HTML first, minimal JS, not using any frameworks unless absolutely justified is already part of my prompts to LLMs when I build stuff for myself. I’m not a frontend developer, and have not kept up to date with the ton of frameworks. That HT

I’m using Claude with a $100/month subscription. I’m playing around with using Opus as the Architect, Sonnet as the implementer/engineer and Deepseek-pro as the deep reviewer, and tester. It’s been quite good as I expected. If my

As unlikely it is to happen at scale, as a thought process - what would happen if people start selling those index funds in a mad rush? Just drives the transaction volume because those with that new money will just buy something else in the

It certainly is true that many SaaS subscriptions can be replaced with custom written(supercharged by AI) tools. The key question however remains “Who are you going to call when something goes wrong?” Or “who is going to maintain this softw

It will be an interesting vector for competition to attract customers.. when you search on {Claude, ChatGPT, whatever}, you get results based on what the model evaluated, and not based on advertisers who paid the most.. I thought Google wou

I tried to use Zulip as _the_ interface for my personal AI assistant because its topic based memory model fits nicely for a personal assistant. But, the iOS app was barely useful to use daily. It lacked even basic features like the ability

The part that makes ipadOS feels like a toy is Apple’s iron grip in “App Store only” app delivery. The thing has so much power, but to do anything useful, you gotta play by Apple’s rules. All that dream of quirky, useful, innovative ipadOS

I’m building HobbyBoard - A private(self-hosted) visual library(A Pinterest alternative). Mostly for myself to use for my hobby. Sharing with everyone because I find it genuinely useful. Yes, it is coded with assistance of LLMs, but I care

+1 to amplify the voice that hates a subscription to a taskbar. If it was €15 one time I would’ve instantly bought it.

I mean it is a business after all, trying to make money.. I must say, the new smart bricks with all sorts of sensors(color, gyro, distance etc) triggers the inner child in me. I can’t wait to get them for my kiddo and teach him how that mag

On these lines… it has been on my “to be vibe-coded” list to make an extremely minimal node-exporter(the metrics collector for Prometheus) in rust (support only Linux, gather extremely minimal set of metrics) that uses tightly controlled co

If this makes people develop stuff under the assumption that the user only has 8 GB of memory, I am happy for where we are going :-)

I mean, wouldn’t an even slightest clever adversary do just that? Launch a bunch of decoys(party balloons, drones, whatever) amidst one they actually want to actually use as an attack vector? Would the pentagon just play an expensive pew p

I dont. I use this as my coding harness (replacement of gemini-cli/claudecode etc). I dont want to sandbox it because I expect it to be used only for coding on projects. I dont want to over complicate it. I am building my own assistant

A few things. I intentionally clone the repo and build it locally for my use and use it as my-omp.. this way, I can make oh-my-pi make customisations like skills, tools, anything and yet retain the ability to do a git pull from upstream wit

To me, the magic is around interactions with personal info where they are - iMessages, e-mails, etc. I still am wart to open up like this, but it certainly is not as simple as Claude code and cron task. The “you can already do this via rsyn

I've been thinking about this very thing the last few days. "secretary in my Mac" to be specific. An ever running daemon that uses an LLM model for smarts, but pretty much do as many dumb things deterministically as possible.

Using a coding agent over days on a personal project. It has made me think 1. These llms are smart and dumb at the same time. They make a phenomenal contribution in such a short time and also do a really dumb change that no one asked for. T

It is always a trade off of fighting spam versus actually communicating. Do I want this person to easily write to me without a lot of effort? Or do I pay the cognitive cost for my audience for the slight chance of win against spammers? I c

I had my phase of having a fancy shell with all bells and whistles. I’ve now settled with the default terminal so that 1. It is fast, 2. Whereever I work, I have the same experience.
