Every daily log is the same as the dirt notebook. It reduces friction when going to create a note because you don't have to think about where to file the note _before_ it's even written. I tag things and can sort them later, if I want, or not. Or can schedule things to loop back into my life (move to the current daily) if I choose. It's the exact same concept as their dirt notebook.

It's not a new concept. Bullet journal, logseq, zettelkasten, org-mode, etc are all inspiration

I have a similar idea in the note taking app I've written for myself over a couple years. I have a new daily page everyday with a simple but powerful tagging system. Adding automation soon that will be kick ass, but for now the mcp server plus Claude Code is pretty dang powerful. It's basically a clone of logseq with my own features. It's got templates and saved views and powerful filtering. It's been super useful for me personally. I need to update the README though. https://github.com/steezeburger/brainspread/

You mean it's better than the speechify cloud provided voices?

You can only check your email so many times, and you can only work on so many problems at once. You also generally have to be mindful of token consumption. I think it also leads to burnout to work on so much at once. I've been working this way for like a year.

I find it hard to stay engaged doing this. I do get good results, but it's just hard to not get distracted when it's doing the work.

This is why my favorite book is Thinking, Fast & Slow. It blew my mind and totally made me think about almost everything differently.

It's tough if you're somewhere that isn't very meaningful to you beyond the technology. I think there will be an existential shift soon towards more fulfilling work. Maybe I'm naive or that's just what I feel I need for myself.

I had that same issue with a Tauri rust app recently. It just ran as fast as it possible could. Made my phone heat up.

It was definitely amazing, especially as a creator. It's how I learned to program! Actionscript was my first language. The only thing kinda close to the experience now is Processing. There may have been issues with the tech, but it kickstarted so many creative and engineering professional careers. There were so many good apps and games. It had such a rich ecosystem.

Before the PSP had a legit browser, you could get online by exploiting Wipeout Pure's update or dlc d/l mechanism.

Yeah that would be great. I seriously don't understand how a company with this much money doesn't have some of the more basic ux implemented to make it a really great app. Blows my mind.

That hasn't been my experience. freetaxusa has been pretty great honestly.

Why pay for tax software? What's wrong with the free tax submission website?

Does it just make it easier to get in a position you want or does it give you more natural looking positions as well or any other benefits? It's pretty fun to play with!

I've had pretty good luck with using playwright mcp to test web front ends. I think LLMs can totally test GUIs. Either via vision and computer control or via reading the GUI node tree (e.g. DOM) used by whatever you built the GUI with.

I think it's just the wrong metric to optimize for _first_. It's not generally a bad metric to keep tabs on though. Make it work, make it right, make it fast? Or something like that.

Yeah I totally agree! I also think people should still be reading as much code as they can. That's always been true imo. It is just hard to keep up with it now because of how much code an LLM can generate for $20/month. I do think we'll move to higher abstractions of course. We won't have to understand code as much as how the systems and components are architected. It would also be nice to use our new efficiency to return to producing truly optimized and fast software.

Experience is so so valuable right now. We can guide these agents super well, but I do fear for the juniors as you said. I would like to think I'd use the agents to dive deeper and learn faster. It was pretty rough piecing together solutions from Stack Overflow, various irc channels, Reddit, etc. But also, I cheated on my homework in college and didn't really review the answers, so not sure. Though I pursued programming out of interest and not just to complete a degree. Maybe it would have been different. In any case, I'm glad I came into the LLM era with a lot of experience and failures already.

I've been thinking a lot about the new primitives and paradigms we'll see.

I enjoy using and orchestrating agents a lot to build software, but have never really had the desire to replace my writing with LLMs. I don't write a whole whole lot, so maybe I just don't have enough writing to do to make it appealing, but my emails, blog posts, comments, whatever are the last thing I want to automate. Not only because it's less personal, but because I'm so tired of reading AI cruft myself. So much more text in tickets than there needs to be, for example.

And how are people forgetting to code by using LLMs? Do they just mean they forgot the syntax of a particular language? Or forgot how to architect features or how the development lifecycle works?

I've mostly used LLMs to build more complex things that would have been a lot to manage previously, or to build something completely new and learn how it works. I feel like I've only become a better engineer (and programmer too) because of LLMs.

I'm actually not sure what you're saying. Are you implying inline 2d graphics are the same as inline 3d graphics? That's what the subtitle of Ratty was about. And that's not what was shown in original comment's video. Why does it matter if it was from 2013? It wasn't showing off the same thing as Ratty.

So you're saying that the Xerox workstation didn't have inline 3d graphics rendering capabilities? And in fact this isn't an instance of UNIX trying to catch up to Xerox workstations' REPL from yester-decade?

But that's not what was relevant to their comment.

"Here's this new thing that can Ⓧ!" "Pfft, Y could do X years ago."

Well, Ⓧ ≠ X. Come on now, we're programmers here.

I think the original comment is actually a poorly chosen example vs me having a poorly chosen counter-complaint.

That's not 3d

I actually made a Wikipedia browser directly inspired by Andy's blog: https://steezeburger.com/wikipedia-browser/

I find it a really intuitive way to browse notes and to get a feeling for the relationships between your collected information.

This doesn't seem like a very good solution to be honest. And why use an LLM for this? What if I want a legit random ass string as my username?

I don't quite get how that would work. They were completing tasks to train models but via sms? Can you elaborate?

Fifty two feet?! Damn!

I run an HAOS vm via VirtualBox and then use Tailscale for a secured network.
