  • So in 2026, it is more efficient to waste thousands of tokens on rolling your own slop version, rather than adding a feature to something that already exists.

    Something like btop has been there for decades and will continue to do so where as this slop tool will be unmaintained or even deleted in a year.

  • No mention of Rust in repo description and every 4 sentences?! Thanks, I’ll look at it! I didn’t know I miss those things until reading README ;(
  • Please, please, take the time to write READMEs by hand. It at least shows intentionality.
  • If you don't bother to write your own announcement, I don't bother to look at your thing.
  • This is nice, however why build this when you could have raised a PR to btop to add support directly into it?
