I thought it was interesting, but don't appreciate having to give you my email to see full results.

I unsubscribe from mails that aren't useful to me day-to-day because they're distracting.

Other than that it seems like a cool idea. I'd recommend slightly bigger fonts. I often have this issue with Gemini.

I do care a lot what I listen to. It takes me while to find songs that I like.

Also I am not listening to AI generated music that I generate myself.

These are some channels whose music I like:

I don't have strong opinions on whether the AI music I listen to is nerdcore or something else. Maybe I didn't use the correct term.

It sounds great to me. AI-generated music is pretty popular with Warhammer 40k lore as well.

Also I tend to listen to songs for a few days, during which time I feel they're the best thing ever, which also helps with momentum during work.

After a few days I have to find other songs. Since AI music started getting more traction it's been way easier to find great songs.

I understand the criticisms of AI music, but that doesn't take away from the fact that for me and a growing number of people it sounds good.

I mostly listen to AI-generated music. 8 out of 10 of my top listens in the last 180 days are AI-generated.

I gradually went from various genres -> mostly nerdcore -> mostly AI nerdcore.

EDIT: Updated link to the most listened songs in the past 180 days. The songs are not generated by me.

Not much. Anthropic was down. What's up with you?

I do hope we get vertical tabs before that, though.

I've been writing tutorials for multiple of my sites through the years (bytexd.com, nooblinux.com, and others), but decided recently I just want a more personal site where I mess around. It's still new though.

Wow this is really cool. The fact that it streams components one by one is really nice compared to having to wait.

It reminds me of claude.ai/imagine (which isn't available anymore) and https://github.com/wandb/openui

I also prefer Windmill. A category they both fall into is workflow automation. n8n is useful when collaborating with non-coding colleagues.

Wow, this is exactly the type of write-up I needed today.

I'm working on a project where I've found that a few orchestrated agents may be the way to go, but I've been having some hiccups which I intended to deal with. But this article covers many of my concerns at a high level.
