- When I used to play Screeps[1], a MMO strategy game where you programmed to control your units and buildings, a group of us setup a player that was managed in this exact way called Quorum[2].
If anyone wants to run their own project in this way I open sourced the code to do so under the GitConsensus[3] project. There's a Github App (which may not still work, but if there's interest I'll restart it) and a "run it yourself" python library and CLI you can run from Github Actions[4].

- I don't get the title. Do I understand correctly this is basically "Twitch plays Github" without Twitch?
- I'd expect even more chaos, let an LLM build the features and people vote.

- Cool social experiment. It's interesting how narrow the scope of all top voted PRs are: change this or that detail in the voting (daily, count down votes etc), or make it more efficient (rust).
I wonder if this has the potential to build a "community" that will take this into a completely different direction, or if it will neatly stay within the initial boundaries.
- Is it a kind of computer-assisted Nomic [0]?

- Really interesting. I wonder if something good will come out of it. It feels like twitch plays pomemon.
- Excited to see how this plays out, I made something similar a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9351286

I wonder if we get something productive by end of 2026 from this repo. Who knows, maybe we solve AGI

- The end product is... just the website?
I feel like I'm missing something.

- Are guardrails, CI/CD, to make code at least compile-able and require minimal quality standards also possible to change via PR or managed somewhere else? With this possibility, it might went into oblivion indeed!

- You know it’s kinda like a lottery the more I read it lol! If the repo got super popular and had lots of traffic say.

- Am I the only one who's noticing that this "open chaos" project's most voted PRs are to add structure to the project (e.g., calculate +1/-1, etc.)?
I guess people just desire a certain amount of structure to their chaos :)
- Reading through the comments, it’s remarkable how many of us have had the same idea at some point
Beautifully executed

- Sorry to be a party pooper I just don’t get the point.
- Twitch plays Github?
- I guess this is one sign that coding is drifting to an art, given the LLM is invading.
