Especially when the solid core now ships with a web ui and API compatibility with OpenAI and Antropic. In my test of ai clients, Ollama was the only one I deleted.
This was my issue with current client ecosystem. I get a .guff file. I should be able to open my AI Client of choice and File -> Open and select a .guff. Same as opening a .txt file. Alternatively, I have cloned a HF…
Did you even listen to the speech? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDMyeGQm3NA He never trashed the US, he simply stated the facts and how middle powers should respond. Not by isolating but by working together. He…
If you watch his speech and the follow up interview you he answers that directly (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDMyeGQm3NA @ 17:50). It's a good watch, better than the past 10 years of daily coverage by American…
I went through evaluating a bunch of frameworks. There was Langchain, AG2, Firebase Gen AI / Vertex / whatever Google eventually lands on, Crew AI, Microsoft's stuff etc. It was so early in the game none of those frame…
I had this issue today. Gemini CLI would not read files from my directory called .stuff/ because it was in .gitignore. It then suggested running a command to read the file ....
I will also add checks to make sure the data that I get is there even though I checked 8 times already and provide loads of logging statements and error handling. Then I will go to every client that calls this API and…
I feel like it was this way 10 years ago. Once r/TheDonald successfully gamed the system everyday I think people with interest took notice. Now you can be in a niche sub reddit that averages 40 comments on a post. Then…
I asked Claude to add a debug endpoint to my hardware device that just gave memory information. It wrote 2600 lines of C that gave information about every single aspect of the system. On the one hand kind of cool. It…
I ran into an AI coded bug recently the generated code had a hard coded path that resolved another bug. My assumption is the coder was too lazy to find the root cause of the bug and asked the LLM to "make it like this".…
It was my go to back when I was doing Java Desktop / Servelets / Java EE. I found it easier to use than Eclipse, which most people I knew were using. I recently did a Google AppEngine project to collect and display…
1) Yes, the other benefit at the time was a browser would only do X number of requests per domain, using the CDN allowed more requests. Also it was a bandwidth issue from the server. 2) Yes. I should also mention at the…
In this situation server bandwidth was an issue. Using an available CDN with the fall back was what we decided to do. It's not that complicated, from the client check if the object you expect to exist in the library…
I do both. If you are loading a JS lib then check for its existence on the client. If it's not found load the resource from your server. You could also achieve this on the server side.
I switched to YT music and like it better than Spotify. The main thing I find is YT recommends better related music to what I am currently listening to. I found Spotify was playing the exact same songs all the time.…
I find the costs and use cases take up time to try and figure out. I wanted to prototype a IOT device pushing data to the cloud. I used Google IOT Core. After reading a bunch of tutorials I streamed the data to Big…
No, when I read the article 'hard' seemed to equate to 'took longer than expected'. It takes time, but I think the tools that are out there are easy enough to use. If you wrote the software you already have a good idea…
I don't think load testing is hard, it just requires time to do properly. Maybe some people think they can get a tool, record a script and hit play. In some cases that might be enough. Once you are concerned about…
We had a vendor deliver some C# source code that was exactly this. A 'repository' interface that had a concrete class that called an abstract data access class etc. A path of 3 or 4 calls to run a SQL statement against…
I feel the same way. I was writing a desktop Windows/Mac app using swing 10 years ago. The look and feel that came out of the box was fine. At first it was metal. It was a light blue with gradients to white on the…
I agree, I see those patterns in the wild a lot. You have a Microsoft shop using .NET and SQL Server yet the devs still abstract the data access layer. I think those patterns just became common 'just in case' they were…
They also had a Satellite service (Satellaview) where they delivered a 4 episode Zelda Game that could only be playing during certain hours. https://zelda.gamepedia.com/BS_The_Legend_of_Zelda:_Ancient_...…
I did the same thing with puppeteer when I had to do a bootstrap upgrade. It was easier to generate screen shots at each breakpoint to make sure there pages looked ok.

I'm lucky enough to have 1 - 3 hours between their bed time and my bed time to work on something. At the end of the day its hard to do more work when you want to decompress / spend time with spouse, but some days I make…
