Mostly use homegrown skills. For shared skillset at work, it's a standalone repo with a script for everyone to install the full set. For a personal collection I also use a script to sync a few upstream ones to keep everything in one pl

You just pick a place and draw it. Being anti-screen and taking a recurring break are not the same thing. You don't have to go full Amish. It's like the weekend. It gives you time and space to do other things, and encourages varia

I happened to dip into Heretics recently and thought, if someone were to publish one of these essays as a blog post today, it would be decried as AI slop. This must be who the models learned to write from.

I recently did a similar thing to get all my private repos off GitHub while keeping the same git workflows and accessibility for other machines on my home network. Now my Pi is the remote for those repos.

Can't help but think of this I re-read recently from Nietzche: > When I analyze the process that is expressed in the sentence, "I think," I find a whole series of daring assertions that would be difficult, perhaps impossib

I was thinking about this as a bull case for human developers. Seems if you're worried enough to do this you're not going to have LLMs write the new code.

Just tried out Opus 4.6 to make a ground-up new version of a perennial side project: static site podcast player. For this one I focused on loading speed and reducing interaction with repo. So it processes the images (converting to webp) and

I'm curious to understand more about your use case. I've been working on getting fellow designers out of Figma since it's easier to express intent in code now using LLMs.

He literally brings up a concern he calls the "lethal trifecta" when it's even remotely relevant.

Thanks for sharing! I tried a similar content-in-url approach for a family grocery list app but I couldn't get the url that short. (It worked but it was a bit cumbersome sharing over Whatsapp.) Will see what I can learn from this!

I've been thinking about something like this from a UI perspective. I'm a UX designer working on a product with a fairly legacy codebase. We're vibe coding prototypes and moving towards making it easier for devs to bring in n

For context, I'm a UX Designer at a low-code company. LLMs are great at cranking out prototypes using well-known React component libraries. But lesser known low-code syntax takes more work. We made an MCP server that helps a lot, but w

Our low-code expression language is not well-represented in the pre-training data. So as a baseline we get lots of syntax errors and really bad-looking UIs. But we're getting much better results by setting up our design system document

Not an engineer but I think this is where my mind was going after reading the post. Seems like what will be useful is continuously generated "decision documentation." So the system has access to what has come before in a dynamic w

Mine is a much simpler use case but sharing in case it's useful. I wanted to be able to quickly generate and iterate on user flows during design collaboration. So I use some boilerplate HTML/CSS and have the LLM generate an "

My use case is a little different (mostly prototyping and building design ops tools) but +1 to this flow. At this point, I typically do an LLM-readme at the branch level to document both planning and progress. At the project level I've

What I took away from your post was not that you want to learn computer science but that you want to build things with software. If so, now is a really exciting time because it's never been easier for people without a CS background to
