Yes I too have found newer models (mostly Opus) to be much better at iterative development. With that being said if I have very strong architectural/developmental steer on what I believe the output should be [mostly for production code

First you have to be very specific with what you mean by idiomatic code - what’s idiomatic for you is not idiomatic for an LLM. Personally I would approach it like this: 1) Thoroughly define step-by-step what you deem to be the code convent

Even if you don’t use tailwind the tailwind UI page has some nice example options. It’s nice in that they’re all on a single page so can quickly compare what UX might work for your use case. https://tailwindcss.com/plus&#x2F

Even outside of AI coding I have found a tremendous amount of value in using AI to produce a requirements and spec document for me to code from. The key unlock for me is asking AI to “interview” me about how this system/feature should

Beautiful. You can just tell when things are made with the core premise of how they wanted someone to FEEL playing it. Not some lore, not some "cool" gameplay ideas they had, not some fancy gfx concept they'd prototyped. It j

Just watched your video, really love the style and openness. My only suggestion is niche it down a bit. The SQL tutorial guides and features sound great, but the functional list feels a bit like a laundry list. Even here you describe it as

True. 99% won't care, but that shouldn't hold you back. You get outsized returns from even a handful of people caring - feedback, amplification, motivation, moral support etc.

I get the same whenever I get my daily walk in. Pure unbounded epiphany of ideas and experiments, surging with creativity. I'll revisit them a few days later and for 90% of them my immediate internal response is "that sounds like

As a solo/indie dev who's currently early in building a product, I've been keeping a journal of "ideas" for content in a txt file in the codebase as I hate context switching and want to build this up before I get to

I remember working for a client who needed to support IE6 (with all the insane bugs/quirks/limitations) and I’d despair every time the designers would hand over a Photoshop design with rounded corners. They also needed it to be re

I have noticed a few people grumbling that the slow requests for Gemini in particular are taking upwards of 4-5 minutes to complete. I have noticed a massive decline in the slow request responses for Gemini in the last 48 hours too.

For transparency it looks like this user works for GoDaddy based on a previous HN comment where they link to their GoDaddy email address. My personal recommendation based on customer experience and privacy is Namecheap or Porkbun.

I won’t labour the point but you’re mistaken, nodes ARE traditional cloud/web based systems. All you have to do is check https://www.ethernodes.org/network-types to see that, 65% of Ethereum nodes are hosted and 25% of

So you’ll build a load balancer for the nodes you might connect to, is what you’re saying, and where will you host said load balancer? Wherever you host it that’s the availability level you’ll achieve. High availability is not a feature of

This doesn’t quite hold. It’s only as “up” as the node you’re connecting to is, if that node is down then for all intents and purpose the “blockchain” is down as far as your ability to access it is concerned.
