alt Hacker NewsI can't tell if this is sarcasm but in case its not, being capable of doing something and having the desire and resources to do it are not the same thing

It's a management tool for multiple superintelligent agents, right? Just tell one of them to fork herdr so VC can't make it worse on purpose.
Not sarcasm at all. I think you might overestimate the time and effort needed for this. When you maintain a _personal_ fork with no users except yourself, you only ever need to change something when you encounter a bug or need a new feature.
E.g. I have personal forks of mosh and cmux, each took maybe 1 hour of my time total?
I found this article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49156111 resonating with me, except I obviously don't do stuff like "nightly cron to sync with main", I just never touch the code unless it breaks or I want a new feature.
