I love making Zines, but I don’t make enough of them. That might be a nice medium for something like this. I’ve also done some light-fast testing. Laser prints (both B&W and color) survive a long while in direct harsh sunlight left in t

I just got a Honda Hybrid. It doesn’t phone home or do updates automatically, as far as I can tell, and I love this.

Is this an effective CTA? What types of negative side-effects would there be from an “open source” application that was free, open, and restricted entirely by license? Rather than “we make no warranty” the license says “you may not use”. I’

I use my own text editor too. Nobody else seems to get value from it. I’m still surprised by the value we get from home grown solutions.

My main point is that we need to expertly drive these tools. I forgot the trivial instruction and ended up with something that more closely resembles modern software instead of what I personally value. AI still requires our expertise to gui

Cool project. I keep wanting to build a large "lite brite" style display for my window. I keep getting stopped even though I have a lot of the tools necessary, like this laser engraver. You just gave me an idea about an extremely

Can you share the prompts?

I used this prompt and it suggested a model I already have installed and one other. I'm not sure if it's the "newest" answer. > What is the best local LLM that I could run on this computer? I have Ollama (and prefer i

That is a really interesting game. It's making me think twice about real estate investment. :P

The app is a local-first budgeting tool — one HTML file, no backend, no accounts, no tracking. That's the whole point. But it also means there's no server to check a license, no account to suspend, and no technical way to prevent

Yup, me too. In fact, I might consider simple copyright for something like a board game. Granted, I’ve never registered an actual copyright either. I suppose I should try it out.

Balance Buckets helps you quickly answer the question: “How much is safe to spend right now?” You setup a few buckets then drop in your current balance. It immediately shows you what’s left. It’s local-first (just localStorage), no bank log

Love it. I try to follow an absolutely minimal process. Even more minimal than this. I even built my own “second brain” tool to make my own writing absolutely frictionless. A dump of all files in one folder is the only thing that keeps me s

I recently had an entire meal at Chili’s comped by the manager, because I waited an hour for food. I guess their system flagged it, or they just noticed, because I didn’t complain. I was hanging with my grandson. I tipped on the full amount

I also cut my own hair, but sometimes I’m lazy and just hit up the Barber shop. She charges me $15! I tip +$25 and it’s still a cheap haircut. My haircut has to be one of the simplest around, but 9 out of 10 stylists will leave me fixing it

Ive been working on Peen, a CLI that lets local Ollama models call tools effectively. It’s quite amateur, but I’ve been surprised how spending a few hours on prompting, and code to handle responses, can improve the outputs of small local mo

So, say you want this. How do you do it with Claude Code?

by codazoda 8mo ago
That is my experience from a year ago but I no longer feel that way. I write a few instructions, guide an agent to create a plan, and rarely touch the code myself. If I don’t like something, I ask the agent to fix it.
