This ended up running for 86.5 hours uninterrupted. 109 PRs, closing 107 issues. It finally ran aground because Claude ran a script as a detached shell process instead of a tracked background task, so it wasn’t notified when it finished. From what I can tell, it stayed on track for the whole run.

IF YOU THINK YOU CANNOT AFFORD OPUS 5.5 please try using Opus 5.5 and see. Compared even to Opus 5 the new model appears to *sip* tokens. I can't believe how slowly my usage is ticking up.

I’ve had a single Opus 5.5 loop running for more than 48 straight hours now. It uses parallel workers and does multiple adversarial review passes per issue. I have it write linear project updates every 12 hours. It has shipped 60 PRs so far, and filed 108 issues, 69 (nice) of which are fixed.

We originally wrote Gazette as a performance benchmark. It was our first opportunity to see how fast compiled rue programs actually ran. The obvious next step was to use it for a real production use case: the rue website itself.

@typescriptlang.org Socket is flagging typescript 7.0.2 as having “unstable ownership” for the native dependencies, looks like they all switched publishers very recently. I assume that’s fine, but “microsoft1es” isn’t the most obviously legit account. Can y’all confirm it’s an intentional switch?

This is such a great idea. If I lived in NYC, I’d strongly consider applying. Hopefully this spurs more cities (and states) to bring more tech stuff in-house. Also: they should open source what they build! I want to see a golden age of “Public Software”.

This is a truly fascinating technical document. I’ve never been a bun user, so I have no stake in the outcome, but it’s an incredible precedent. If this really ”works” and bun is as stable (or more stable) than it had been previously, we’re really through the looking glass. bun.com/blog/bun-in-...
