2. install .md skills instead of install .sh scripts.

Thanks, but not this.

My nerves hurt when I see redundant, slow, repeated process.

Use the LLM to compile, not execute.

The right solution is a create-installation-script skill: it understands env differences, generates the install script, validates it against the test framework, and produces something that just works.

Do not make the LLM run the same installation steps billions of times.

Similarly, we now rely on agents to handle more and more workflows, it's better to create a harness to let agents 'compile' repeated work into deterministic code, also make sure agents handle the failures/exceptions to self-evolves the logic.

Thank you for sharing.

I like such subtle branding. I will try 11ty when I need a static site generator.

All engineers please follow this example when you want to promote your product, even when you don't want to promote your product.

no ads but a big support card taking up 50% of space.

Ha, Thanks for the info - I knew people should have tried this before, but couldn't find any related info.

I'm thinking about some promotional events on X like this:

If you put money into the pool you become a sponsor; If you follow a sponsor's X you can participate it for free.

I set up a poll (https://x.com/xing101/status/1918543971778797863):

this game will end in: A. one hour; B. one week; C. runs forever

Social Game Idea: A prize pool runs forever

I got a crazy idea:- there's a prize pool holding $10000 - anyone who put $0.1 into it will win the full prize, if nobody else participate within 5 minAll logic in an open-source smart contract.What will happen?It won't make any money but might gain a lot of traffic, worth building?

I have worked on a google sheets MCP, for data scraping it worked pretty well leveraging Claude's built-in search functionalities.

Dude, I feel you picked places in similar styles. You are looking for a specific lifestyle that you are mostly comfortable with. You should consider building these elements around a place where you'd like to call your home.

Looks handy. Can you share why you want to build this tool?

Every bits of the demo video is awesome. I want to make friends with you.
I remember there are a bunch of similar projects, do you have a demo with ScoutlyAI's competitors?
Looks like a great app to help you out of marriage.
Can the script be compiled into actual DOM operations so that we don't need LLM for every run?
