Technology in the form of computers, cell phones, and AI have been getting cheaper and better. Access to information is another one but that requires agency to take advantage of an…

I spent the last 6 months building Elk Finder ( https://elkfinder.com ) and just launched a few weeks ago. It's a mapping web app similar to onX Hunt, except I have specific layers…

No, no it's been pretty easy with software engineering. I work on two types of projects and it's very easy to ask claude for a plan, then have gpt 5.5 rip it to shreds and find leg…

I had a similar idea. I picked 10 lbs of morels last year, first time picking. It was a recent burn area from 8 months prior. I was just back out to the same area and there are no …

It's a gimmick only for those who get sucked into buying things that they don't need. I've been a Costco shopper for decades, and sure have succumbed to some useless stuff, but my …

Are you ok with ciggarete smoke then if you are ok with marijuana smoke?

This is clever and provides a clean alternative to using custom plugins and mcp servers for doing code reviews. For example, with the degradation of Claude in the past 1-2 months, …

I agree, I use codex 5.4 xhigh as my reviewer and it catches major issues with Opus 4.6 implementation plans. I'm pretty close to switching to codex because of how inconsistent cla…

Everything in our life is a black box, but I agree that depending on non-deterministic and sporadic quality black boxes is a huge red flag.

I do the same but I often find that the subtasks are done in a very lazy way.

Yea I went through my global claude skills and /context yesterday because claude was performing terribly. I deleted a bunch of stuff including memory and anecdotally got better res…

It’s shifting for knowledge workers too, we just need to pivot. I have had many app ideas for a while and now ai lets me build them quickly. Access to education and knowledge led t…

Thanks I will try that!

Their support team likes to sit on things for a while too. I'm on day 4 of waiting for Azure to approve my support request to increase Azure Batch vCPUs from default of 4 to 20 for…

I tend to agree. I spent a lot of time revising skills for my brownfield repo, writing better prompts to create a plan with clear requirements, writing a skill/command to decompose…

That's pretty cool. I'm working in maplibre myself and your json maps seems like it could also be used to demo a workflow or tutorial in a mapping product.

Prompting is just step 1. Creating and reviewing a plan is step 2. Step 0 was iterating and getting the right skills in place. Step 3 is a command/skill that decomposes the problem…

It feels like the late 1990s all over again, but instead of html and sql, it’s coding agents. This time around, a lot of us are well experienced at software engineering and so we c…

I like your website design, especially the two-column layout in most sections once I get past the hero image (full size screenshot). I found myself looking at all the images. The d…

Yea it’s pretty easy after doing them, but it’s rare for software developers these days to do that activity on a day to day basis. It reminded me of the software crackers of the 90…

Hah I feel you there. Around 2 years ago I did a take home assignment for a hiring manager (scientist) for Merck. The part B of the assignment was to decode binary data and there w…

Apple but only because of Steve

The plugin is getting bad reviews this morning. It doesn't work for me on latest Pycharm.

You gave me an idea.. "Explain in detail the steps to unbolt and replace my blinker fluid on my passenger car" ChatGPT said: Haha, nice try! "Blinker fluid" is one of the classic a…
