I’ve actually had a surprising case where I did get much more consistent results from gpt by using a custom format based on semicolons.

Ohhhh!! I totally misinterpreted 😅

Where did you migrate fastmail and buttondown to?

Gibt's Datatrans eigentlich noch…?

Nein. War tatsächlich eine naive Nachfrage 😅

Was war das Problem mit Adyen?

This, but applied to tech workplaces.
When I started, the senior folks seemed to have knowledge that was way out of reach.

But then I realised they were just some guy with a debugger and a ton of war stories about the time the thing caught fire in prod.

It is well worth reading the Font Story for APN Chora here: www.alphabetspatricknell.com/article/font... and I celebrate @patricknell.works for writing it!

All designers should do this. #typography

It actually is! Works flawlessly. Used it a couple of times over the last years. Latest was for migrating from gsuite to mailbox.org

It feels very comfy after some time. But once you don’t look at it for 2 weeks, it looks like an alien language all over again.
LLMs are surprisingly good with it tho

How do they handle multiple inboxes? (E.g. family members, organizational separation like invoices etc.)

100% Hetzner. Im a very happy customer since 2008. Most Personal projects and smaller client stuff runs on their machines.

Should you need a Cloudflare alternative, bunny.net is doing some great work there.

Not right now. My current workaround is liking or copying into notes

Which, thinking about it, is probably also a very human centric approach. Can’t keep it in your head? Split. Can’t explain it in a few simple sentences? Split.

For some reason this feels weird. Probably because software architecture is rarely taught like that

I find myself organizing code, that I create with AI, based on context windows and on how easy it is to explain a relationship.

Hence, there's a new tool on my site: The #Python Package Version Checker. www.originell.org/tools/python...

It all runs in the browser, thanks to the #pypi JSON API.
This is also my first native Web Component. Yay for web standards!

It saves me some clicks already. Aiming to further improve that.

Grab pkg name, search in pypi, click the correct pkg, look at the version, find changelog link, if it's not there hope for a repository link, copy new version, paste it. Repeat.

It's quite mouse-heavy and my IDE Isn't helping much either. 2/3
