He's teaching proper engineering with commodity parts and accessible technologies.

With admin, you basically just write models, and the entire rest of your app is free. Not quite, but, not far off.

It started out as just predictive text, but now it has a chatbot window that you can access GPT, Claude, etc. from, as well as their own model which has better assurances about code privacy.

I've found that I get better results if I cherry pick code to feed to Claude 3.5, instead of pasting whole files.

I'm kind of isolated, though, so maybe I just don't know the trick.

To be honest, I don't know much about the speed, as my use-case isn't speeding up slow code.

I expected that dropping down to C/C++ would be a large jump in difficulty and quantity of code, but I've found it isn't, and the dev experience isn't entirely worse, as, for example, in-editor code-intelligence is rock solid and very fast in every corner of my code and the libraries I'm using.

If anyone could benefit from speeding up some Python code, I'd highly recommend installing cppyy and giving it a try.

When you get a workflow down and need quantity, though, resin is cool. Since it exposes the whole bed at once, I can, for example, pull 24 small prints off of a small printer every 1 hour. 2 days of production, and I have hundreds, using just one printer. With FDM, this particular part, FDM couldn't even make, but if it could, it'd be more like 15 minutes per part - would need a small print farm to keep up with literally one $150 printer.

I don't even have a space for the resin printer right now, though. It really needs a dedicated and well-thought-out station to keep the toxic stuff from ruining your day.

Did you try engineering resins, like Siraya Tech's "Build", "Sculpt", etc.?

I make some small parts that I FDM print, then CNC mill for accuracy. Was hoping to switch to resin printing, instead.
