- tedivmWhen 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/
- lucb1eI don't get the title. Do I understand correctly this is basically "Twitch plays Github" without Twitch?
- DinuxI'd expect even more chaos, let an LLM build the features and people vote.
- esquire_900Cool 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.
- bji9jhffIs it a kind of computer-assisted Nomic [0]?0: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nomic
- sighansenReally interesting. I wonder if something good will come out of it. It feels like twitch plays pomemon.
- strangescriptThis is cool, but once a week seems a little slow
- mappumExcited to see how this plays out, I made something similar a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9351286
- anishgupta> 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
- fourtharkThe end product is... just the website?I feel like I'm missing something.
- polyominoThey should automate reading hacker news comments and generating PRs to address them
- fullstackwifeShould votes get invalidated after major change in the ongoing PR?
- BinaryIgorAre 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!
- SubiculumCodeFirefox warns of a security threat when I visit the site.
- alexpadulaYou 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.
- stingraycharlesAm 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 :)
- noncomlReading through the comments, it’s remarkable how many of us have had the same idea at some pointBeautifully executed
- alexpadulaSorry to be a party pooper I just don’t get the point.
- fwipsyTwitch plays Github?
- flyrainI guess this is one sign that coding is drifting to an art, given the LLM is invading.
- kittikittiThis is a very interesting experiment where I hope the metamorphosis is more like a butterfly than Kafka.
- electrodiskconfused, what is this and what’s going on exactly?
