More anecdotes from me on the input-method to wrist-problems correlation: I weight train regularly. Lots of forearm tension. I noticed one day that it always hurt more when I was scrolling (using an original Apple Magic Mouse). Brutal repet

Maybe this has long been obvious to everyone but me, but having cloned a few repositories of ChatGPT API web UIs, the API itself really is dead simple: send your prompt and then with every subsequent include the entire conversation history.

GP's advice generally applies when talking about integrating with a third party API to provide data as a "input" to your business. The things you listed (deployment, hosting, monitoring...) are all after-the-fact concerns, an

I spent a lot of time playing in bands and doing the home recording thing 10-15 years ago. Had a bunch of rack mount gear and dreamt of building out a mobile recording rig using a DJ case[1] like my dad had (for DJing weddings). Eventually

I find myself asking why this is so common. I guess this is welcome because it's based on something other than React? My last employer (or the company that acquired them, rather) had a team of ~8 working on a design system/compone

I spent the last 6 years building an Ionic app for “enterprise”. The still-not-native UX is the main reason why it’s not more popular, in my opinion. In our case, our users had little say in their respective organizations’ decisions to buy
