No it's not related, sadly Byuu passed away several years ago.

Sadly, the AI writing is so terribly distracting.

So the long and short of it seems to be an advertisement for the site itself?

I think this should've been a show HN as your affiliation with the site is not obvious from the outset.

Good luck with your project, but I suspect it will take more than a Claude subscription and a dream to replace what the article claims has been lost.

Looks like they merged it back in, but it's a shame it was taken out in the first place.

I don't fully get the negativity here. This seems like a middle ground between quick'n'dirty bash script and a well-crafted Ansible playbook.

Half the time if you want to do something quick'n'dirty in Ansible playbooks you need to use shell anyway..

I participated in a hackathon recently where my deployment process was just a bash script doing scp/ssh to a remote server and it feels like Scotty would fit well to that kind of use-case.

Looks similar to sem/weave

Though, despite the claims, I am not sure if these are ready for prime-time yet. I have noticed some rather concerning merge "resolutions".

> yt-dlp is running the entire YouTube JS+DOM environment

IIRC they maintain a minimal execution environment that is able to run just the JS needed to pass a few checks but this breaks too often enough that they're planning to make Node.js or another JS interpreter a hard requirement (possibly already happened).

Pretty much - yt-dlp currently requires Deno to "solve" youtube challenges.

* there may well be other JS interpreters that are accepted, can be used - but solving JS challenges is required for much, if not all, YT content.

PMs can now also ship their half-baked requirements documents even faster thanks to the help of AI.

I noted something similar a few weeks ago. Companies are finally putting APIs in front of things that should have had APIs for years!

Pretty sure I saw this one a couple of weeks back, or something very similar to it..

Edit: Turns out was https://github.com/steipete/mcporter noted elsewhere in the thread, but mcp-cli looks like a very similar thing.

I believe you're thinking of JScript, they're not quite the same thing.
