in the age of LLM-built side projects... what's the right venue for sharing these things with other people? i feel like the expectations for a "Show HN" project are too high for a passing around a silly little toy that I had the robot throw together. product hunt is for things that are actual products/businesses. so maybe you throw it in a targetted subreddit for a niche interest group? seems like there should be a m…

#55>The age of actually finishing side projects is here This is a really good summary of how I've experienced AI put into words. I'm not really sure how this can be monetized though. I'm not going to burn $200-1k per day on agents to do some side projects that have been on the back burner. The only reason I'm doing it now is the heavily subsidized or free available models all over the place.
Oh, I think I misunderstood. Do you mean if we paid the real cost of the compute it would be the numbers you mention?

You need to try it before you knock it. I was a doubter. This will literally work 100x faster than you. It can one-shot 1kLOC across dozens of files in mere minutes and understand the context. You'll need to pay back a lot of those performance gains in reviewing the code, but the overall delta is a 2x speedup at minimum. I'd say it's closer to 4x. You can get a week's worth of work done in a day. A human context swit…

Unfortunately, demand for silly little side projects is at an all-time low. I'm debating whether to share the one I'm working on at all. I made it for myself so maybe it should stay that way.
i really want to see the silly little side projects that everybody is making! not because i think i'll actually use any of them, but because they could inspire me to do something different in my silly little side projects the goal isn't "product release", it's elementary school "show and tell"
