I feel like I'm starting to have an allergic reaction to the AI writing style. I can no longer unsee it, albeit I can't exactly pinpoint what about the text triggers this guttal reaction.

2 Criticisms:

- On mobile, it's quite hard to hit the X to close an element description. With my specific screen size, I always end up opening Darmstadtium.

- The Element quiz hints consistently give away the answer in the penultimate or final clue.

Other than that, fun project! Thanks for sharing

I guess they're very much related, given that they're both tools to flash images to an esp32. But from checking the repo, this seems to be an effort by the tinygo people to extend the embedded go ecosystem.

For me, the cow was just below the bottom of the screen, which caused me to first wonder what the heck and then get great comic relief after scrolling down!

So far I've been really enjoying the language. I'll suggest to you to work through the go tour in the beginning, then gobyexample is a great reference resource. I've also heard good things about the book "100 Go mistakes" which is for advanced users. Obviously, Go has its own quirks but if you can enjoy them and make the language work for you, it's really fun!</p> </article> <article> <h1>New comment by heckelson in "To AI or not to AI"</h1> <p>heckelson — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 14:35:05 +0000</p> <p>I like the tldr pages to learn the most common features and use cases of new command line tools!
