haha no worries, setting up email is always a pain :) I'd be up for a meet, do you have a preferred email or messaging app?

When you say "grammar focused", what exactly are you imagining? Research shows that it's very rare that teaching grammar transfers to any kind of actual language proficiency, so curious how you intend to solve that

cool concept! I sent some feedback via the support email on the site but sadly it bounced :(

Good idea, I like that it's minimalist and straight-to-the point (as opposed to e.g. exercism with its million features). Nit: I think that when an exercise was just attempted, it should not come up immediately again (soon, yes, but w&

here is a random example to showcase how this can make sense (I'm not too familiar with the actual stacks in questions): - stack A needs lots of tedious, not-quite boilerplate not-quite-copy-paste work whenever you implement something,

Cool tool :) If you're looking for feedback: It's easy to get started (pleasant that you are not forcing a login), but not so easy to understand what to actually do — what's the main flow? Which buttons am I supposed to press

Pretty interesting yeah if it's no effort, please share, otherwise I reckon I'll rebuild it myself some time soon :)

Interesting! I've been thinking about how you'd best teach sentence patterns for a long time, happy someone is making progress on it. I'm a bit too beginner to effectively use the app, sadly, but it's quite an interestin

what is your hook into such a sprint; how do you get started? Do you just prompt "so uh teach me something about linux admin" and go from there? I think this has been my biggest hurdle with LLM-based learning, even though I think

What does this achieve over, say, git? This is hardly a zero-trust situation, is it?

Instead of having that one god-author who has to keep maintaining everything, I think a better option may be to have the whole comprehensively community-maintained. Which opens up the question: How do you open source structured data and mai

Can you elaborate what right now is in the app that goes beyond Zoom? Always some effort to get started with a new communication app, and even more so to convince others to do so. From the landing page, this seems very much...zoom.

Very neat! Nothing to add right now, except thanks for making this :)

Variations of this are a common talking point in the self-help world, and while it's a powerful antidote against "I'm sure some day this giant thing will suddenly be easy and I'll just do it", it's not a silver

It's a double standard because it's apples and oranges. Code is an abstract way of soldering cables in the correct way so the machine does a thing. Art eludes definition while asking questions about what it means to be human.

Is anyone else detecting a phase shift in LLM criticism? Of course you could always find opinion pieces, blogs and nerdy forum comments that disliked AI; but it appears to me that hate for AI gen content is now hitting mainstream contexts,

If you have two modes of spending your time, one being work that you only do because you are paid for it, and the other being feeding into an addiction, the conversations you should be having are not about where to use AI.

I heard a very similar sentiment expressed as "everything is not good enough to be useful until it suddenly is". I find it a powerful mental model precisely because it is not a statement of success rate or survival rate: Yes ,

I was there earlier last year, and it was none too impressive. Pretty shoddy brick walls (just straight blocks), crumbling at many places, constructed possibly along ancient foundations or maybe not, that you sort of walk through. Interesti

Interesting idea. Does it include any adaptive learning/spaced repetition mechanism? (I don't have an ios device, so I can't test)

I think there really, really has to be a demo (at least screenshot mocks). How will you collect the data (about me)? How much? How much more individual will this be compared to just subscribing to my city's newspaper (or a trade magazi

It's not really about that. If I hire you to make software for me, I don't really want software; I want a problem to go away, a money stream built, a client to be happy. Of course, that probably requires you to build software, unl

I don't know. Career plans aside, to me, making software is a means to an end. There is no inherent value to producing software, as there may be in producing car tires or bananas. The best software is no software. And then who is the b
