I admit, I almost made a post when ChatGPT went down, remarking on how far we've come, that it disrupted me, and that I was consciously choosing to wait for hours for it to come back up, because it does expedite my coding work by more than 10x, so it's worth waiting for it to come back up.

ATProto makes programming fun again. Here's a side project I did over the holidays, a small app that surfaces the 10 latest links to GitHub repos from the network. I learned a ton, including Go, Javascript, and a lot about websockets

I gave ChatGPT the finest-detailed bullet-point list of descriptive phrases I could, for our initial product line, and I told it in a way to basically say, "make sure out of everything you express that it's a gesture-control platform," and, well, you can see that it did exactly what I asked.
