That's so interesting to me! I actually have a terrible memory for events and names so my answer is almost always - sort of. So I can visualize an apple, but if you say - remember …

My mom has aphantasia and we were both shocked to discover it even exists. She saw something about it online and then started asking everyone in the family if they could picture an…

I lived in an apt in Brooklyn for 5 years, a brownstone built in 1931, and I never saw a single roach (they also never raised the rent). 1. we kept it very clean 2. the owners/land…

I've been doing the same thing lately and I definitely feel like stubbing out the high level architecture at the beginning makes a difference. The codebase I'm in now has very part…

There's a DVD box set that has almost all of the original music!

Evidently it's from a true story. Luckily not actually thrown from a helicopter! https://classictvhistory.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/turkeys-aw... CLARKE BROWN: The turkey drop was a…

like wet sacks of cement...

I actually ended up with pdf because I could brand it and my parents (who are in their 70s) understood it better than seeing a CSV. That was REALLY throwing them off. We went throu…

Oh man! I made an app for my family too. They have an antiques/book selling business on eBay so I made an app for them to actually keep track of things as they buy them . That was …

Yeah my parents thought it was funny and I was like... yeah not actually. You need to get that fixed.

My dad likes to joke around and his doctor uses some kind of transcription service. Time for fun! His doctor asked him about using drugs and he made a joke that was something like …

Don't worry I'm crying enough for both of us.

If the two are indistinguishable from an outsider's perspective how would you know which one to trust?

I totally agree - the example they give doesn't really need react OR backbone. You could just as easily show vanilla js as the 3rd example and wonder why you would ever even need a…

"LLMs are very effective at locating and explaining things in complex code bases." YES. I do nothing BUT write code and tracking everything down in the code base is greatly simplif…

I'm getting really great results in a VERY old (very large) codebase by having discussion with the LLM (I'm using Claude code) and making detailed roadmaps for new features or conv…

You might like this book then The Secret Lives of Colours, https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/552503/the-secret-l... It's really beautiful if you're into colors!

That reminds me of the Ricky Jay article in the New Yorker. What an amazing guy! https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1993/04/05/ricky-jay-magi... It so worth the read and there's no…

What about having a contribute button? I know this must be a lot of work and it's such a cool idea! If you had a way to contribute on the join page I would chip in for sure :) My h…

When Claude says “Let’s try a different approach” I immediately hit escape and give it more detailed instructions or try and steer it to the approach I want. It still has the previ…

Same here. Recently the camera has started shaking really badly so I'm thinking of finally getting a replacement. I have other cameras though, so the phone camera is just for conve…

If you wanted to read more on the same/expanded topic, I thought this book was pretty good. Ghost Hunters: William James and the Search for Scientific Proof of Life After Death, by…

It was frontend. I did ok with some heavy studying, but I'm definitely more UI focused on a day to day basis. The problems I had to figure out during the interview were nothing at …

Ok, completely different take! I also interviewed there last spring, but I thought it was super positive, even though I didn't get the job. I had to push myself really hard to get …
