I include a rule in the initial PR prep that it runs. So there's a hard limit to the length of the comments and what type of comments it can write and they get flagged in the review. It also reads the comments and checks for consistenc

That's so interesting to me! I actually have a terrible memory for events and names so my answer is almost always - sort of. So I can visualize an apple, but if you say - remember that time we went apple picking with Greg? I might only

My mom has aphantasia and we were both shocked to discover it even exists. She saw something about it online and then started asking everyone in the family if they could picture an apple in their mind. We all said - yes of course, what are

I lived in an apt in Brooklyn for 5 years, a brownstone built in 1931, and I never saw a single roach (they also never raised the rent). 1. we kept it very clean 2. the owners/landlords lived in the building with their children Thank y

I actually ended up with pdf because I could brand it and my parents (who are in their 70s) understood it better than seeing a CSV. That was REALLY throwing them off. We went through rounds and rounds with the sharing. So instead they just

Oh man! I made an app for my family too. They have an antiques/book selling business on eBay so I made an app for them to actually keep track of things as they buy them . That was where their process was breaking down - When did we bu

My dad likes to joke around and his doctor uses some kind of transcription service. Time for fun! His doctor asked him about using drugs and he made a joke that was something like "I only use coke" - meaning coca-cola. Of course h

If the two are indistinguishable from an outsider's perspective how would you know which one to trust?

I totally agree - the example they give doesn't really need react OR backbone. You could just as easily show vanilla js as the 3rd example and wonder why you would ever even need a framework. One off it seems fine, but a huge backbone

"LLMs are very effective at locating and explaining things in complex code bases." YES. I do nothing BUT write code and tracking everything down in the code base is greatly simplified by using an LLM. This is just a new tool. I th

I'm getting really great results in a VERY old (very large) codebase by having discussion with the LLM (I'm using Claude code) and making detailed roadmaps for new features or converting old features to new more useable/moder

What about having a contribute button? I know this must be a lot of work and it's such a cool idea! If you had a way to contribute on the join page I would chip in for sure :) My husband is a writer and he uses newspapers.com to resear

When Claude says “Let’s try a different approach” I immediately hit escape and give it more detailed instructions or try and steer it to the approach I want. It still has the previous context and then can use that with the more specific ins

Same here. Recently the camera has started shaking really badly so I'm thinking of finally getting a replacement. I have other cameras though, so the phone camera is just for convenience. It's hard to bite the bullet on a new phon
