First time i’ve heard of bob (born late 90s I guess). Had a great afternoon watching his videos. Thanks for the fun, best wishes to the family.

Saying don't do it won't solve the problem unfortunately. Changing the review process so the session is tied to the code and the reviewer can ask the session/agent is the way, imo, and what we're doing at Chapter.

I took it to mean their process was more divergent than convergent. They explored some branches, felt one had life, or tension, and then unfolded from there.
Guys, this is super cool. As someone building a canvas product that also has a (prosemirror) notepad I am super inspired by this. The way you can flick from a canvas on the notepad, back to the notepad, and it doesn't feel like you're locked in to any block because you can still slightly see where you came from.. love it.

All the best!

Excel is great but there’s a large audience who would benefit from something simpler and more intuitive. That’s what we are trying to build at Klaro (klaroapp.com)

They usually use a central server and last-writer-wins semantics.

I've seen CF Durable Objects used quite a lot.

There are other emerging patterns too: https://www.instantdb.com/

The reason for this is quite interesting and is due to the data that Whisper (the transcription service) was trained on: https://github.com/openai/whisper/discussions/928

This looks great thanks for sharing. I've been using a similar app on iOS and it's definitely been helping with my German. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/langs-ai-language-learning/id1...
I think a _part_ of the problem is due to being confined to the dimensions of your screen. If I'm reading code in one file which relies on context from another file, I can bring them up side by side in my editor, but the value in doing that diminishes with the more files / context I need in order to understand something.

Sometimes I wish I could project my IDE onto the wall behind my monitors. Programming in VR would probably achieve the same thing, but I'm not ready to move into that world yet.

Re:Show HN: Pesto, a Digital Workplace on Tuesday February 01, 2022 @03:40PM (#30168911)
As someone who works for a remote company, I'm excited by the idea of more casual communication tools. Creating a zoom room and sending an invite just feels so.. formal.

With that said, I'd love it if there was a quick, real life demo on the site to show how this tool actually works, i'd guess that it would help more with conversion than an animated GIF.

All the best.
