I've had some real success with Suno. There's one song I made as a joke which is a house track with lyrics about me and my friends which I've genuinely downloaded and listen to regularly.

Yeah the most unbelievable part of this is people randomly chatting in London.

I live in London, and I remember flying to Ireland at some point, and I was seated next to an Irish lady returning home from holiday who sparked up a conversation.

My initial reaction was "Why the fuck are you talking to me?" because I had lived in London so long I was thrown off by a random person sparking conversation. But turns out she was just a lovely Irish lady flying from from holiday

> you shouldn't be bothered that someone else does your hobby better

I don't know, I'd feel this way a little. if it's something that's not obvious how much effort goes into the underlying process, it can feel pretty deflating if the craft behind it has felt like it's eliminated.

I can't really think of a good example, but if my hobby was glueing precision glueing little 3d models, then suddenly the hobby has exploded because 3d printers have made it easy, it suddenly feels like it's devalued my collection of manually crafted plastic models

Agreed!

Especially getting them to generate sequence / flow charts I find is a hack to figure out how everything fits together well.

Claude code is fantastic at quickly tracing through code and building visualisations of how code works together

It's far easier to read diagrams then it is to read code.

To get a good mental model, I'll often get an LLM to generate a few mermaid diagrams to help create a mental model of how everything pieces together

it does though, the same way that an llm can trace imports / dependencies through any coding language.

``` If adding tests, read @./TESTING_INSTRUCTIONS.md

```

It's really supposed to supplement README.md, but targeting an agentic coding loop.

E.g. "Before each commit, do X and Y to validate the changes."

With AGENTS.md you have more flexibility to do something like

``` // AGENTS.md

If implementing a new service, first read @./SERVICE_SETUP.md

If writing tests, first read @./TESTING_SETUP.md

```

Or whatever else might make sense for your project.

My fave I remember seeing years ago was one where a man - over some long period of time - managed to park in every single parking space of a supermarket.

I feel like this energy perfectly encapsulates what dull mans club is all about

Not really relevant, but this triggered a memory of being around 14 years old and getting scammed on Runescape which drove an evil character arch from me to somehow find out how to DDOS players in the duel arena and make absolute bank. I still feel a little guilty about my actions to this day. At the same time, I'm surprised that at 14 I was able to find and pay for a denial of service provider and figure out players IP addresses to intentionally disconnect them

See this is what surprises me. I would have thought voting for a more regular market with higher taxes to the elite would be favourable to the majority non-tech workers, rather than the billionaires which play the puppeteers to trump

I just bought a 32 inch monitor and can't stand it.

27 inch is the sweet spot for me. The further through my career the more i've effective with smaller screen space and I am.

I actually prefer working on my 16 mbp nowadays.

Mine has as well, but it's pretty useful. It's really just a search engine though, but it's indexed confluence and all other internal sites and i've found it pretty useful for everything.

I've seen an AI yearbook photos styled app print money that was serverless.

There's lots of novelty apps atm that, as the other commented stated, just want to get to market as soon as possible to validate an idea

Until you work on a front end code base that's meaningfully large

Has anyone made the transition from VS Code to NeoVim or Zed and succeeded / recommend it?

Years ago I saw a colleague operate as an absolute beast using VS Code with vim bindings and it was impressive to watch.

But I've never watched anyone code in vim/emacs etc and felt it's a more effective editor than vs code.

1. that's a lie, and "lots" of people don't use HTMX (unless I've been living under a rock and there is a non-unsubstantial number of people using it :D ) 2. HTMX IS javascript, and you can still use the same familiar packages across front end and backend e.g. lodash

I mean the obvious answer is language familiarity, If your projects frontend code is in javascript/typescript ( which it is ), then using node is an easy choice. Shared libraries, shared types, etc etc

unfortunately this disables the media keys completely -- the point of the linked software is it still allows it for media players intended -- such as spotify; and blocks the apple media player from hihacking

I had never heard of FBI radio but it's right up my alley, and I've actually lived in Sydney for many years. So cheers for the inadvertent recommendation there
