I’m building a tool that lets me organize sheet music, rehearsals, and share with groups I play with. Also building a Golang middleware to record analytics (saved into a local duck…

For composition I use musescore. In my case, I’m not actually arranging or writing music - I’m just taking existing music PDFs, separating pages, and creating new PDFs along with p…

Everything for typst was generated via LLM. The template itself takes json as input and then uses the typst template language to render. It works very very well.

This is awesome! I’ve been excited about the new bundle feature for months. I use typst to format sheet music. Given a folder of PDFs, I currently have a script that generates a bo…

I’m building a little tool to organize my sheet music, let me share it, organize rehearsals, and manage performances.

This is really cool! I built something very similar only I replicated the AWS sqs protocol instead. https://github.com/poundifdef/smoothmq

Side project to generate good-looking programs for recitals and concerts: https://concert-programs.projects.jaygoel.com For people who use Fora for travel, a tool that uses AI to c…

Is there a feasible way to run this in a different language? (Go, in my case?)

Just a side project to let you create PDFs for physical programs for music recitals. You can print them out at home or take them to a print shop!

I just built a little tool that takes a Fora itinerary as input and creates a google calendar (.ics) feed as output. https://itinerary.projects.jaygoel.com/

I work at Ramp and have always been on the “luddite” side of AI code tools. I use them but usually I’m not that impressed and a curmudgeon when I see folks ask Claude to debug some…

In the same vein, here are some goodies: - Jon Skeet facts: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9134/jon-skeet-fact... - Chuck Norris facts: http://www.betterprogramming.com/c…

I have just now learned about exe.dev and it looks awesome. I really hate that modern development means not having persistent disk. I’m glad there are new options coming out which …

Could you clarify what this actually is? Would I think of this as an EC2 instance which automatically and quickly scales to zero, with pricing only for resources consumed? (CPU and…

I wrote an article on how to model a ledger with a DB. https://www.jaygoel.com/posts/building-a-scalable-accounting... It addresses how to model dr/cr in a DB with positive and neg…

It depends on the “normal balance” of the account. For Asset and Expense accounts, yes. For Liabilities, Equity, and Revenue it is the opposite.

Isn’t this the nature of all software abstractions? They often introduce a less performant way of executing a task at the tradeoff of user convenience?

I’m building a netsuite competitor (having spent a lot of my career on accounting and erp implementations.) The trick (one trick) is to allow LLMs to provide an audit/accounting/co…

The source code itself. If an LLM can read the source of the library you’re trying to use - or examples of others using the library in GitHub, or official documentation - then ther…
