Another great use case is piping database output (e.g. psql) directly to HTML. HTML tables can be opened in a browser or directly in Excel. So all you need for a complete BI tool is a database and the command line.

You wouldn't just blindly implement what the LLM generates. You would use it more as an efficient way to go through all the necessary docs. From there you'd sanity check the recommendations and _then_ implement a solution, apply

Particularly in the AI assisted era, I'm not sure I understand why you wouldn't just roll your own auth. Learn it once, use it everywhere. Best practices are well documented and now incredibly accessible via your LLM of choice.

Shopify "backing it" means less to me than the maintainers themselves. The Remix maintainers are straight shooters and have been maintaining open source consistently for over a decade now. I also just like their API and design de

They made an announcement that they are merging the projects a little while back: https://remix.run/blog/merging-remix-and-react-router . Obviously things could change, but I think RR v7 will effectively be the next it

My bet is on Remix (which will eventually just be React Router). I think it's just the right amount of abstraction over native web functionality with a nice, simple API that doesn't deviate too much from web standards. I also th

Not yet. But in the analytics case, suppose you could build a tool that collected data on your own infrastructure, allowed you to write plain SQL against a PostgreSQL database to get whatever analytics data you need, had an AI-driven text-

Interesting. I think you're on to something here. I fully agree that a combination of spreadsheets and SQL are the ideal tools for data analysis -- not a SaaS GUI. > Niching down, if you work in operations at a <50 person start

The workflow I'm trending towards is a design system (e.g. Radix UI) for the bulk of the styling, inline styles for most customizations (shouldn't be too many), and then plain CSS with classes on occasion (e.g. I have an override

As others have said, LLMs still require engineers to produce quality output. LLMs do, however, make those engineers that use them much more productive. If this trend continues, I could see a scenario where an individual engineer could bui

Oh, ok, the test and operations case makes sense. As for your questions: 1. It's basic networking tasks such as running a network drop, assigning IPs, making sure the PLCs are on the right subnet, etc. In many cases the PLCs aren&#x2

This is great. I find I'm using Figma in place of other tools more and more. I could see using Figma instead of Word / Google docs pretty soon as well.

One of the frequently raised concerns is that soon we will be drowning in AI generated blog posts, articles, presentations and emails, and most of this AI generated content will be meaningless noise. I wonder if the opposite may be true. W

Ah, ok. So the "ve" was just a placeholder for the value in the "amount" column for each entry. How does this handle the fact that credits increase the value of some accounts (e.g. sales, equity) but decrease the value

I find it a bit odd that we always seem to ignore a very important cost when it comes to producing goods: the cost to (ultimately) dispose of them. Disposing of goods certainly isn't free, and it's a cost that both producers an
