I guess I've never really used parallel for anything that was bound by the dispatch speed of parallel itself. I've always use parallel for running stuff like ffmpeg in a folder of 200+ videos, and the speed in which parallel decides to queue up the jobs is going to be very thoroughly eaten by the cost of ffmpeg itself.

Still, worth a shot.

I have to ask, was this vibe-coded though? I ask because I see multiple em dashes in your description here, and a lot of no X, no Y... notation that Codex seems to be fond of.

ETA: Not vibe coded, I see stuff from four years ago...my mistake!

I asked a few LLM's for tips on writing the HN post. The post is my own words, but their style may have rubbed off on me a little bit. I'm admittedly better at the technical aspects than I am at "writing good catchy posts that dont turn into 20 pages of technical writing", so...

Given the expertise at display and the 10yr on/off journey in building Forkrun, I'm sure there's folks like me who'd be glad to read those 20 pages!

Thanks for sharing your work.

Yeah, sorry; I'm a little on-edge because of all the low-effort LLM stuff I've seen in Show HN.

FWIW, I actually did play with Forkrun now, and it seems pretty neat!
