Yeah, I admit I'm probably not doing that quite optimally. I'm still just letting the LLM generate ephemeral .md files that I delete after a certain task is done.

The other day I found [beads](https://github.com/steveyegge/beads) and thought maybe that could be a good improvement over my current state.

But I'm quite hesitant because I also have seen these AGENTS.md files become stale and then there is also the question of how much information is too much especially with the limited context windows.

Probably all things that could again just be solved by leveraging AI more and I'm just an LLM noob. :D

The more I think about LLMs the stranger it feels trying to grasp what they are. To me, when I'm working with them, they don't feel intelligence but rather an attempt at mimicking it. You can never trust, that the AI actually did something smart or dump. The judge always has to be you.

It's ability to pattern match it's way through a code base is impressive until it's not and you always have to pull it back to reality when it goes astray.

It's ability to plan ahead is so limited and it's way of "remembering" is so basic. Every day it's a bit like 50 first dates.

Nonetheless seeing what can be achieved with this pseudo intelligence tool makes me feel a little in awe. It's the contrast between not being intelligence and achieving clearly useful outcomes if stirred correctly and the feeling that we just started to understand how to interact with this alien.

I wonder, if there were an open platform to exist that people use increasingly, maybe that would be incentive enough for at least one bank/financial app to permit that platform just to get a competitive advantage.

In the meantime probably the best that can be done is having a regular phone and a banking phone.

Thank you so much! I’m a first time builder of a bigger CRUD app. While I’m happy to build it with traditional methods the first time (REST API, SSE, auth etc.) I would love to use offers like Instant or Convex in my next projects.

Both look really promising in my opinion.

I‘m wondering how this compares to convex (https://www.convex.dev/)

Is Svelte and in extension SvelteKit somehow the next step in the evolution of frontend frameworks? From what I know it has more fine grained reactivity than for example React or Vue and should therefore just run more efficient? Or has the approach of Svelte also drawbacks that I am not aware of?
