Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Google ZX – A tool for writing better scripts
I’m partial to Sindre Sorhus’ execa, this document outlines the differences:

The Bun Shell
Yeah, or over https://github.com/sindresorhus/execa?
And given the existence of those npm packages, is there any aspect of Bun Shell that required it to be built into the Bun runtime instead of published to npm?
For something which works across all JS runtimes (Deno, Node) and achieves basically the same, check out the popular JS library Execa[1]. Works like a charm!

How to run DB migrations in CICD Pipeline
Hello, this is an interesting problem. At https://stacktape.com (where we're creating a developer-friendly abstraction of AWS), we're recommending 2 options: - use a "deployment script" (basically a custom-resource lambda function that runs during the CloudFormation deployment). You can install prisma into it, and then execute the migration command from the lambda function using something like execa, if you're using Javascript/Typescript. You can easily do this with Stacktape anytime. - use a bastion (EC2) instance (deployed to the the VPC where your RDS db is). The cheapest instances cost ~4.5$/month, so it shoudln't be too costly. You can also securely connect to it using EC2 instance connect, that leverages IAM to grant permissions to connect to it. (this is something we're currently implementing as Stacktape, and will be ready in ~2 weeks).

Testing in ReScript
For FE, it’s usually Cypress or Playwright; for BE, it’s to run a server and start sending requests; for CLI, I like the tool called execa.

Getting vim ex command output without a TTY?
Essentially when I run this from my shell I get a listing of keymaps configured for vim. However, when I run it from a program without a PTY or TTY (e.g., via Rust's Command or Node's execa) I get an exit code of 0 and no output.

Devin, the First AI Software Engineer
Good question.
I expect that we're moving into a phase of AIs talking to AIs, and initially it'll be wasteful (because it'll be mostly English), but eventually, they'll derive their own language and seamlessly upgrade protocols when they determine they're talking to an AI. No clue how that will come about or what that language will look like, but honestly, it's kind of exciting.
Really interesting to think about how they might handle context, as well. Even though we have much bigger context windows (and they'll only get larger), context management is still a resource-management issue, which we'll probably continue to refine, as well. Imagine different strategies for managing both what is brought into the context of each request, as well as what form it could take (level of detail, additional references or commentary on it, etc). Things could get really unreadable even in English, and still be very interpretable for an LLM.
W.r.t. the graph-oriented interfaces, are you thinking something like Node-RED [1]? I'm seeing more and more people mention having LLMs produce non-text or structured outputs, like JSON, UI, and other things. Easy to imagine an LLM that wires together various open-source platforms, on-demand. Something like Node-RED for pipelines/functions, some UI tools for visualization/interactivity, other platforms for messaging, etc...

Pipe Dreams: The life and times of Yahoo Pipes
I skipped to chapter 9 in the article ("Clogged"), and it looked like Pipes failed because it didn't have a large enough team or a well-defined mission. As a result they couldn't offer a super robust product that would lure in enterprise users. "You could not purchase some number of guaranteed-to-work Pipes calls per month" is the quote from the article.
The reason I think that interesting is because that's the model these days for everything from AI tokens to Monday.com seats. It makes me feel like Pipes was before its time.
That said I've been collecting different "business glue" products that are similar to Pipes. To me, like you say, they aren't as interesting, exciting and intuitive as Pipes was, but maybe it just takes a little more digging. I tried to focus on open source tools but some aren't.

n8n.io - A powerful workflow automation tool
I believe Node-RED (https://nodered.org/) the way to go. It's just an NPM package to install and you can run it how ever you wish (even on Windows). It has a friendly and helpful community with even the main developers tirelessly answering even beginner level questions. In fact the community forum its THE friendliest forum I've ever been a member of by a large margin. Node-RED's development is supported by the JS Foundation and it's completely free and open source. It's widely used in the industrial automation industry and even integrated by some PLC manufacturers such as Siemens.

Loops and conditional branching (IF then else) in ComfyUI?
Does anyone know if their are plans to implement something like this (or if there are already custom nodes out there). I'd like to experiment with things like looping and incrementing values (like a for loop) for a Ksampler for example. It's only an example though, so I am not looking for a ksampler specific solution; just a generic way to have a variable (e.g. Seed value), run some nodes that use that value, increment the value, and then loop back to the beginning until some sort of condition is met. Node-Red (an event driven node based programming language) has this functionality so it could defintely work in a node based environment such as ComfyUI (see here).
