LLM can not and should not replace books, but it’s so good to recommend books to learn related topics, opposite options, demystifying complex and hard to grasp concepts which makes some books less intimidating.

Next time using www.getsinglefile.com to save a single HTML page and put them into Apple Notes.

Which preserves a much better well rendered self contained page. Which can be easily opened on iOS and mac OS.

Love it!

Do not lingering on the specific programming languages, focus on the systems.

I really love JavaScript (and its runtime ecosystem bun/node/deno), one of its curse is to easily think of problems as one off solution rather than a system. With the help of LLM, before diving into any detailed implementations, start with structure and modular design can have much better artifacts.

One thing I learned this year is to always think in systems, not in programming language or frameworks. That system will carry you further.

I never imagined the way of the year of linux desktop, I think 2025 is really the year now. Used by AI agents.

github.com/browser-use/... is so amazing! However, watching it struggling with the complicated SPAs we created is so painful. I bet server side rendering with plain input box would be the "best UI" for AI.

I honestly don't know the hate about Perplexity, it's still by far the best "smart assistant" we imagined long time ago.

When we say "work smarter, not harder", I think what we really mean is "think harder".
