Is there anything about this project that seems LLM-generated? I've found that LLMs are particularly bad at writing Zig because the language evolves quickly, so LLMs that are trained on Zig code from two years ago will write code that

I considered buying a Model 3 but the door handles were the dealbreaker for me. The standard door handles don't work if the vehicle has a loss of power (such as after a collision). In the front, there's a manual release in the fro

Github Pages' "soft" bandwidth limit is 100 MB. I typically use 300-500 GB per month at Netlify, so I'm over Github's limit. I actually don't even want a free option. I want to pay a vendor that cares about kee

That's pretty cool! I didn't know about that. For anyone curious, the fee is $240/yr. I used Mercury when I had an LLC and had a great experience. It feels like they're the only bank that's not 10 years behind in te
