That's fair. It depends on the goal. I'm not trying to change careers. And I didn't get that sense from original poster. I'm mostly interested in prototyping or addressing niche productivity issues. But I feel I learn qu

What I took away from your post was not that you want to learn computer science but that you want to build things with software. If so, now is a really exciting time because it's never been easier for people without a CS background to

Thanks for the link! I wonder how this works. Is there just no practical impact of the "book value" being so far off the market price? Surely any exchange is done at the prevailing rates. > The market value of a gold bar depend

This is an important point. I hope they'll address this soon. I've just started tinkering with Code and took it for granted that I wouldn't lose the "conversation" when the terminal restarted. Maybe just ask it to s

Definitely slower loading and jankier scrolling on my phone.

Designer and vibe coder here... I also had trouble getting Claude to create an MCP server. What I finally realized was I could just point it at one of the Typescript demo repos from Anthropic. Then it easily cranked out what I was asking fo

Much better, thanks! I'd still like to see a more mobile-friendly comments link though. I sometimes scan those first to see if the article is worth reading.

Just happened to read Heidegger's Memorial Address this morning. Delivered to a general audience in 1955, it is shorter and more accessible. Certainly not as complex as his later works but related. > Yet it is not that the world is

Mobile responsiveness?

The author mentions it at the end, but continuing to experience long-form content like reading books and listening to multi-hour podcasts — particularly in other knowledge domains — should counteract this.

I've been using Claude Desktop with built-in File MCP to run operations on local files. Sometimes it will do things directly but usually it will write a Python script. For example: combine multiple.md files into one or organize photos

As much as I would like it to, I don't think fully remote is going to survive this. These problems are going to get worse and we'll naturally revert to doing things in person to feel more secure.

Same. Though this looks like the first EV I might actually consider.

I started out copying and pasting from Claude Pro. Then I hooked up MCP so it could edit files directly in my local repo. I set up this template with all the shadcn components pre-installed so you can prompt something like, "make a pro

Not using Magic Patterns but absolutely +1 this workflow. I'm a designer working across multiple teams and it's so fast and fluid to get react prototypes out of an LLM. I put together a vite project to drop the resulting typescrip

It's also loud because everyone is playing sound out of their device speakers, especially young parents who set up mini tablet theaters as soon as they sit down at the table. I don't understand why restaurants allow it. Why would

Mermaid.js.org links directly to Mermaid Chart, and there is a blurb on the org site that says, "Mermaid + Mermaid Chart... Mermaid Chart is a major supporter of the Mermaid project."

We did this with our kids, now college freshman and high school junior, and it was absolutely worth it. In middle school we established "screen break" from Friday night to Saturday afternoon. It was challenging at first but they c

Seems like some of the techniques described here could be part of a larger "accuracy-based commission" form of compensation (as opposed to what is apparently presented).

Guess what... Sometimes I need to take a left exit. And there will frequently be a bunch of clumping chumps doing 20 over in the left lane. So I get over when I can.

This is what I do with my Obsidian repo. Feels like best of both worlds to me. I have my files in open format in my repo. And I use Obsidian primarily for the editing experience. If I want to quickly capture a thought on my phone, I use the

I go to the gym regularly but I probably should put something like this contraption between me and my family size bag of peanut M&Ms.

One of my favorites that I return to regularly and am continually fascinated by is an ex-library book, Life at Home in the Twenty-First Century. It's an "enthno-archealogical" study of about 30 families in early 2000s Califor

One thing that stuck with me from the book Stroke of Insight (memoir of brain scientist who has and recovers from stroke) was how intently she prioritized sleep when everyone else kept trying to drag her out of bed. In a more mundane contex

Thanks for sharing! I love the idea and did something similar, but with Jekyll on GitHub Pages. I like that it's mobile-friendly but I can print off the PDF as well. https://github.com/pglevy/resume
