I actually stole the idea from a guy named Max Hawkins who made a Spotify Daily Random playlist. I made it to be just instrumental music since I wanted it for working. https://maxhawkins.me/

Almost all of the software I make in my free time is for my own use. My most used tool I have is a note taking web app that automatically saves markdown files to S3. The most important feature I added was a little button that would automati

Photoshop generative fill, perhaps? Or... just Photoshop a person wearing the hat. Or... just take a picture of someone wearing the hat.

I was able to get around Adobe's cancellation fees by switching my subscription to the cheapest subscription option they had, then cancelling that subscription (which, for whatever reason, didn't have cancellation fees most likely

Some stuff seems cool in the sense that you try it once and never use it again. Other stuff, like ChatGPT integration, seem like they'll produce more AI Slop and false information. It's always interesting to me to see just how man

Or if you really want to rewrite your back end, why not just use Express? It would be wildly quicker to rewrite than switching languages. That along with the article makes me question the competency of the company. They got customers, sure,

Yeah, this is a dumb insinuation. The author is conflating people who are motivated internally by making great contributions to society with autism. Many of the best artists and scientists aren't autistic, and perhaps are quite the opp

Same goes for programming projects. My most popular projects are always ones that were very quick to make. If I spend months making an app, it always seems like no one cares. If I spend a few days making an app, people will use it. Perhaps

I've used Hotwire for a few sites. I much prefer it to HTMX since it's significantly easier to implement. My No-React tech stack is Alpine.js, Hotwire, EJS, and Express. Works very nicely for simpler sites. Though for the majority

Cool. But how would this be advantageous over a traditional ORM like Prisma? I use Prisma and I like that I can define my tables in a simple file, and also use it with Express to add some middleware or auth or various backend things if I wa

It depends on how you operate as a person. It seems like you're already good at programming if you have 12 YOE. The important question to ask yourself is: Do I enjoy the _process_ of working on something or do I enjoy the _product_ of

To me it's not so much about drawing skills. Technical drawing ability is not as necessary as it once was. It's about aesthetic taste. You will end up with lots of art looking like the AI generated aesthetic. E.g. overly impressiv

One thing that is missing from this article is using an image as input to modify how the image looks. I always found random abstract generative art to feel a little meaningless. Once I added images as input and started modifying image pixel

Interesting. I was recently stuck trying to think of a new side project idea. I basically built all the stuff I wanted and now was in this territory of trying to find things to make. I spent some days messing around with various ideas. How

When everyone is individualized and alienated from each other, you wind up with a deep emptiness in a population looking for community and organization to fill the void. This is exactly the methodology Stalin and Hitler took to get people o

Another issue is books are too long. Especially non-fiction books. Book publishers know no one is going to buy a 50 page book, so there has to be filler and excessive detail to make a book long enough to be sellable. It ends up just being t

Also a good idea to stream large files instead of trying to directly serve the file as-is. For video you essentially have to stream the file in order for it to load on Safari.

To be fair, Reddit is actively trying to prevent bots. How do I know? I scrape Reddit threads directly via old.reddit.com URLs and even the most sophisticated scraping tools like BrightData, Undetected Playwright (and Puppeteer), and others

You seem a little aggressive here. Trying to go to a more primitive lifestyle now, in 2024, is largely futile. If it were, say, 500 years ago or 2000 years ago, "modern" life back then would have been simpler - and participating i

I'm not saying this as a direct 1:1 link between the two. I'm using AI as an example for advancing technology. And by the way, advanced technology like smartphones and social media and the internet are all basically required for m
