1052 pts on HN. I'd say they are pretty good at marketing actually. While they may not initially done well they are certainly riding this wave.

For blogging I just don't use an LLM at all. I just use a spelling/grammar checker. I get to sound like me even if that is imperfect. For docs I have used an LLM for the convenience of having them kept up to date.

Ok for example my strategy is buy Moderna. That's it. Backtest that over the last year. Agreed on 2nd point. Especially with no real hypothesis i.e. just throw AI at it.

The problem is the bots may have some of the backtest data already in their training.

Unless you are very short on space, keep all 10. Because 50-100% of them will randomly cease to work.

cat is only for concatenation so it won't combine e.g. XML files, images, zip files etc. unless those files can just be splatted together.

I haven't checked the 12 factors for a while but feel proud to have worked on systems probably for a long old while where most or all have applied. To the point I'd naturally do these things without consciously thinking. I think t

That has to be the most absurd but technically correct thing I have read.

TUIs allow you to have infinitely many running in tmux and also work over ssh so there is that.

Thanks! And absolutely there is a big tidy up and code review on the horizon for this repo. Data storage changed direction a few times as I heavily used this and found things that seemed fine in theory didn't work out in practice. A bi

Hi. As you are deeply thinking about these sorts of things, I want to see what you think of my https://useorganizer.com which turns the todo idea on its head a bit by being timeline oriented.

That is an amazing idea. I can imagine this getting popular. It could be used for faster local dev loops and porting GHA to other servers. I imagine for data/compute residency, cost, performance, vm types etc.

All these words are too broad is why. It allows someone to say something without really knowing what they mean. But also they may know what they mean, so you are not sure! Device is a handy one though you often want to say "computer, l

Yes I agree. Content is an empty word, and can mean anything, and sort of means nothing. I get why large corporations would want to use the term as they do everything in bulk and need a general term, but for a solo writer, youtuber, etc, be

I was experimenting and found deepseek-v4-flash and found it cheap (way cheap compared to sota models) and perfectly good at tool calling. I did a post on it https://martincapodici.com/2026/07/18/weekly-ai-lea

This is awesome. Wish I had the idea first. I see this as a fun learning and experimental tool. For a while I have wanted to make a web page where you can do service load balancing and queuing simulations so this would be a great basis for

I don't feel like static typing (the kind you use in Go, C#, Java etc) is a church, it is just a tool. I mean I always want to use it, because it is useful. So that might be like being in the church of say adding an electric motor to m

Static typing is very useful and time saving. I can rename something, knowing my IDE can propogate the change. I can call a function and know what it expects, not just "a thing, hope they added a comment so I know what type/shape
