I use Codex extensively, but mostly as a sounding board for architectural questions. I'll also have it do a lot of boilerplate work, but damn, I don't get these people creating multiple Claude or Codex accounts to burn tokens all

I thought Laravel would've been the one to scoop them up, but I'm glad they landed with Shopify. Adam's a solid dude and what him and his team have done to commoditize web design is to be lauded. To think it started as a side

I remember reading it in 2006 or so to better understand pathfinding algorithms for my data structures and algorithms class.

Absolutely agree. I could easily afford to hire a lawn crew to cut my lawn, but I enjoy doing it every weekend or two for similar reasons. I have a little under half an acre to mow, but I still enjoy doing it manually with a push mower. Get

I suppose I'm spoiled by the Symfony framework which has a robust Secrets Component [0]. It allows you to generate a public/private key for each environment: test, dev, and prod (by default). The 'prod' private key can&#

Not the OP, nor do I have any relationship to them, but I've had to build or maintain plenty of these in my time and sure, an LLM can knock out a basic one easily, but there are so many edge cases that need to be accounted for that it

I have absolutely no relationship with OpenAI but maybe give it some time before drawing such a conclusion.

I build software for contractors (plumbers, electricians, HVAC repair, etc) and they're some of the fastest adopters of these systems. I believe YC has even invested in a few. Regarding the AI receptionists, from the calls I've li

Yes! Just implemented these the other day for a long running process that I didn't want to lock a specific row for.

The Qwen3 600M and 4B embedding models are near state of the art and aren't too computationally intensive.

I think the opposite is true. Sure, it's technically impressive, but users have been trained for decades at this point to understand how a basic marketing page should look and this isn't it. These kinds of sites are best left as p

I have a deep love of A* because it was the first complex algorithm I fully understood. In my first data structures and algorithms in college (early 2000's), we had to pick an algorithm to study, code, and write a paper on and I picked

How are you running the Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B model [0]? Running locally using llama.cpp, I asked it to briefly describe what happened in China during the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest and it responded with "I'm unable to engage in di

It's funny, I've been working with HTML since 1998, and I got 36 (though I do think <font> should've been allowed). I thought I'd do a lot better, but I guess you can accomplish a lot with only a few tags, CSS, a

I'm ignorant of what this is: is this the "seed" prompt, so to speak? The prompt the ChatGPT engineers have given itself so it knows what it is and how to respond?

I instantly purchased this. I really love Tailwind and the component/UI libraries they sell. I'm shocked that a CSS library/framework is so divisive. If you don't like it, don't use it! I'm also surprised that

I paid for it because I love what Adam and team are doing with Tailwind. It's been incredibly beneficial to use as a backend engineer, and the amount of money paid is trivial to the benefits it provides.
