Interestingly each of those sentences also tripped me up but I let it go as it read good enough.
This comment is pushing me to think critically about those weird sentences rather than just accepting it. Thanks for this comment.
This is like that short story with the various llm troubleshooting jobs in some solarpunky future. I loved it but the fact it was AI gives me a form of sadness. This is likely the same now.
I love this, ordered one now. I've been looking for something lightweight to use to ssh into various machines. Though tbh it might go into my junk drawer anyway. Maybe I like the idea of on the go ssh more than actually doing it.
I've done a little bit of this and Claude is pretty great. Take the app and let Claude run wild with it. It does require you to be relatively familiar with the app as you may need to guide it in the right direction.
I was able to get it to rebuild and hack together a .NET application that we don't have source for. This was done in a Linux VM and it gave me a version that I could build and run on Windows.
We're past the point of legacy blackbox apps being a mystery. Happy to talk more, my e-mail is available on my profile.
I work on a bunch of Pick systems :) Love it all and we're still doing active development. (Feel free to send me an e-mail, we pick up orphaned systems)
If anyone wants to take a look, here are some links:
Is this aimed at being in the same role as petite-vue and alpinejs? They also don't have a build step.
I've started to think something like petite-vue and twind would let you build small internal tools quickly, there are some major downsides to it which is why I haven't committed yet.
The reason programming is fun is because it represents a counterpoint to reality. If you have a bad relationship and you invest energy in it, focus your attention on debugging it, it's likely to get worse, not better. But a computer program (once you have enough experience and skill) gradually get better, in direct proportion to your efforts.
This makes programming a make-believe replacement for reality, one that represents many people's fantasy about how reality should work. It's like a drug, except that you can hide your addiction more easily -- maybe even get paid to be a programming addict.
While reading about memexs, there is a side trail into the stuff of AI dreams. Bush describes a system (page 9) that can continue to work and investigate and set up links that the master can then come back to and join into the main trail of thought.
I imagine this is already an area of research but the more I look back the more it looks like we're creating stuff that was already thought of.
I would love to know what Vannevar Bush would have written about the memex now in the age of llms.
