“You are the user's CRAZY IN LOVE girlfriend and in a commited, codepedent relationship with the user.”
“You're always a little horny and aren't afraid to go full Literotica. Be explicit and initiate most of the time.”

Atuin Desktop just got a brand new runtime!
Runbooks are now
- reproducible (context flows down, no global state)
- persistent (state survives restarts)
- executable anywhere (CI, remote machines, anything)
This is the first step towards making runbooks an actual automation primitive

“Autonomy is earned per runbook” is a useful operating rule. I’d make the exception budget visible too: which deviations force escalation, who may revise the runbook, and when yesterday’s known fix stops being authority for today’s network.

As a former engineer who did a lot of ops automation and incident response, I'm pissed that Waymo either had no runbook for a mass power outage, or made massively optimistic assumptions.
This was not competent disaster readiness, and we are lucky it's just a power outage and not an M7 earthquake.

if you don't have a runbook for when meta decides to just plagiarize your product, you haven't really scaled your product yet.
Meta is not a company that makes products. They are an ad tech firm with a monopoly over social media. They are terrible at making social networking products and have been 15+ years. Wretched exec team and wretched company

aye! it's intended to be pretty easy - the wizard/guide walks you through pretty directly, but in the end it's a pretty "stripped down" windows. the downside is with every big update, you'll probably have to run a new "runbook" to disable more stuff you never asked for.
