   I love it. Almost as much as I do org mode.

   Claude is very good and I believe they have enough to take them to profitability. Just over the last week or so, I’ve spent ~$30 beyond their monthly plan fee and I love it.

    This is such a fun class!

    Perhaps. But there was a confluence of things that naturally fit with Django (and Python) that worked well for me.

    This makes me happy. I wouldn’t have a career if it weren’t for Django.

    I understand this in theory but this is so much accidental complexity in running some standard web service.

    I just came to say this. I think it means one must setup an account and login to see project details? But that sounds like a lot.

    I read this as “Failure of Theory for Material Science and Engineering” and had to laugh. So much of this field involves experimentation and heuristics. As real life is really complicated to model.

    And thank you. (I come from an old generation of people trained in linear algebra and differential geometry, well before the current ML era so I am holding onto my "get off my lawn" grumpiness.)

    Sorry. I was just making an exasperated statement that roughly boils down to “what is wrong with mainstream notation and who is going to learn or care about this completely different thing?”
