We had originally planned to go all-in on passkeys for ONCE/Campfire, and we built the early authentication system entirely around that. It was not a simple setup! Handling passkeys properly is surprisingly complicated on the backend, but we got it done. Unfortunately, the user experience kinda sucked, so we ended u...

The other key booster over traditional RAG is that it indexes in vast amounts of dimensions as it's tightly integrated into git. Not only is it understanding the code based on the commit history, but also the static state of the files checked into git. As a result, it can find the right file(s) like a needle in a ha...
