:shrugging emoji: I remember long ago, when I first met a computer person in college and he told me about PCs vs UNIX, I asked him, "why don't they make it run on a PC?"

Running an open model locally on your own machine, and having it augment-train itself using your own sessions as the training input.

Author states, “Single developer projects can build to the caliber and consistency of large development teams.” When I, as a single person, can produce a project in one month that would have taken a team of four people three months to produ

Agree. Opus 4.8 could make nice little toy and demo apps. This app had a lot of surfaces and pipeline, Postgres, vector search, S3 -- couldn't handle that. Fable 5 is still a lot of work and you have to check it, but it really does per

First day of work, immediately Ultracode refactor the entire codebase, do a massive 800k line force push to main, git comment, "Hey guys! First day, first commit -- fixed codebase with Claude. Hope this works!"

I've found Fable 5 to be so much better than 4.8. For building a full stack custom CRM and media pipeline tool with video conversion, transcription, and indexing. Supabase, AWS, Meili, NextJS, GCS - lots of surfaces and planes. 4.8 bas

The high-level structures of writing are prose, poetry, and drama. Cross cutting them is the purpose, these are not mutex: exposition, narrative, description, conviction. There's also straight rambling nonsense.

Were you using Fable 5?

Ha, how many years spent reading it as re-flog and not ref-log. Flog the git!

Most developers just have a linear view of git, which is fine. Should I really care that origins are just named nodes on combined graphs? Like, I just want to check in my code before I have to merge someone else's. Zero rebases since F

Know the rules, fight the rules, I guess. More readable, but I’ve since regressed as tooling comes into play. Maybe it’s a good way to still use ems and differentiate from AI.

I am personally a fan of space padded em-dash. Visually, semantically, it makes sense on all modern planes. There's an argument for line-break parsing. Of course I recommend do-not-adopt, think Roman-cart-wheel-axle-width reasons.

Author failed to explain the dash universe and their semantic assignments. - em dash: adjoining thought (Hey, so — <declaration>) - en dash: expresses a range (1–100) - dash: compounds word-parts (Sarbanes-Oxley) I'd also like to

Is this faster than diskx inventory or other gui tools?

Not manually cleansing data and building apps with AI to do the parts you can't or don't want to do is a massive lift. I can do things that were far beyond my reach — suddenly. Almost all at once. "Now you can discover you su

Ironically, the text color choice on the website reflects exactly this kind of thinking.

Next level is to reach out directly and ask them if you can just sponsor directly with said micropayment ($20/month). SUrprisingly, most say no. Your special kindness is not worth $20/month to even moderately successful creators.

I pay YouTube Premium and get no ads there. It's totally worth it for me. I get that they aren't performing less tracking on me, and they've labeled me as "will pay subscriptions for stuff". But I get so much out of

Yah you get this inner platform effect where designers start unwittingly creating their own version of css using Figma and it gets really bespoke really fast.

I was making a new brand file in Figma and was about to define all the variables and aliases, paths, all that. Took one look at it and just made the 8 colors I needed and went on with the design.

Aren't special and general relativity the grand leviathans of intellectual achievement? Pure thought unlocking the nature of existence.

TLDR: practice. If you have sufficient natural talent xor will, you will eventually go past the canon of available material and begin to transcribe your own. Then there are those who move to creation, either immediately or somewhere in the
