That is an excellent article and I’d like to read more. Are there other resources about the shuttle software development or projects with a similar level of software engineering?

The CLI is, IME, faster and less buggy than the MCP.

Same way you’d do it without AI. Record sample data, test against that, generate more data, test IRL, record more data, loop until it’s good enough.

I’ve found that if I turn off auto mode, I get much more usage from the $100/mo plan.

Have you found a way to have the AI assist in analyzing?

Claude! Get off HN and get back to work.

Caffeine is an example. Coffee and energy drinks are doing well I'd say.

If you haven’t already, get yourself to Wellington and take the tours at Weta. You might even recognize a few of the faces that still work there.

Phoenix Channels

A set of nice flashlights. Why walk around in the dark? Some that I like: Sofirn SP36 BLF, LT1, SC21, HS10. Wurkkos TS10 (and I’ll be getting a TS11 soon.)

It varies. I roast at home, and some beans are great the next day. Some are great the next week. The cafe I used to live next to would rest their beans for a week.

I’m a Full Stack Software Engineer with 13+ years of experience.

I love to learn and share what I know! As a full stack Python developer at a cinema VFX company, I brought React to my team and set them up with a toolkit that enable them to build apps 4x faster. I ran workshops, mentored 1:1 and developed best practices to clarify to my team how to build with Python and React. At a national Internet company, I solved browser breaking artifacts on the national Broadband Map using Python and PostGIS. At a Solar SaaS, I used Python to abstract bespoke Solar Lender APIs so that the Sales Platform could onboard new lenders with minimal changes, ultimately leading to gigawatts of panels on roofs and billions of dollars of deals done. Recently, I've maintained a legacy Django platform while executing a migration into a new platform.

I'm proud that my Python and React has helped create movies with box offices in the billions, helped an entire country find broadband and installed gigawatts of clean energy. I'm excited to leverage my Python and React skills to contribute to your team's success.

It doesn't have to be a small team. See "They Write The Right Stuff".

Watch out for “golden” titanium. It could be a titanium nitride coating.

A bit late but my desk is a sit-stand-race desk. I built a "wall" from an old 2x8 attached to an electric sit-stand desk and mounted a telescoping TV mount to it. When I want to play racing games, I extend the monitor out to the edge of the desk and position my racing cockpit right under it.

Here's another interesting piece by Vice about the Salton Sea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDniDNY03JE

What libraries are missing? So far, I've only missed having a library for interacting with Google Sheets. I got around that with a Lambda running Python. Everything else either had an Elixir library or there was no library in any language.

Something I haven't seen mentioned is a DNS firewall to block phishing domains and newly registered domains. I use NextDNS for that and I'm sure there are others.

IMO, this is the hardest part of maintaining a web scraper. We had ~100 scripts to scrape ~1000 clients' sites and it was, at minimum, 50 hours a week to keep up with changes.

The second hardest part was 30% of our clients all used the same hosting provider, which would start to fail at 10-20 req/s. We had to throttle the sites by IP, cluster-wide.

Building your own database is a great exercise. There's lots of topics to explore, like distributed computing, how indexes work, caching, parsing, etc and you can pick and choose what to implement.

RaspberryPi can be both a USB host and a HID device. Sounds like a fun project!

A high refresh rate monitor does help in measurable ways.

You don't need to spend lots of money to get 120+hz screens. They can be had for $150 if you're willing to make compromises.

Try fly.io. They have a nice free tier.

Newegg has the same problem as all the other big online retailers, third party sellers.

This doesn’t line up with my experience with Drivatars. They seem to have a driving line that they stick to. They often can’t maintain the line in unusual conditions like high powered RWD cars with low traction (like the recent Retro Muscle Trial) and they spin out or drive very slowly. There might be a NN somewhere but it feels much simpler.

Make a simple game. Games are fun and keeping it simple allows you to focus on learning. I made a multiplayer, last player standing trivia game to try out LiveView and it was great.

React hasn’t really changed since hooks and that’s been several years.
