Cheers. I’m going to have to see, I might be away.

What about dots and boxes? That game where you draw a point grid and then each person takes turns putting horizontal or vertical lines between the dots until they claim a box.

it’s so good

I believe positioning and clarity of message. Substack led creator-first and never positioned itself as a free to read platform. Medium instead stumbled with direction over monetisation. The wider ecosystem was also very different in 2012 vs 2017, the creator economy is very much a thing now.

this is it for me. i love this place but that effect is certainly worse here. at least “show me less like this” seems to work more here.

Ding ding. I had to follow the light, literally.

Very ready.

If you don’t want to run it locally, it’s available on OpenRouter. You simply top up with credits and get a basic chat interface which is enough to try it out. openrouter.ai/deepseek/dee...

We’re looking at places LLMs can improve the product at the minute (who isn’t) and val.town has been invaluable with getting some working UIs going quickly to experiment. Full recommend.

I am quite pro testing in production for most web stuff but our billing system should add numbers correctly.
comment in response to post
Very much so.

The critical rule that has always applied still does though: read the tests carefully and ensure they fail assertions when making a deliberate change that you expect a fail with. Only way to ensure they're doing what you think they're doing.

My workflow now is to write a decent stab of what I want the thing to do and then ask for full coverage tests written in <insert style> from Claude with an additional request for it to evaluate any things I may not have thought about. This is the easiest it's ever been to gain 100% coverage.

oh sourcemaps, of course, one of those things that will mysteriously stop working after an [npm update, bundle change, gust of wind 💨]

what counts as reliably in terms of sentry? it’s always seemed ok config wise but maybe that’s because i view it through django projects which is how it started life

Splice studio maybe? They tried to fix cloud syncing but that’s slightly different to what is needed IMO (and they sunset anyway). If you’ve ever used a vim undo tree plugin, I want something like that for each synth.

And happy new year!

I’ve been away but you’ve been busy! I spent New Year’s Eve reading about Zero. It’s looking great. I will be doing some experiments to replace our conversation stack in the coming months as it seems like a natural fit for it (current one is very web1).

This made me chuckle because Nein always hits so much harder than No. You are right.
comment in response to post
Oh cool. Well then I can’t wait to find out what that is…
comment in response to post
Still largely Sonnet with Raycast Pro and Cursor. I am unsure if Raycast do anything on top of what Claude does to enable the web searching stuff but it works very well. & separate ChatGPT sub for o1 usage but o1 has no web abilities yet.
comment in response to post
Yeah, there is a happy medium between the hype and the actual utility today. I will try and share more.

Search summary is up there with the most useful things definitely. I just gave it a list of Airbnbs and asked it to write about the trade offs of each area. It just saves a lot of research time.
comment in response to post
Well quite! It’s more to find the experimental/fringe/darker stuff and avoid the mainstream house nights.
comment in response to post
Whereas with Raycast you can give it the search results URL on whatever listing it is and ask it to summarise each one in the list, or even better: filter out to what you want.
comment in response to post
Haha. Going to a new city and being met with a list of flyers like this. If you don’t know the names, it’s impossible to tell what lies ahead..
comment in response to post
I know right, there’s easily another five inches to make it higher.
comment in response to post
My language on this is harsher than it would usually be because I don’t think most developers have woken up to what’s coming. There will be a huge divide between those that get it and those that don’t.
comment in response to post
Currently my stack is Cursor and Raycast Pro mostly with Sonnet then drop to o1 whenever I need more.
comment in response to post
I missed the o1 news so this makes a lot more sense now. 😁 Thought you were talking cumulative cost.
comment in response to post
That’s so cool. It’s funny how many successes just come from building something/anything in the first place.
comment in response to post
What was the first moment that you decided to build/commit to Geocodio and how did it come about?
