I'm using judge0 for a Leetcode-clone I'm working on. Never thought of using it in the context of LLMs, though.

Throw tmux in and this is my exact setup as well. I'm looking into finding ways to orchestrate entire workflows across multiple agents in a harness-agnostic way (locally at first).

Wannabe powerlifter here of about 20 years as well. This sounds like an awesome project! Is bar-path the main metric for safety and "better" lifting? A project I had in mind, once upon a time, was an automatic "Form Check Friday" for myself using a Pi + Webcam.

I'd love to tinker with one of these, but have it look and sound like 2XL... my millennial heart would be full with nostalgia.

Don't know about high-level discussion, but the only other active forum I frequent other than Reddit is https://www.tacomaworld.com/. Really active user base and a ton of good info about different generations of the Toyota Tacoma.

Don't know if it's ever landed me a job, but my small Next.js project (https://howmuchadobo.com/) makes for fun conversation during interviews.

This developer only has about 6 years of experience working at Amazon. It seems surprisingly naive how little this person understands about what a decent PM shields them from as an engineer, but I've heard working at Amazon sucks altogether. So, par for the course?

The MyFitnessPal desktop application sucks big time. In my attempt to create a better alternative, I found that their value doesn't come in the form of good UX or performance, but their food database. And it's huge.

I didn't want to pay for PostgreSQL on Heroku, so I just dropped the database, but the application is still deployed.

So, here's my useless calorie tracker NomTracker: https://nomtracker.herokuapp.com/

I don't know, I like keeping up with what my old co-workers are up to without actually hitting them up. It's also my go-to place for job hunting. It seems like the most popular.

I feel like this is true with ANY size company, small or large. It's a business deal, you're not "joining a family".

Tmux + Vim + TrackPoint (ThinkPad) means I very rarely ever leave home-row. It's amazing!
