Contrary to the general opinion, I feel that AI has IMPROVED my cognitive skills. I find myself discovering solutions to problems I've always struggled with (without asking AI abou…

Natural language is fluid and ambiguous while code is rigid and deterministic. Spec-driven development appears to be the best of both worlds. But really, it is the worst of both. L…

Wow! I just wrote the article "Stop trivialising AI: it’s not your intern, colleague or compiler" today and shared on HN - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47274213 - but I tal…

Fair enough! Business and user perspectives are meta-data that explain the intent behind the code. I disagree with the point that intent should be the source of truth, though. Inte…

> You can argue that you can just ask the LLM to explain back and forth but it can still be too much. But then you'd get an explanation tailored to your specific perspective instea…

What do we gain by maintaining a high level view instead of asking an LLM to explain the code at a high level when required?

Code, as such, is a detailed, verifiable spec that a machine can execute. LLMs are already great at translating code to natural language and vice-versa. Why do we need a second, le…

Thanks for the feedback! I agree there needs to be visual indication for the knobs' min and max points. I'm thinking about how to do this without adding visual clutter.

Thank you! I just changed the knob control gesture/drag logic and it doesn't work like a vertical slider anymore.

Made the knob controls more intuitive now. Please check it out!

Thanks for the feedback! Click and scroll up/down to turn the knobs. I will fix this as it isn't an intuitive way to control knobs. EDIT: Done! Please disregard this comment.

Hello! AmbientCSS is a side project I started 5 years ago because I found the lack of realism in CSS shadows jarring. So, I tried to create a more realistic and consistent shadow s…

Exactly! LLMs' (or any Gen-AI) lack of lived-experience/emotions is their Achilles heel. The best human creators understand how to inspire emotions mainly because they can feel it …

There was a very specific purpose here - to build a web-based accelerometer game. If I were to compare this with playing, I would say this is more akin to playing with a special ki…

Thank you for the honest feedback! I'll stick to writing content by hand for future blog posts.

I misjudged the amount of dislike HN users have for AI generated writing. I have added a "meta" section explaining how the post itself was written by AI, directed by my own taste. …

I'm calling this "Vibe Discovery" — distinct from vibe coding because I didn't know the requirements upfront. Started with "make something with the accelerometer" and discovered th…
