Great idea!

Thank you!

I realized that many seasoned developers do not yet grasp the power and productivity gains that tools like Cursor can not only provide to them, but ESPECIALLY to those that have a lot of experience and broad expertise. Therefore, I‘m working on a mid- to longform blog post that details how precisely the competencies that senior developers and tech leads already have are the key to fully harness the potential of these…

Interesting: I would love to read this article when it is published.

Feedback more than welcome!

A website that provides transparency into the new/used car market in Australia: https://carvalue.app/ The goal is to allow anyone to know how much any car is worth at a given age/mileage, and eventually help people make better purchasing decisions. Be warned: It's still a very buggy prototype at this stage and the data confidence for all but the most popular models is low!

I use CarGurus in the US to find used cars since you can very effectively filter on features and lifespan (age/mileage). Worth thinking about - used-car buyers might be after a specific year-range/model or only after a body type and set of features.

Me and a friend of mine are designing a HAB (high altitude balloon) payload meant to go on Hack Club's Apex: https://apex.hackclub.com . It's designed to measure how altitude, temperature, and much more affect photosynthesis, and in turn, chlorophyll fluorescence in algae. We learned a while back that when you shine blue light on chlorophyll, it fluoresces red, and it's really quite a cool phenomena. We're designing…

Can you share more info on the LoRa hardware you've chosen and why?

We'll be using one of Adafruit's LoRa Bonnets mainly for easy of use because all you have to do it connect the headers! https://www.adafruit.com/product/4074

I recently made the leap from product management to coding, with a lot of help from GPT-4 (it basically taught me how to code). I’ve been obsessed with LLM workflows and kept running into the same pain: constant context resets, tool-switching, and token limits that kill flow mid-task.

So I built Slate — an AI-powered workspace that supports long-context reasoning (up to 1M tokens), persistent memory, and lets you work with multiple models (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc.) in a Notion-like interface.

It’s still early, but live. If anyone here experiments with long-context LLM use cases or AI tooling, I’d love your feedback — and I’m currently giving away credits to try the Gemini models because I’ve got $300 worth that expire in 48 hours. No catch, just want it used and tested.

First time building and launching something on my own — excited but also a bit overwhelmed. Appreciate any thoughts!
