Hi HN!
Last year, we shared marimo [1], an open-source reactive notebook for Python with support for execution through WebAssembly [2].
We wanted to share something new: you can now run marimo and Jupyter notebooks directly from GitHub in a Wasm-powered, codespace-like environment.

I don't yet have children but having grown up during the rise of social media, it's clear to me that the way it is used now by young children and teens has transformed even from when I was their age (approx 10 years ago). It worries me for when I myself have to manage their exposure to things like this.

For teams actively using AI coding assistants (Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.), I'm noticing a frustrating pattern: the more complex your codebase, the more time developers spend preventing AI from breaking things.
Some common scenarios I keep running into:
* AI suggests code that completely ignores existing patterns
* It recreates components we already have
* It modifies core architecture without understanding implications
* It forgets critical context from previous conversations
