Take a shit every time your LLM apologizes for an error!
Why is there no outrage about OpenAI demanding biometric ID info for api access to gpt 5??? Fuck. That. Shit.
I feel like there's a new product category emerging: an AI orchestration layer that plugs into existing systems businesses are already using. This is happening across multiple verticals.
Makes sense. I love gemini when I am pulling in a lot of docs too.
So Gemini for planning and architecting, Claude for executing?
Damn, you swam 9k?
If anyone has a way to disable the internal to-do list tool calling within Cascade I'd be eternally (internally?) grateful.
I hate this. Claude 3.5 isnt any better. Internal system prompts for Windsurf are fucking with my own workflow.
Wtf, Gemini 2.5 instruction following in Windsurf went totally down the drain. Its now proposing code in every answer making a multi-step process basically impossible.
Het is 1956. De groene NBM bus richting Arnhem draait de Lange Jansstraat in vanaf de Neude. De straat werd naar de linkerzijde in 1969 verbreed. Links op de hoek kantoorboekhandel Lorjé, die er al vanaf 1915 zat en in de nieuwbouw terug kwam op deze plek #ronddeneude
Perplexity's browser Comet has been pretty dissapointing imo. Cant do any new stuff that I cant do in the Perplexity desktop client. Putting it in the fridge until it can operate itself for a prompt like "open the homepages of the top 10 soccer teams of the Netherlands in new tabs".
You could consider a vitamin D supp, and if you're lifting heavy Magnesium.
Croissant
Took 6 minutes to empty my trashbin lol
Haha. But was it worth it?
Enjoy ☺️
I thought quite long and hard but I dont know lol.
Very nice. Where's that?
Lol, what is it?
You made that thing yourself? Thats epic.
The real question is; why arent you?
Glad Europe is cooling down a bit. My brain just stops functioning above 24c.
I know there's at least one guy making a living from his tool to help people find cheap flights. If Perplexity or ChatGPT can do that, he'll be out of business soon.
Thats putting some ppl out of business. Rough times.

There is now a signal group bringing AI Builders together: signal.group#CjQKIMUhbH_C...
Walk bro. Get some sunlight when you wake up.
Sounds like a fast track to trouble
Yeah Im not gonna do that math 😅
My SaaS is approaching 150k lines of code. Damn.
I find it helps to provide more context to the LLM. Having to edit the thing kinda suck though (and tagging files for example). Can probably be fixed with easy naming conventions for prompt files now that I think of it.
I accidentally changed a string to an arraaaaaaay, Which had me debug things all daaaaaaaaay 🎵
😂
Perplexity is so legit. I find myself using it more and more. Its like a RAG chat agent for the whole fucking internet.
You dont have to be good at 'ideas'. All you need is to care for a certain customer. Have them talk about their problems. Uncover the gold. Then the ideas will come.
It truly is.
Making notifications like this behave right is just hard. Even Reddit doesnt get it right (the msg was already read).
Takes you back right!
Sickest webdev portfolio site I've seen mitchivin.com
Im dying here 🤣
Coding agents thanking themselves be like
Damn bro. I hope you got off with a package. So fulltime building for yourself now?
Super cool dude
Sun's out, guns out ☔
Well it can be packaged but it just stols working afterwards. Which is obviously quite frustrating.
Like make it an executable.
No I have only tried Electron and that was the last time lol. Thanks for the tip, ill keep that in mind for the next time.
Not if you cant package it :')
Making a desktop app with Electron is about the worst experience I've had programming.
Do you have any set process you follow to go from feature idea to tests to then generate code?
That has probably to do with your and my experience level as a developer :p Any examples?
Any source on this?
I do have user stories, I do not have acceptance criteria most of the time. Currently asking to write tests for a positive scenario, a negative scenario and 2 edge cases, but I feel like I need to level up my testing game.
Yo anyone has good prompts for creating unit tests?
I think its pretty clever.
My father in law got tinnitus from driving his motorcycle on the highway without. Learned my lesson.
Sucks bro. Been partying without? I have a set of earplugs on my motorbike keys, always use them.
Your number is oddly specific, why 12.2k? 😂
Fucking hell I just inspected Linear's landing page because I think it's one of the greatest landing pages for SaaS I've seen, and this is what they put there 😂 Great easter egg.
@bryansmith.io curious to hear your take on this workflow
Bye
Currently vibecoding like this: github.com/MitchelliJ/B...
Whut, how did I miss this windsurf.com/blog/windsur...
Whut, its literally their street cred.
Ooh, neat. Will check it out.
I think its a bit of a hot mess and could be structured a lot better. It seems Zuck learned from Musks Grok-mistakes. Its still early.
This guy pried the system prompt out of Whatsapp-ai. www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA...
That is literally in my prompt to generate the tasks 🤪
Very nice
Not interested, got enough on my plate as is and could use an even more technical cofounder myself ;)
Its the worst. Once i get things working i can share if you want.
To be fair, a lot of indie builders I know set no alarm at all, so props to having one.
Building a desktop app with Electron for a personal usecase for me and my wife and I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing.
You should... make it show up in ai?
Power to you to get the mvp off the ground man 👍🏻
And how to you start new projects? Make most important screens first or something? Like setup basic page structure?
Yeah thats true. He definitely rode a wave. I hope I can onboard a CTO or founding engineer. But if I cant, I am down to building this thing with my own bare hands.
Arent you pretty technical yourself too?
Maor Shlomo indie hacked Base44 and sold to Wix for 80M within a year. Which is a reminder for myself that I should just build the damn thing and not be held back by lack of funding, cofounders or anything really. Just build the damn thing and make it excellent.
This broth is going to be insane and I want to brag about it. Main stars are the bone and fat cap from two huge entrecotes and the hard outer layer of dry aged meat 🤌
I typically dont so anything in bulk. I find that 1 feature per PRD gets me good results and allows the ai to run uninterrupted for quite a while. When using the repo linked above, the task list usually consists of 5 parent tasks with 3-12 child tasks.
Every project I’ve built without an @astro.build frontend and partial hydration has made me want to rebuild it using Astro.
Do you run into context Windows issues with Claude + rules files?
Yeah this is beating a dead horse, but tbh most people need to hear this more often.
Btw rly curious how you handle two workflows at the same time. Dont you often run into them wanting to edit the same files like server.js?
Looks a bit like mince with sprinkles.
Its great. Im personalized mine. I think it needs more of the stack mentioned in the prd or a seperate stack list. I also found that Gemini 2.5 often starts implementing instead of creating the prd + tasklist. I think thats because of the 'goal' thats being specified. Still experimenting.
I settled on 1x32inch with fancyZones. Works great and my neck prefers it over a main and secondary monitor setup as well.
No.
Yep 🙌
Like actually two-way communication with people at scale.
But so is sqlite3?
I dont wanna hate, but has anyone achieved 'reach' on BSKY?
Why choose Astro DB over local sqlite3?
Oooh, interesting.
Absolutely. But thats normal, since you are one year better.

I definitely quit late night coding. Like 90% of the times I coded myself into a hole happened in the last two hours of the day.
