Show HN: Wolverine: Give your Python scripts regenerative healing abilities

[biobootloader]

https://github.com/biobootloader/wolverine

Run your scripts with Wolverine and when they crash, GPT-4 edits them and explains what went wrong. Even if you have many bugs it will repeatedly rerun until it's fixed.

That seems… dangerous, to say the least

[jasfi → plonq]

You're not suggesting that you won't put this immediately into Production are you?

[quickthrower2 → jasfi]

Or test even!

[jszymborski]

It's all fun and games until you get a subprocess.run(["rm", "/", "-rf"]) snuck in there that you fail to notice.

[paulddraper → jszymborski]

1. Definitely don't run it as root.

2. Obv run in sandbox/container.

[biobootloader → jszymborski]

haha yes it did feel a bit wild just letting this run on my machine!

I wouldn't recommend running it on a script that's supposed to delete files

A slight improvement on fuckit.py

Should not be confused with Jeremy D Miller's "Wolverine" Message Bus software

ON ERROR GOTO NEXT, 2023 edition

[coconuthacker42]

so we are just going to build the set up for the next terminator movie in real life and this time skynet self heals??

[8n4vidtmkvmk → coconuthacker42]

didn't T1000 self-heal?

[TigerTeamX]

Oh my god! That looks so much fun and so dangerous at the same time.

[shapefrog]

It didnt pick up the bug in the else of the calculate function, presumably it is only running along the path that the script is running based on the inputs.

[biobootloader → shapefrog]

it will sometimes fix other bugs, but yeah the focus is on ones that caused the crash or are obvious

[salawat → biobootloader]

If they are so obvious, why didn't you just do it yourself the first time? Instead of yeeting large portions of your codebase at a 3rd-party web service?

[doutunlined]

Crashes are the easiest bugs to self-fix.

[biobootloader → doutunlined]

agreed! but it'd be nice to not have to jump back to the editor to fix a minor crash and then go rerun

A factory that makes hammers shouldn't always be responsible for a hobbyist smashing their thumb, sound risk management is required by the user
