Always bet on pen, paper and files.

Any other solo Rails builders out there?

In that regard it’s so similar to what internet did for us, to make knowledge more accessible, sparking our curiosity.

LLM can not and should not replace books, but it’s so good to recommend books to learn related topics, opposite options, demystifying complex and hard to grasp concepts which makes some books less intimidating.

SingleFile – Effortlessly Save and Preserve Web Pages Save an entire web page with all its resources in a single HTML file with SingleFile.

Next time using www.getsinglefile.com to save a single HTML page and put them into Apple Notes.

Which preserves a much better well rendered self contained page. Which can be easily opened on iOS and mac OS.

Love it!

Do not lingering on the specific programming languages, focus on the systems.

I really love JavaScript (and its runtime ecosystem bun/node/deno), one of its curse is to easily think of problems as one off solution rather than a system. With the help of LLM, before diving into any detailed implementations, start with structure and modular design can have much better artifacts.

One thing I learned this year is to always think in systems, not in programming language or frameworks. That system will carry you further.

Aways bet on plain text, HTML and JavaScript. 😊

I love this tool so much.

Plain text files and HTML files are the most durable artifacts.

Thank you Gildas for making this!

Also just forget about all the apps, the full screen web view is the best. Kindle on web.

GitHub - browser-use/browser-use: Make websites accessible for AI agents Make websites accessible for AI agents. Contribute to browser-use/browser-use development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com/browser-use/... is so amazing! However, watching it struggling with the complicated SPAs we created is so painful. I bet server side rendering with plain input box would be the "best UI" for AI.

I honestly don't know the hate about Perplexity, it's still by far the best "smart assistant" we imagined long time ago.

When we say "work smarter, not harder", I think what we really mean is "think harder".
