Tools for llms for developers. Unix philosophy, pipes. Repository maps for a quick overview. Hybrid search for finding knowledge, tools or skills. Linter for tools. External tools provider, not MCP. Having a blast.

Love the UI so far. The experience feels very inspired by Aider, which is my current choice. Thanks!

I enjoy PHP. I've been using it for about 20 years. I enjoy writing in the language, most likely because I've gotten good with it. It is my preferred tool for creating things and solving problems. <3

Been using aider with Code and it's so amazing. Also swapping between Zed because it's so fast.

darkotic — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 12:29:53 +0000

You didn't say that isn't PHP, so can we explore that further? I write a lot of my own little php shell scripts to do things. I use laravel zero for a framework of related tools. I wrote a cli RAG app for LLMs using it. You might look into TUIs people are coming out with like from Charm.sh, written in Go.

I want something that just publishes my markdown files in my Obsidian vault as a static site.

It feels even worse than that if you consider with this being widely known, competitors could make a point to attack Netlify customers knowing it may bankrupt them.

I want to use meilisearch but it takes up more disk space than I'd like unless that has already improved.

I read the Introduction and would love to try a compromise. I'd start writing things down more and revising them for clarity. I wouldn't go all-in.

Ask HN: Taking a job you don't know how to finish yet

darkotic — Sat, 11 Jun 2022 18:18:40 +0000

You've been a developer for 20 years. As a contractor, you're excited about a potential clients upcoming projects. You haven't worked in this new space before. You aren't even sure you can do it yet. Do you jump in full-time and invoice for time spent learning? Do you learn first and take the job later?
