I think pi-mono ( https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono ) is pretty close. The extensibility is wonderful and a much better fit for how I work compared to Claude Code.

I’m in a similar boat. Many artists I listen to on Bandcamp offer cassettes(!) at a fair price and will charge a comparable price for the digital. However, I’ve seen some artists c…

yet again I reached for a dependency when Postgres is enough

I’m debating Typesense vs. Meilisearch for a project. My use case isn’t particularly complex so either fits. Curious if anyone has any horror stories about either

I am still working on tweaking how I work and design with Claude to hopefully unlock a level of output that I’m happy with. Admittedly, part of it is my own desire for code that lo…

I am coming back to this. I’ve been using Claude pretty hard at work and for personal projects, but the longer I do it, the more disappointed I become with the quality of output fo…

At first I thought becoming “10x” meant outputting 10x as much code. Now that I’m using Claude more as an expensive rubber duck, I’m hoping that I spend more time defining the fund…

Why look to the past when you can rediscover it from “first principles?” /s

My personal experience was that of a decrease in productivity until I spent significant time with it. Managing configurations, prompting it the right way, asking other models for c…

What’s the best way to stay informed about the typescript version?

Neat! I am going to check this out. I recently built an MCP system similar to this called Nonlinear (so clever) that uses SQLite for storage that lives outside the repo. Honestly t…

Claude recommended I use Tilt for setting up a new project at work. I wasn’t sure if it was worth it…is it pretty easy to set up a debugger? Not only do I have to adopt it, but I h…

Yeah I find it pretty funny that so much of us (myself included) threw out strict documentation practices because “the code should be self documenting!” Now I want as much of it as…

If you haven’t, adding in strict(er) linting rules is an easy win. Enforcing documentation for public methods is a great one imo. The more you can do to tell the AI what you want v…

Create a file like conventions.md in the root of your repository with specific commands for common tasks: running tests, linters, formatters, adding packages Set this as part of th…

I’ve been floating around a similar set of ideas and it’s been very fun (if not all that useful yet) to build Did you try taking it one step further where a “recruiter” has to hire…

I built a web app for looping specific sections of YouTube videos as a way to practice songs. https://proloops.jprokay.com/ Slowtube was a huge inspiration for me (I’ve spent many …

Do you have any recommendations on how to get started with Keycloak or just RTFM?

Yeah that was what I was afraid of. I thought I saw in the caddy code that they did a sort on file name, but I must have misread it. Thanks for responding! Edit: after looking more…

I went all in on using Caddy for rendering my website and blog, but I’m encountering a frustrating issue that I’m not sure how to solve. The feed on my site uses the listFiles feat…

For a long time I used an app called Slowtube to practice guitar. I recently built my own version with features I always wanted like the ability to save sections of songs for futur…

I recently set up a conventions.md file for Aider along with configuring sonnet 3.7 with reasoning. It really was another leap forward for me with AI. Using it for exploratory anal…

We recently completed an ADU project in California and figuring out the financing was particularly difficult. Add on additional requirements like mandatory solar, fees on top of fe…

Many of the founders I know (who started companies in the past 3 years) are primarily hiring in LATAM too.
