Looks like the Up button overlapping the X button.

No Konami code :(


For some reason, I feel sad. I was always fascinated when finding an article about newly found discoveries on Earth, and the comments from Hacker News were usually helpful and adding more to the stories.

Now, we talk about whether such discovery was written by LLM.

Does it really matter?


I'm working on a boring e-commerce site from scratch, with the boring stack of Phoenix Live View, PostgreSQL, HTML and CSS. You know, the boring stuffs.

I just don't use AI building it. It actually brings me joy amidst all these AI news and updates.


You will be surprised that there are lots of things you want to do yourself but haven't been able to (not just ability, but time and effort).


I think it will click once you actually sit down with the AI agent, toggle Plan mode, and just tell it what you want to do in couple of sentences. It will immediately start building up the plan, presenting it to you what it thinks is the right approach , with the steps to take, with open questions that you can look at and answers. Then send them back to the AI. Repeat. That process along would give you a progress way further than you try to do it by yourself.

You can tell it to start implementing step 1. And you pick it up from there. Very natural how you would approach an expert for help, but you can always audit.


I did not use plan mode but I'll give it a try.

I can't provide a transcript because it's work I made for a customer and I'm bound to a clause of confidentiality.

What I did is what I use to do while starting to work on a major feature: make a list of changes, new and modified functionality, think which code and db tables I will touch and how, set constraints on the edits (eg: that API must not change, that one must be retro compatible) etc. I've been a bit pedantic because this time I had to tell it to someone else. I wrote it into a md file and asked Claude to check the code and find out if my plan was consistent with the code we were starting from. It made a list of things that I needed to detail more, added some questions and we iterated on it. Basically it's what I do myself but it happened faster.


I came across this repo while trying to find alternative to NimbleCSV, the go-to CSV parser for Elixir. NimbleCSV took 230s to parse a 250MB file with 35000 rows and 2000+ columns. RustyCSV took 1.7s.


It would be nice if there is an extension for VSCode or its forks that let you monitor your agent *running inside* your local machine, or VSCode adds support for it. I want to run agents on the codes I have open, not pushing them to a cloud "box" to run agents on there. But I do like being able to monitor or pick up the next steps from my phone.

Last time I tried to let AI build such extension, it told me that VSCode did not expose extension API to monitor AI chat.


I have just moved from a free environment in which I was able to use any AI harnesses or models to a strict enterprise environment.

I was shocked to realize how difficult it has been to have a GitHub CoPilot license on Azure. I mean, they're both Microsoft products. But no, the IT now has to figure out how to set up a GitHub enterprise, link to Azure subscription, and all that.


and set reasonable global and user token limits to avoid burning a year's IT spend cause Dave in Legal went ham on tokenmaxxing by uploading his entire legal case history.

in a company of 12 you can do that by saying 'we're all generalists, just don't be an idiot'. In a company of 10,000, you hired Dave cause he's good at legal merger mumbo jumbo not because he's an IT generalist.


It's easy to look at one part of the HTML and see the Tailwind classes no different than inline styles.

But if you have to use `display: flex" in a lot of places, having the `flex` utility is better. And there are tons of such utilities with Tailwind.


When you inherit a front-end project for the Nth time, those `!important` become a nightmare.
