Had hoped to work on https://retrofit.sh this week between trips but my laptop screen died in CO and just got word it will take a week to fix after dropping it off in Roseville.
Here’s hoping the backup on my new SSD backup will restore. Unsurprisingly they have to wipe the disk to diagnose the screen.

retrofit — co-evolve source code and database schemas, safely
retrofit is the foundation under seismic changes to source code and database schema. Ship new features faster and refactor away schema debt, safely.

Things don’t always go well.
Often I toss out a whole day’s work.
Sometimes I’ll refactor, over time, from design A to design B, and then decide to refactor back to A, or something very much like A.
That’s not a problem: it’s a feature.

No, actually refactor, not rewrite 500 lines in one go.
Eventually it got there, by me repeatedly referencing Fowler’s book and insisting every step it pitches must be…

⚡ The core is a single native tool, rlm_query, that spawns a child Pi process with the same tools. The child can call rlm_query too — so the agent recursively decomposes a problem, delegates chunks to copies of itself, and combines the results.
🎯 One-shot or interactive: run ypi "Refactor the error handling in this repo", or bunx ypi without installing. Available via bun, npm, curl or as the minimal pi-recursive extension for plain Pi.

#AI fueled rewrites go, this one is an _excellent_ example to learn from! 😆

Refactor: Unified codebase for better performance by vishxrad · Pull Request #517 · thesysdev/openui
While researching ways to improve my coding skills, I read on a forum that "Assembly is the fastest language." Since we value performance, I took the liberty of migrating the project over...

I know everyone is about to log off for the long weekend, if they haven't already taken the week off.
But I thought I'd quickly share a little more about what I'm working on.
Please share!
