ASN was pretty bad - they recently wanted me to renew KYC/ID info. They wanted to install a Chrome Plugin that then would read the government KYC data. I nope'd out of that very fast. The alternative indeed was an app.

I actually did the same but at some point was like "this is good enough" and it works well. Diffs, comments on diffs, integration with Linear and worktrees is good enough for now and gives me a productivity boost. Couple of other apps in the space but at the time none supported Claude Code in terminals

I think we're talking about 500 updated apps here. You could've done it manually, didnt need a kubernetes cluster

There is also weather and voice recognition services. If implemented with third party APIs those costs can add up.

Lol, it's funny you need a higher level language and choose... JSON.

Would rather have 5 episodes with a 5 min sponsor section than one 25 min episode about your way too expensive cooling mattress

How many wheelchairs are actually truely customized? I hear a lot of complaints from wheelchair manufacturers that this isn't really customized

There's also a lot of other use cases! For example, if you have a train schedule with stations and times, you often aren't told how the train will navigate between those stations. In some countries it's straightforward but for instance SNCF TGV services in France sometimes go hours without stopping at a station, crossing a lot of distance. In that case a solution like this can help you find an educated best guess to show users on a map.

Fun to see someone productionize this - I've done this for years to get segments between two stations to accurately be able to render individual train services. I'll let you know that at least on national rail provider in Europe used those results for a long time...

Don't worry I was downvoted to oblivion for it! It wasn't meant snarky but I get that that's what it reads like.
