  • This joke repository is so offensive! I haven't even had a ponytail since 1996.

  • calling it "think" is crazy gng,

  • Wait is this a joke? I think it's incredibly useful to have these basic 5 heuristics. I've been trying to wrangle the agents to make very simple deletions and text edits quicker, faster. But just saying "go faster on these edits" isn't doing it.

  • We are past weaving wizard spells. Now we are at cunning demon summoning.

  • In the spirit of the project, I can replace this with a "one-liner":

        Is there a simpler solution?

  • The repo is bigger than most of the code Ponytail would allow me to write.

  • I will be trying this ASAP. With the locally hosted models I've run and Gemeni's free no-login results, I've found they love to put in everything the skill here tells it not to. Today one in Python put a lambda that has no arguments to call a function that takes no arguments instead of just passing the function. There's at least one linter that checks for that but still it's a lot of babysitting to get good code.

  • I had long discussions over whether we could just not use tons on npm libraries and use the native browser feature for things like that. I typically lose these discussions because I'm considered the backend guy. My knowledge about HTML, JS and CSS dates back to times when there was no npm...

  • Real senior developers can do that because they have experience and can put that in context. E.g. <input type="date"> maybe fine for one scenario, but we might need a fancier one for another. I wonder if the skill takes PRD or the surrounding code into context to better emulate those developers?

  • A lot of it is about developing good judgement, IMO.

  • Oh the irony of this giant repo for a prompt. Is this the new leftpad?

  • My thoughts exactly. The whole thing is essentially just these rules, and a metric ton of boilerplate for specific plugin systems.

    My own personal ponytail says this could just be this in a code block of a README
