midday standup:
last night and this morning I built a huge batching system for my product imports and also turned on a related products import feature I had waiting. Today I was able to add one product and have the system autonomously collect, analyze, categorize, and asseme all of that line

I don't understand how deepseek/chatgpt-4o/o3-mini score better than Claude's Sonnet-3.5 when it comes to coding. Claude is lightyears better than all of them (from extensive personal experience).

having had a day and a half to play around with deepseek, I can pretty confidently say that the us ai companies/nvidia are not in any danger
for first-response of what are clearly predefined prompt paths, it does an okay job, but it loses context immediately and becomes useless the more you use

was told to look in to langchain for generative extraction flows
looked, their system works almost identically to how I designed mine, independenly
makes me feel alright about my software design skills

I am an idiot. My darkmode toggle hasnt been working and I've been pulling my hair out, and I just realize that I'm inverting the colors on the variables but ALSO inverting them on the color definitions, so they just end up being the same.

built a script to package up my codebase in to a .txt file to feed to ai agents, first test I asked deepseek to tell me what it knows and it gave me a pretty thorough understanding of the project

@hgmodernism.bsky.social's bit about introducing friction in to your life resonated; the thing that first started to get me out of my dopamine-fucked adhd inability to do anything was telling myself to to what I needed to do inefficiently, like if I had dishes out I had to take just a single cup -->

today on the agenda: cleanup some admin stuff on SA, work more on Stacks (mobile needs work), and possibly add user accounts/wire that all up.

Today I built the beginnings of the feature for SA (supplement atlas) called 'Stacks', wireframed it, designed a prototype, built the data modeling, wired it up, and spent some time making it look nice. Good progress. The user form for it is gonna be difficult though.
