Hah :) In my opinion / experience, AI copy is a generally more cumbersome to read and process. So I would assume a company at Series B stage would have a human (with marketing guidelines) go over the language used on a one-pager to ann

I'm always hesitant to assert something is definitely AI copy because everyone's tone of voice is different. I'm also starting to wonder how much real, human-made copy is mimicking AI-created copy that has been filling mark

A lot of the copy on this page feels like the kind of copy an AI would produce. But I’m assuming, surely, Zed writes their own copy so I don’t want to accuse them of doing that. Marketing aside, this is the kind of thing (advancements in VC

I wanted a scalable, reliable way to run website capture (capturing full MHTML archives) for design research and component research at Kenobi[0]. So I made Breamer , a way to automate this and host everything on Cloudflare using Workers an

Great to hear, thank you for sharing! Am considering getting one, but holding out until September because they haven't refreshed that particular device in a couple of years... I wasn't intending on a budget as large as the Paper P

When I was learning to code at college, by myself (I did a Business degree), I bought a book on iOS development[0]. This book mandated that you type all the examples out line-by-line. I thought the idea was a pretty silly one, but I stuck w

Thank you, jullls -- onboarding is something we're working on making more integrated like that!

Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion! Chris (who makes the game with me) really wants audio too so perhaps this will be the impetus we needed :)

Neat! I think we'll be seeing more and more use-cases for creating tools (with AI and powered by AI) to visualise codebases now that we're spending less time "in" them. I made a project a while back that lets you use Cla

As per sibling comment, I think my "old school" wording is getting misconstrued here. I did mean 20th-century "old school", i.e. typewriters... Is the Late Middle Ages considered "old school"? :) Agreed that in

Sure... But overstriking takes more time and effort, which is why "--" was the convention.

by sarreph 3mo ago
Good point, but I think it's a little more complex than that. To my knowledge (and what I meant by "old school"), it was common to type a "--" dash on typewriters[0] because most of them lacked en- and em-dashes, wh

I too find it a pity that the em-dash has been co-opted by AI. I use a double-hyphen ("--", the old school way of writing it), but fear that this will also become used by AI seeking a higher form of 'sophistication' as y

That's actually the wikipedia article that inspired me to name a repo-convention checker I made called Pokayoke[0]. Do find it fascinating (as with Andon) how many cool Japanese loan-words there are for process refinement. [0] - https
