Still a few great ones hanging around, like WBER in Rochester: https://wber.org/

I suppose that's also a good point!

Interestingly LLMs are extremely bad at chess position _images_. I have to imagine if you give it positions in text it'd be pretty great but when I was learning chess and pasting images of positions in for analysis I couldn't beli

I'm coming back to Django after a decade of experience with it post-0.96 and having moved to Next.js a few years ago. Going from 1,700 dependencies to 65 total with Django + Wagtail + HTMX.

If you build a house from scratch but you didn't mill the lumber, did you build it from scratch? If you make a pizza from scratch but you used canned sauce was it from scratch? What if you used store bought dough? What if you made the

Agree with pretty much everything you wrote here, I guess with the addendum that LLMs can be a part of the learning experience you're describing. It's as easy as telling the LLM "don't write a single line of code nor com

"I mostly don't look at the crap coming out." This is pretty much my point. I use LLMs to code _and_ to learn. I read everything that comes out. Half of it is wrong or incomplete. The other half saved me a bunch of time and t

The latter.

by nicksergeant 6mo ago
I feel I've upskilled in so many directions (not just "ability to prompt LLMs") since going all in on LLM coding. So many tools, techniques, systems, and new areas of research I'd never have had the time to fully learn i

Ah, thanks! Looks like that was long enough ago that my submission didn't auto-redirect me to the existing conversation (which was what I was trying to do, haha).

I wouldn't let an LLM touch my business's books with a 10 foot pole.

by nicksergeant 9mo ago
Yeah I think I have the original, and reading this again seems like these new ones are more "touch sensitive". It's a neat idea if they can nail the haptics.

Pretty neat. I have the Clicks keyboard and I just wish the keys weren't so stiff. Too hard to type on, sadly.

I don't know. I would argue that driving experience and reliability are still very much going to be things in the electric car market. I'm an EV9 owner and we have issues w/ the suspension making it feel sloppy over some bump

by nicksergeant 9mo ago
Yep. I certainly wanted an R1S, but ended up in an EV9 due to CarPlay plus huge lease incentives. No regrets, and will probably get another after this lease is up.

Meanwhile, the only thing people really want from Rivian is CarPlay / Android Auto support, lol.

It's funny you mention that because the first thing I thought when viewing this page was "is this a loading state? why is everything grey?".

Oh I just pipe the diff into the Claude prompt, so it's only the one call.

by nicksergeant 11mo ago
Neat project. If you're looking for something simpler just to use w/ Claude Code, a simple call to "claude -p" can work: https://github.com/nicksergeant/dotfiles/blob/master/zshrc#L...

Not exclusively - we have a few clients outside of our region, but most of our marketing is centered around local businesses in our area, and probably 80% of our client base are located within a 50 mile radius.

by nicksergeant 11mo ago
Yep! I built the whole business around slightly higher monthly fees with no (or much lower than typical firms) setup fees. It makes a lot more sense for smaller locally owned businesses.

Thanks for the kind words! We really do try to create nice looking, functional, and accessible websites for our clients.
