A while ago GitHub informed me that they would sponsor Copilot for our open source project AlaSQL (a JavaScript SQL database for the client).

I had never really thought much about it. I actively try to ignore the industry push to shove AI into everything. But a few days ago, I somewhat accidentally assigned Copilot to an issue. To my surprise, a nice PR was created shortly after with a spot-on solution and a test file. A one-shot fix!

Impressed, I went to our oldest issue (11 years old). Click. Assigned. Let's see.

After 48 minutes, I was asked to review the PR. It had one-shot fixed an age-old problem with `ORDER BY` across 3+ `UNION` clauses. This involved updating the grammar for the lexical analysis and inserting the right controls to ensure the ordering executed at the right time. Nice.

I immediately went slightly rampant on old (and well-described) issues, and after a combined engagement of 5 hours across 2 days "herding" the AI, the next version of the AlaSQL library was released - fixing issues with a combined age of 109 years, 1 month, and 28 days.

Not bad for guiding an agent for a few hours.


Just use sheets. Like powder, but without inhaling the dust/smell and the slight mess. I like the ones from Lucent Globe.


Just to confirm: did they just release a model with the exact same name as the previous one?


I LOVE IT!

I would love to see a "Playlist per day" so you can listen to the vibe of the city on a particular day and not just one song at a time.

And really nice working making a visual attitude that burns into you memory...


Can we get this for yellow and green?



Can we please call this "htmx 3"? its so much more clear and the branding around htmx is great.


I like it.

Do we have some htmx flavor ability to fetching raw html string and update elements with it?


Sounds like the real complaint here is not about Jira but about people using Jira wrong, because they dont understand how you facilitate a productive environment for the lifecycle of the delivery across product, design, QA and developers of different stacks.


Im about to make the transition for alasql. Any chance you can share a link to a repo you feel did this well?


WASI will blow your mind


Progress is quite slow. The "Component Model" proposal is very early days. There's .wit and .world going on that will blow your mind!
