Note: the messages that are displayed during diagram generation seem to describe the current progress - but actually they are generic/comedic messages that run in an endless loop.

Also, I tried this with https://github.com/rails/rails and it never finished.

Are any of them kicking the llama’s ass while reticulating spines?
It’s mostly re-reticulating splines that I find annoying. By that I mean: running it all in a loop, endlessly - showing neither a result nor an error message.

But you’re right, reticulating splines and similar generic/comedic messages do have a long tradition.

Getting useful feedback from remote servers via webui is my least fave.
A simple timeout would already be an improvement. Or some generic information about how long is the process supposed to take.
