I talked with Nick about this a little bit a few weeks ago, #148 looked like it hit a wall due to how weirdly different slash commands are from responding to messages. There's still a larger change we could make for performance reasons if we need it (we won't need it) where we could set up a web server, and configure Discord to emit web hooks for commands instead of using a persistent network connection.
The meat of this change is in
scripts/deploy-commands.ts, which fetches the commands and compares the remote list with its local list. This requires that we update the deployment script for every new command we add, but that should be a pretty small amount — command arguments allow us to do most things we are currently, so for example we can do 1 command instead of like 15 for our saved responses.A follow up task that should probably be done but will work for now is, these are "guild commands", not "global commands". Guild commands update immediately but are presumably worse for performance — I think that because this is a "pet bot" and not used generically in dozens of servers, we won't feel any pain because of that.
