tortilla··on The AI Aesthetic
I love it. I'm doing similar, where I am using AI for front end work but I'm refining in 300 iterations. Removing most of the AIisms and low effort copy.

I'm rewriting my 11 year old SaaS. If anyone is interested or want to give me feedback, my contact in bio.

"Great vibes. Great times."

Every restaurant/bar in my area has that phrase in their AI flyers.

"All slop. All shit."

Yes. The comments read like positive ai vibes and their profiles seem empty and low karma.

Please reach out if you find anything interesting.

tortilla··on My two-part desk setup (2025)
I've done some research on my next desk. I currently have a Jarvis desk which is decent.

Here are some interesting ones:

tortilla··on Ask HN: How to be SOC2 Type 2 compliant as a solo-entreprenuer?
My plans start at $50. Top out at $10k a month.
tortilla··on Ask HN: How to be SOC2 Type 2 compliant as a solo-entreprenuer?
Same. For my business, the enterprises that want to use my software wouldn't actually be worth the hassle as their usage is not more than my normal business customers (SMB). Just more work and costs on my end.

Early on, I had a potential enterprise account (well known online store) that wanted everything that enterprises wanted in addition to multiple meetings (with all the stakeholders) for a $50/month account (my mistake for not getting that information upfront).

Another time, a large Canadian media company wanted me to agree to an uncapped liability provision. Respectfully turned them down.

All in all, I lost some prestige business but if I took them on, it wouldn't move my profit levels much.

tortilla··on Used La Marzocco machines are coveted by cafe owners and collectors
I have the same and love it. Another bonus of the Cafelat is no microplastics in my hot coffee. :)
tortilla··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
Yes, but I want it to act like a regular iPad when I’m not plugged in.

* I have 2 Sotsu Elites for my travel setup.

tortilla··on New iPad Air, powered by M4
This is the form factor I want in an iPad (full computer):

Just let me use my own keyboard/mouse when I want to use it like a computer. Better ergonomics too as the iPad would be at a good height.

tortilla··on Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor
I posted about the new Kuycon 28” 3:2 aspect 4.5k monitor I discovered recently today:

tortilla··on Kuycon P20 28.2" 4.5K Ultra-HD+ Monitor (3:2 aspect ratio)
The standout here is the 3:2 aspect ratio. Hard to find these days. Most options are 16:9 or ultrawide.

Anyone have experience with Kuycon?

tortilla··on Keychron's Nape Pro turns your keyboard into a laptop‑style trackball rig
I love the the Voyager when I want to really focus or if I'm going to code for a long time (limits my arm movements and I'm more intentional). When I'm doom scrolling or being creative, I end up using the mouse (I'm looking at the Lift too) or the trackpad more.

Yes, it's my end game but I was pretty tempted by the go60 because of the wireless nature. https://www.moergo.com/pages/go60

tortilla··on Keychron's Nape Pro turns your keyboard into a laptop‑style trackball rig
I used the trackball for about 2 weeks straight when I got it. I felt I could do about 95% of movements I wanted pretty easily. Became like second nature. But I prefer the Magic Trackpad for its gestures. So basically I have 3 pointing devices on my desk now (LOL).

I'm enjoying my ZSA Voyager and Navigator (trackball) combo.

Out of picture, I also have a Magic Trackpad (right) and Logitech MX Anywhere 3 (left). I like to switch up my hand movements.

tortilla··on I switched from VSCode to Zed
I switched from Sublime Text (still keep for navigating huge files).

But I love the thought put into Zed and it looks great (this is important to me).

I don't use their AI features but it does come in handy when I need an quick alternate answer or perspective. I use Claude Code in a separate terminal.

tortilla··on Agentic Development Environment by JetBrains
My context window is small. It's hard enough keeping track of one timeline, I just don't see the appeal in running multiple agents. I can't really keep up.
tortilla··on Netflix kills casting from its mobile app to most modern TVs
I never watch Netflix but I kept their highest tier account to share with my family (not in same household). They really started nickle-and-diming this quarter and I cancelled. I know I could add another user for additional charge but it motivated me to cancel.

I’m sorry I made offensive remarks. It hurt you and I am truly sorry.
