When I’m done, I’m probably going to make a blog post or two just talking through the automation I figured out so far. LLMs are amazing force multipliers.

I added the ability to import/export ROMs and finally added some of documentation.
...Plenty bugs left to fix
To help Londoners find their perfect home by filtering for proximity to parks, river, PoIs, commute time, etc.
The website is not optimized for mobile and customers have to pay to access the functional filters/properties.
Goal is to automate or reduce the grunt work oncall engineers have to do.

And I took my new quadcopter drone out and did some flying last night for the first time. As in, my first time flying a drone, ever. The results were... predictable. Let's just say, I bought a cheap (will wind up destroyed. In less than an hour I managed to crash it into fences, walls, bushes, cars, dumpsters, the ground, an armadillo, Elvis Presley, a 1974 AMC Gremlin, and Nickelback. Well, more or less.

It has 90% of the features that I wanted, and now I am working on what my users want.
I wanted a way to define new Arbitraries that's easier than working with .map(), .chain(), .oneOf(), and other combinators that require you to think in terms of sets. It has those combinators, but you can also write code to randomly generate one value at a time. It uses an approach to shrinking that's inspired by Hypothesis.
Along the way, I ended up adding a Domain subclass, which also does validation like Zod. Not sure where I'm going with that, but it's also useful for generating unique keys.
(The documentation isn't done and doesn't explain what's interesting about it. Caveat: it's Deno-only, and will probably stay that way unless someone wants to help.)
Writing and editing SQL queries on the phone can get tedious. Rather than just giving users a tiny textfield, I am exploring if there are better ways to build SQL queries on a touchscreen
