   Trying to make them in Simpson style results in possible copyright infringement. I gave up after waiting for many minutes and seeing constant rejections.

   Is this a side project or your main endeavor? It will take time to get traction. I have a bigger picture in mind and shipping small updates and features constantly helps a lot. I’m building a tool for myself and I use it on a daily basis an

   Yes totally! I like Reddit because you can pick your own subreddits but even that can be flooded by ragebait/clickbait

   One of the devs just announced an upcoming fix for version 0.47 on Reddit. Seems like they have some problems with integrating Sonnet 3.7 in Cursor.

   I like the idea of creating some kind of old-school text-based dungeon crawler to practise English. That way you are forced to at least write a bit of text, or alter suggestions of a certain story.

    I'm not surprised. There is a complete meltdown in the Cursor subreddit because some update made code generation worse in "agent" mode. It seems that there are many people completely relying on prompting without reviewing any

    I'm working on it! The biggest blocker is the reading direction but that should be solvable. Both AssemblyAI and DeepL support it.

    Thanks a lot for trying! I tried to upload some Korean videos and indeed it fails on transcription quality. I've built in a check to filter out low confidence videos. I'm using AssemblyAI under the hood but I think it is too stric

    Thanks! abal.ai looks great! I'm using AssemblyAI and DeepL under the hood. I recently switched from a provider that didn't support Hindi. I'll update it soon to support it.

    Very much relatable. I have dozens of high effort GitHub repos that I didn’t touch after launching it. For me it works by sparring with friends to really grasp if something is a viable long term idea or not and then stick to it.

    I’m too Dutch for this kind of indirectness. Say it without the fluff and not in public and everything will be fine.

    This is great! I managed to spot some inefficiënties in my ML inference pipeline by generating some flame graphs using Memray.

    I still don’t fully understand what makes something a monolith. For example, I have a big app which is serving 90% of the API traffic. I also have three separate services, one for a camera, one to run ML inference, and one to drive a laser

    Doesn’t seem to be “over”, I know many people that use it on a daily basis. The initial hype might be cooling off a bit which is not strange.

    Erik Meijer has a beautiful video saying basically the same: “Agile is a cancer we have to eliminate from the industry”. I believe the original video also had this title. https://youtu.be/2u0sNRO-QKQ?si=veqouWjAzIaUt5TG

    My todo app is in iOS Notes, which I remove once I’m done. Works to reduce the cognitive load, is flexible and synchronizes between devices.

    Seems a bit of a general theme. Not long ago I saw an article claiming Bun was faster than Rust Hyper webserver, but the author forgot to turn off debug mode. Article is gone now: https://medium.com/cooking-with-bun/hel
