The longest part was the printing which took over 2 hours, AI written code took minutes. I'm sure I could have written it, but it would have taken me a little while longer than that to figure out the edge detection algo.
We really are living in the time of star trek!

Influencers never existed before social media came about, but perhaps at the expense of traditional media taking a hit...
Similarly Google gave us amazing search tools, but who remembers the original yellow pages or directory telephone books?

The customer need is something I've only recently figured out. Most if the times it's getting too excited with using the latest tech!

I never considered deeply how important sales and marketing is for any company. Building Tech is truely the most exciting part for me. If only I can solve or automate the first one, I'd be onto a winner!

I have it harder in that I elected to build a team but missing a solid pipeline of work to keep us busy! I feel going solo might be the easier option...

You could technically remote ssh onto your server on your mobile and prompt your code changes whilst on the move!

I love that you can use whatever model you like and just pay directly for the api costs. There is no subscription cost as its opensource. You can also keep using your favorite editor and review the git commits. Call me a geek, but I love terminal based tools!

So it's not actually an idea, you use your normal side, but in a terminal you start it up where you code is. Make your prompts and it updates your code and commits changes to git. Check out aider.chat

I'm using it to build new projects and to make changes and amendments to existing code. Works well with claude and coding in python+typescript

That was a machine from my teenage years, and who could not forget the amiga vs atari debates?

So in our household we have an ev for longer trips, bikes and ebikes for the school run, heat pumps for heating in winter and triple glazing. Solar powered heating. What else can we individual's do to help tackle climate change?

Did that 6 years ago, arch with I3 is the way. No more annoying updates and reboots.
