This is great! I like the idea, excited to test it on on a project.

Also, massive props for MIT licensing it.

My lord, I just don't agree at all with this article. The author parrots his source, who seems to think the entirety of the problem is "engineering culture".

It is absolutely not. That assertion - seemingly the crux of the article, if you take the perspective of the primary source - is total nonsense. There are definitely issues in engineering culture, and some good ones are mentioned. But the actual, and most material problem, is in the business culture - not paying employees their actual market value, consistently, and then balking at those employees when adjustments are asked for.

I've been using https://github.com/alixaxel/ArrestDB for a while, which is kind of a "no frills instant API" over MySQL so I'm interested in this. But man, from a lone indie developers perspective, the pricing seems kind of steep. It probably does make a lot more sense for mid to large orgs though, so props on that.

This is really cool. Just getting deep in to phantomjs myself, I'm sure this will help a bit :)

this is awesome! Thank you for sharing this, very cool to see cool engines like this.

I've personally done simple experiments in the past like this video of running Eliza on turntable FM:

But engines like this get me excited to do so much more!
