I also asked Claude to build a photo gallery for me https://places.pascalspoerri.ch (HDR, map support, similar images)

Professionally I hardly use the tools for coding, since I’m in an architecture role and mostly write design docs and do reviews. And I write the occasional prototype.

I have started building tools to integrate copilot (Opus) better with $CORP. This way I can ask it questions across confluence and github.

Leveraging Claude for a project feels very addictive to me. I have to make a conscious effort to stop and I end up working on multiple projects at the same time.

I asked a cursor agent to do the same for a geotiff to pmtiles converter. It managed to optimize the performance from tens of days to half a day for the case I wanted to solve.

I’m not sure if this goes against the CloudFlare TOS tough (last time I checked they had some provisons against processing images).

For more advanced C/C++ developers I can recommend "The Linux Programming Interface" - (https://man7.org/tlpi/). It is a GREAT compendium for writing code against the POSIX API. I have a (legal) copy of this book on all the computers I have access to.

"The Database Redbook" - (http://www.redbook.io) is a valuable source on database implementations.

"Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools" (Dragon Book) is a great starting point. The book is out of print and but I think it should still hold up for most basic use-cases.

It's also more fun to have something which can be easily extended than to start from scratch.

I understand that this might not fit your use-case, but it's worth a try. Just be aware that it tends to hallucinate APIs.

- https://www.meteoblue.com - check out the multi model, the multi model ensemble , the meteograms and the weather maps! Sadly the app itself is not as good as the website.

- https://yr.no - One of the few "free" providers with ECMWF model data (Norway has open data, that's why the data is free)

- https://www.windy.com/ - ECMWF, GFS and ICON. I don't like their presentation, but the available data is quite nice.

If you want a DarkSky replacement API, then checkout out https://pirateweather.net/ (GFS only, sadly :/ )

You can self-host it on a "cheap" webhost and rsync the changes (that's the way I do it). Or you can integrate it with Github and host it with

- Netlify https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-netlify/

- AWS Amplify https://gohugo.io/hosting-and-deployment/hosting-on-aws-ampl...

- Cloudflare Pages https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/framework-guides/dep...

to name a few. The hugo site has a couple of howtos.

Some hosting solutions require that the entire website is stored in a separate branch, others regenerate the HTML through a CI pipeline and store it in an object store.

Client-side rendering works well enough for me, and has been for years (as a visitor). I don't see a benefit to integrate a custom Hugo patch to get server-side rendering for my simple personal blog.

There's the usual youtube and vimeo integration, but also

- integration with Flowcharts through mermaid https://jpanther.github.io/congo/samples/diagrams-flowcharts...

- charts through Chart.js https://jpanther.github.io/congo/samples/charts/

- and even LaTeX support: https://jpanther.github.io/congo/samples/mathematical-notati...

I tried it on my M1 Mini + LG5K2K and soon disabled it again. The performance impact was noticeable in Lightroom and the display adapter config got in the way once I switched display input to my work laptop.

The Apple “English International“ keyboard has a big enter key - if you dislike the small enter key of the US keyboard layout.
