Same. Personal ORM essentially with a sqlite DB that sinks to a home server. Totally useful without an agent at all, but exposes basically all functionality via tools that have access limited for private information and the like. My favorit

When I log into LinkedIn, it seems like a vast majority of the posts are there to farm credibility and build a personal brand. Pre LLMs, I found it all to be pretty gross. Post LLMs, my reaction to being on the receiving end of that is to f

What about other machine learning related skills? Does this wave of LLM mean less need for that kind of work? I would think not, but when I started to look into OCR options recently - assuming that obviously a dedicated tool would do a bett

Love it! Every class of app needs this treatment. No ads, no install, and no fluff. Tools are better when the motivation for them is to be helpful.

I have a box full of film gear and development equipment because, one day, I want to hang a picture of my kids on the wall that I _made_. My photo, on film I developed, printed manually by my hand, hung in a frame I built. I'll get to

Only a small anecdote, but I'm 2 projects into telling Claude to "make it look like Google podcasts" and getting satisfactory results. Still smells like llm in parts, but overall it is not screaming low effort.

I was hanging out on a slack community of developers where I would commonly respond to questions and chat on the channel for Python. Someone there had a friend with AWS costs flying through the roof and he needed some help from somebody wh

Using my real name severely limits what I can post online. This is helpful with my desire to limit my use of social media.

The best part of GOOG411 was that they would connect you to the phone number, free of charge, across borders. List a business with a Google voice number and you can call in, check messages, and _dial out_ from Google voice. Free internation

Thanks for the response! Another note: in the email, it's totally not clear what I'm "approving" which is not really a huge issue. But it might be nice to include the username in the email.

This is super neat! Here are some of the things I noticed: My site link of > Avi Perl's personal site! Shows as > Avi Perl's personal site! On the edit page, there's no link to my homepage where the links are shown.

On the topic of structured logs, can anyone point me towards where I might learn more about what people have learned over time? I'm new to the world of querying through my logs, but I can already see a benefit to logging with JSON... T

An easy way to do this that I've used is to cache web requests. This way, I can run the part of the code that gets the data again with say a modification to grab data from additional urls, and I'm not unnecessarily rerunning my ex

I've been doing more or less this with a small pocket size notebook since October. I admit that I initially fell for the romance of the idea and made an impulse purchase, but started to use them a couple of weeks after I bought them. I

Making something _actually useful_. Creating a to-do app teaches me how to use tools, creating a web scraper that sent me an email when clothing my wife missed the chance to buy was back in stock filled me with confidence.

I've particularly enjoyed saving loads of time by having it convert API responses to typescript classes. And once I was done, asking it to write up some functions for the way they interact worked out very well. In general, I've ma

I have an app that takes 15 minutes to deploy. We use GitHub actions to run the process which includes a build of a next.js site, building containers, creating assets in AWS, installing Python dependencies, and publishing the whole thing.
