This week I spoke at @localfirstconf.com in Berlin. A lot of the audience had Claude Code open, and still applauded every time when a speaker would say something LLM-critical on stage. I feel the same. So I wrote it down: www.theocharis.dev/blog/llm-cri...

eggry@eggry.bsky.social · 2mo ago사실 난 AI 기업들이 학습에 쓰인 데이터에 저작권료 안 낼 거면 모델들은 당연히 오픈소스화 되야 한다고 생각함. 니들부터 지적재산 존중 안 했는데 그 산물은 왜 존중 받아야 함? AI로 생성한 컨텐츠는 지적재산권을 인정받지 못 한다는 법적 해석도 있는데 모델들도 마찬가지로 취급되야 한다고 봄.

If it's simple parseArgs, if it's more complex optique by @hongminhee.org
What do you use these days to build simple CLI tools in Node? Is sade still the go-to, or do you go plain node:util parseArgs() and some manual wrangling? I have a CLI tool that has 3-4 subcommands with 1-2 options each. Wonder how many dependecies I'm willing to accept here. Maybe @e18e.dev knows?
