    When I used to play Screeps[1], a MMO strategy game where you programmed to control your units and buildings, a group of us setup a player that was managed in this exact way called Quorum[2].If anyone wants to run their own project in this way I open sourced the code to do so under the GitConsensus[3] project. There's a Github App (which may not still work, but if there's interest I'll restart it) and a "run it yourself" python library and CLI you can run from Github Actions[4].1. https://screeps.com/2. https://github.com/ScreepsQuorum/screeps-quorum3. https://www.gitconsensus.com/4. https://pypi.org/project/gitconsensus/

    I don't get the title. Do I understand correctly this is basically "Twitch plays Github" without Twitch?

    I'd expect even more chaos, let an LLM build the features and people vote.

    Cool social experiment. It's interesting how narrow the scope of all top voted PRs are: change this or that detail in the voting (daily, count down votes etc), or make it more efficient (rust).I wonder if this has the potential to build a "community" that will take this into a completely different direction, or if it will neatly stay within the initial boundaries.

    Is it a kind of computer-assisted Nomic [0]?0: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic

    Really interesting. I wonder if something good will come out of it. It feels like twitch plays pomemon.

    This is cool, but once a week seems a little slow

    Excited to see how this plays out, I made something similar a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9351286

    > The website IS the repo. The repo IS the website. I wonder if we get something productive by end of 2026 from this repo. Who knows, maybe we solve AGI
  • fourthark
    The end product is... just the website?I feel like I'm missing something.

    They should automate reading hacker news comments and generating PRs to address them
  • fullstackwife
    Should votes get invalidated after major change in the ongoing PR?
  • BinaryIgor
    Are guardrails, CI/CD, to make code at least compile-able and require minimal quality standards also possible to change via PR or managed somewhere else? With this possibility, it might went into oblivion indeed!

    Firefox warns of a security threat when I visit the site.

    You know it’s kinda like a lottery the more I read it lol! If the repo got super popular and had lots of traffic say.

    Am I the only one who's noticing that this "open chaos" project's most voted PRs are to add structure to the project (e.g., calculate +1/-1, etc.)?I guess people just desire a certain amount of structure to their chaos :)

    Reading through the comments, it’s remarkable how many of us have had the same idea at some pointBeautifully executed
  • alexpadula
    Sorry to be a party pooper I just don’t get the point.

    Twitch plays Github?
  • flyrain
    I guess this is one sign that coding is drifting to an art, given the LLM is invading.
  • kittikitti
    This is a very interesting experiment where I hope the metamorphosis is more like a butterfly than Kafka.
  • electrodisk
    confused, what is this and what’s going on exactly?
  • libertyit
    Genius.
