first, well done, works great, love seeing folks building things

second, whats special about this vs a desktop app like https://imageoptim.com

It's not you — It's me.

I had to double check myself at least a half dozen times, too

ooh now I want a Josef Albers Homage to the square version https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homage_to_the_Square

"We built it, it worked sometimes, so we threw it all out" is either the most honest engineering blog post I've read in a while or the plot summary of every project I've ever worked on.

It feels like the teams getting AI workflows right are the ones willing to iterate toward simplicity, figuring out what they're uniquely good at and letting the rest of the ecosystem handle the rest.

That loop of build, learn, simplify is quietly producing better products than "build the whole thing" ever did.

Just wanted to flag the use of the little "jump back to where I was reading" links on the footnotes is a feature I'll be implementing and using on every footnote I ever write for the rest of my life now. Thank you!

These days, it needs to be very clearly an example project/feature/whatever the take home is.

If it even remotely smells like "real work" I'd be inclined to pass. I don't need to do work for free, or use my tokens for them either

"Generate an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle" is the new "but can it run Crysis"

how the heck did i even post this on this thread? god ive got too many tabs open

mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell

"English spelling has a reputation. And it’s not a good one." - never have i ever agreed with anything more

different hill, but one I would die on is: as the letter "c" should make the "ch" sound, the letter "c" serves no purpose not already handled by "s" or "k" otherwise

Trunk detects, quarantines, and eliminates flaky tests from your code base. Works with any language, any test runner, and any CI provider.

I totally get this side of things. I see the benefits of Agentic coding for small tasks, minor fixes, or first drafts. That said, I don't understand the pseudo-tribalism around specific interfaces to what amounts to only a few models under the hood and worry about what its doing for (or not doing for) junior devs.

Also, if we could get AI tooling to do the reviews for us reliably, I'd be a much happier developer.

The product makes notes from the transciptions, so this animation isnt wildly off base to have

I have had the alias `huh` for years, which is just `pwd; whoami` just to confirm I am where I think I am, and I am who I think I am

Every day we grow closer to 1 AI IDE per project
