i ported the whole DungeonMaster 2 to .net. 90% with the first few 20 prompts, then quite some many to make it perfect. Just from the executables from those DosBox sites. Amazing.
Brilliant idea but:

-Only 1 call at a time

-Must have a phone

Wonder if with a rooted phone you can get by with just an app.

It is, and it is common practice. Dressed up as additional features like everyone else.

Every feature cost me the same (tending to $0), but i price them as i see fit.

same here. Did a timeslot management app for beauty salons etc. Tons of features, never once looked at source or even database (C#+pgsql)

The hard part were actually the sales but I'm getting quite some, going physically(!) to places.

Hosting costs $50, revenue is ~1k/month, nothing special but its basically on autopilot.

I did have the app for 6 months for free on a first client where they would give me feedback bugs etc until i felt it was stable.

I don't even have a pricing page, i try to see how much i get can from each client, from $5/mo to $100/mo

You can deactivate it, but has to be on every car start. It's so annoying having to tur off all that crap every single trip.

Sometimes i forget the lane assist ON and get nudged randomly at high speeds, so so scary.

Just tried on some arduino code. after 10 minutes i got a list of improvements to my code.

I ran those throu opus saking if it was good advice and was not impressed:

I read the actual qr_scanner.ino. Short answer: partially, but I'd push back on most of it. That review reads like generic ESP boilerplate advice written against an imagined version of your code — several of its "fixes" are already in your file, and its headline "critical" claim misreads what the code does. Going point by point:...

Hum? I just tell claude to review pr #123 and it uses 'gh' to do everything, including responding to human comments! Feedback from coleagues has been awesome.

We are sooo gonna get replaced soon...

I Started with actionquake (aq2). check it out.

Minh “Gooseman” Le, one of CS’s creators, was a fan of AQ2. Counter-Strike (first released in June 1999 as a Half-Life mod) built on AQ2’s ideas but refined them with better hitboxes, buy menus, maps, and more tactical pacing.

AQ2 is often described as “the bridge between Quake and Counter-Strike”.

> I could tell GPT to add in an anomaly for the 1970s - like the girl looking at Billy’s Instagram - and it would introduce it into the text without a comment about being anomalous

Wrong. I tried it. it wrote it as "instagram". Then i asked it to explain this instagram:

In Timmy’s mind, it was simple. First, he’d snap a Polaroid of some passing dog or a field of sunflowers. Next, he’d run home, sit at his rickety desk, and carefully slip the Polaroid into a school notebook he called his “feed.” He’d scribble a title at the top—something he swore was called a “caption”—and pretend he was beaming the image across some invisible network into the hands of friends he’d never actually met.

Awesome to me
