In a related idea... https://jslightning.com Sort of a PHP-like, folder based web serving tool that executes Javascript. Very quick and fluid.

At least, pay them for the inferior intelligence until Donald Trump says you can.

Donald Trump cares about it and frequently uses our government to abuse people he does not like, to carry out grudges and vendettas. There is no doubt in my mind that he is personally pissed because Anthropic stood up to him.

Just use a Macintosh. You can simply tell it to be fn keys instead.

If, like me, you specifically do not want third parties inside the Apple ecosystem, Apple has done a great job. I totally hate the EU's insistence of tearing down Apple's walled garden. That is a huge reason I like their products

AS we all have complained, Apple has been working on Apple Intelligence for, roughly speaking, forever. Their private compute cloud thing and the protocols that protect it have, I bet, been in place for years. That's what you are missi

The EU isn't asking for more privacy. This is about interoperability and competition. They don't like Apple controlling the AI interface and want a portal. They want Apple to put a backdoor into their system to allow third parties

Another upgrade. Now the skill knows to create a containing folder with index.html if none exists and then to link any new docs to it. Now I have a favorite in my bookmark bar for each project I am working on that shows me the docs. I'

By "planning", I actually meant "thought of one time". So, I did it. The endpoint verifies that the destination specified by the POST is in my project folder. If it points at an existing file, it creates a version. It do

This makes me think of a thing I have been planning to do. Maybe one of you will do it and tell me some cool refinements. I run a web server on my Mac. Consequently, I have an HTTP process available. I keep intending to make an endpoint tha

I can edit html. Also, I don't bother with html editing. If it's a doc that needs editing, I just tell Claude to format it for ease of editing and then I just go through and type whatever crap I want to say. Then I ask Claude to c

YES YES YES and MORE YES Generating markdown is faster so unlike our friend here, I still do use it for straightforward things. BUT, in general, I tell Claude, "I think we should starting a project planning folder for this. Put (the st

"in practice"? Disrespectful, of course, but also not true. In practice, most designers know what they are doing as well as you know your job. If yours doesn't, you hired a quack. Here. Try this, in practice, most business ow

I don't see it as a misstep at all. The purpose of StackOVerflow is to share expertise. I am 100% supportive of it being used for training... AI, you, everyone.

Don't have it do things for you. Have it do things with you.

I have had things like your React instead of Vue problem. I solved it by always having Claude write a full implementation spec/plan in markdown which I give to a fresh context Claude to implement. Typically, I have comments and make it

Back then, also around May, I had Claude 3.old destroy a working app. Those were sad old days. Hasn't happened in a long time. Opus 4.6 is a miracle improvement.

An advantage I have enjoyed is that I am insanely careful about my fundamental architecture and I have a project scaffold that works correctly. It has examples of all the parts of a web app written, over many years, to be my own ideal str

I would love it if someone explained what their ten agents Ralphing away were actually told to do. I suppose if you are doing something that truly can be decided based on a test but, I just don't see it, at least for anything I do.

YES YES YES!! I so wish that we could go back in time and never, ever have even suggested anything other that what you say here. AI doesn't do it for you. It does it with you. You have to figure out what you want before the AI code

Every time I try to use Claude Desktop, I quickly feel like it's like trying to type wearing mittens. No bueno, at least for me.

My wife calls Claude my girlfriend. I do a ton of programming but I also use it to learn all kinds of stuff. I'm into physics, history and philosophy and have done wonderful explorations. Now I tell it what I had for breakfast just to

The brainstorming, investigation and planning are so much fun, aren't they? Having an infinitely patient, super smart colleague available all the time is amazing.

I have been making web apps for years. A few year ago I converted my base stack into a scaffold that lets me spin up a full working project with API, CLI and UI. I use NodeJS with a highly structured ExpressJS app for the API. It uses an np

I'm with you so much. I had to buy the big Max plan. My wife calls Claude my new girlfriend. (Good thing she's ok with being in a cyber-thruple .) I'm having more fun than I've had in years.

I am a professional for forty five years. Your description of the experience tells me that you have not figured out how to do it correctly. I NEVER have bad experiences like that. I absolutely DO create production grade software reliably ev

A thing I think a lot in the conversations about AI is this: You don't have any choice. Good or bad. It's here. Get over it. I know that back in the day, people said automobiles were bad and evil and costing the buggywhip makers t

What a good insight. The people who are pained by AI subsuming something they do forget that it empowers them to do a million other things.
