not so.dev, the terminal where you ask Uncle Dev
A no-sign-up developer question box styled like a shell prompt, with answers attributed to Mistral AI and a human-reading premise.

Field notes
The interface borrows shell conventions—guest@notso:~$, directory-like labels, and a CONFESSIONS.LOG marked “0 bytes”—to make a question form feel like a small shared machine. The page says submissions are read by a person and answers are provided by Mistral AI, but the extract contains no completed answer to verify that workflow. It also links to unacceptable.dev, described as the place for confessions.
