There are some pdf libraries that can format inputs into pages with margins defined in some config file. But I had to ask Claude to make a script as there are so many parameters… Tcpdf or mpdf for PHP… fpdf or weasyprint for python.

I notice that phone calls are less frequent, and that people are writing emails and messages in chat instead of talking. So I guess, yeah, we might be lonely and chatting with robots. And maybe we'll even start to forget how to talk...

I meant “underrated” by the word “underdog”. Like we don’t randomness appreciate too much, don’t think about it. But life is full of randomness, like a strange attractor. We try to predict future… And in retrospect, we say that we did say t

You can vibe code chunks, but not whole repo. I have tried to do it and every LLM starts to hallucinate after 2-3 hours. And you have to know what you want to achieve. Coding with “a little help” is feasible.
