@async_error merging your pr is difficult, but once you start doing it you will enjoy doing it.

@jcubic @ChonkieAI reading codebase with help of medium blog grok wrote for me. im dumb so I'm using pen and paper

@async_error @ChonkieAI This doesn't look like a contribution to open source?

day 4/n until i get a remote job > started going through chunker/base.py > completed understanding src/chonkie/__init__.py

@harshit_py looks pretty cool

Startups are losing thousands to fake signups. → User signs up with tempmail.xyz → Gets free credits → Repeats with 100 new disposable emails → Your runway just got shorter I open-sourced a fix 🧵

reading codebases has been a great fear of mine since i never went beyond simple python scripts and vibe coded projects so im writing a bunch of blogs guiding myself on how to read oss codebasses starting with this chunking library called @ChonkieAI

@minhash yeeeeee damn.

@async_error 1000x faster is the goal — speed of light

it’s a bad day when ive only made some pre existing piece of software that everyone uses just about 20 times faster

@achalllll @ChonkieAI never stop my g!
