredible posting. a spiritual arrow aimed straight at the heart of the agentic age. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49156111
