Wow this is cool.

I just learned this โ€œliveโ€ thingy is in beta for certain twitch streamers.

No posts from 2025 Iโ€™ve been streaming on twitch too much

But lots on blog.janetacarr.com

And a couple on fixedrate.dev

I often wonder about federation too

I noticed you didnโ€™t mention other billing models like per-project work.

I do per-project billing but Iโ€™m curious to hear your thoughts.

i hate to admit it but it seems talking to LLMs like corpos works best;

doing praise and criticize / feedback sandwich produced best results

ie "this is great work. Can you blah blah blah? I love the work so far"

Also saying "homie" works well too.

If thereโ€™s one thing Canadians like, itโ€™s being Canadian.

Itโ€™s just a mistake I made :)

I said in another reply that value doesnโ€™t need to be in the loop binding.

I generalized this BFS from another algorithm Iโ€™m working on, which does have two changing values in the loop binding.

Someone pointed out this can be even shorter by removing the value binding from loop.

It's always so remarkable to me how simple a tree traversal algorithm can be in Clojure

This is 10 lines of code (sans docstring of course).

if you want LLMs to write more of your "favourite programming language" for you

you don't have a favourite programming language.

You have a technology tribe.
