The instacart button is kind of crazy. I'll casually watch videos and when something looks good, I can have the ingredients to make it delivered within the hour.

while I did have an LLM help me edit my notes/thoughts, "this book" is in reference to the book I am attempting to write. This passage is an excerpt!

when you have an "unlimited" access to food, you have to have self imposed scarcity to eat the diet that our bodies are designed to intake. It doesn't help that there is weaponized fat, salt, and corn in colorful bags everywhere you look.

Re:Share Your CLAUDE.mds on Sunday June 29, 2025 @01:41PM (#44414877)
TL;DR https://claudemd.dev is where you can find guidelines to make your vibe coding more effective

If you haven't used claude code, I highly recommend you check it out. You may have used other AI tools in development, but being a cli with a refined "plan" step has revolutionized my development workflow. The fact that I can dispatch three prompts to run concurrently, and reliably trust the actions being taken feels incredible. I am spending less time thinking about code and more about the higher level direction of the code.

If you want claude code to be more reliable in its output, it can further be directed by using CLAUDE.md files. These files are included in the plan step and significantly improve the quality of its output. What makes a useful CLAUDE.md is similar to a well written style guide [1]. By providing a set of guidelines for what patterns to follow, the LLM can be more focused when building its plan. In a sense, a CLAUDE.md can be thought of as a "language semantics" for your codebase or directory for how to "compile" your thoughts into actions. Fortunately, you don't need to write your semantics in BNF [2], but the completeness of your semantics matter nonetheless. Without forethought, an LLM will happily come up with its own plan for your codebase.

I thought of and published https://claudemd.dev last night with the idea that sharing these files will improve the quality of code that we will be writing for this next abstraction of software development.

If you want to learn more about these files, I recommend reading this https://claudelog.com/mechanics/claude-md-supremacy.

Re:Roto: A Compiled Scripting Language for Rust on Wednesday May 21, 2025 @12:52PM (#44053421)
I like yaegi [1] for go because it is an interpreter for the go language (almost fully supported, generics need some love). The most important part for me is being able to keep all my language tooling when switching between interpreted/compiled code. Also, there is little needed distinction between what is going to be interpreted and compiled. Once you start including libraries it gets dicey and the need for including the libraries in the compiled part is necessary. There is also a blog post that comes along with it describing how it was built! [2]

Re:Typed Lisp, a Primer on Sunday May 04, 2025 @06:30PM (#43890148)
I have really fallen in love with LISP recently, specifically clojure. A strong type system is really needed for it to make me feel like I can confidently develop with it.

incredible! great job!

Looking to build someone's small app ideas

In my free time I like to code, but sometimes I have a hard time figuring out what to code. Do I work on that side project with crippling scope creep? That other one doesn't even build. Earning a small amount of cash for spending a week building a crud app that makes a meaningful impact on someone's life sounds interesting. With AI I feel like I could churn these out.Are there any people that...
