ThyForce

For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is.

Abstract

ThyForce is a long running personal software generation and maintenance infrastructure geared towards assimilating engineering acumen in an accelerated manner.

I’m going for a healthy mix of being pragmatic and principled when exploring and integrating different engineering paradigms and patterns into this code base.

The seeding incentives of the current repository structure (polylith and tech stack choices (hy, python)) are (inexhaustive list):

  • iteration speed (pragmatism of python + meta-linguistic (lispy) freedom of hy)
  • build smaller composable utilities over monoliths (unix philosophy): the polylith idea enables easier composition and packaging of those granular utilities
  • Super user native : prefer text io streams and api first approaches over UIs - this also accelerates agents; they display decent super user tendencies in the right ecosystems
