Forking blogs

by Venkatesh Rao · quoted from v1

Here’s a simple challenge that I think might be a fun way to get a feel for pins and forks. Write a pithy aphorism with a challenge to people to make a snowclone of it, and pin at least 1 version. Then people can fork the pin, edit suitably, and pin their own version, allowing more forks and pins.

So I guess ChatGPT didn’t pick up on the forking function when I had it scan the spec to make me a client. 

I will 100% do this once my Codex allowance resets and I can implement forking in Blynger. Forking is not a thing in my client yet. 

Me two days ago: Blynger is basically in a useable state.

Me this morning: I have a list of like 10 features to add, a dozen tweaks and a whole new UI I want to make.

Software really is a whole thing.
