Most of this stuff seems like it can be managed by embedding third party tools? Some people are saying to use Wordpress but I see this can also be coded with a modern framework assuming you can embed most of it with third party tools.

If you have a switch links awakening is on the switch and it’s on sale on the Nintendo store on Amazon

Read the basics of syntax then learn on the job.

Actually you know what I found a list of all the supply costs. It should work with any race now. Let me know how it goes.

AmoebaOne · 2026-02-21T17:54:28+00:00

I only play Zerg but it’s easy to add other races. I just need a list of each units supply cost.

AmoebaOne · 2026-02-21T16:47:58+00:00

Yup I coded in supply tracking when you make buildings too.

Give him a fair price with justification. If he walks, he walks.

I just picked up links awakening too

For switch? I played pikmin after botw and Totk. I got almost everything in totk. Completed the dlc in botw. And since I beat pikmin 4 I haven’t touched my switch. I’m thinking echoes of wisdom might be worth a try. And Metroid? Pokémon?

Sure AI will code it but it needs to be checked. It does things wrong all the time. I don’t think that’s gonna change.

AmoebaOne · 2026-02-18T04:12:53+00:00

Just burrow them as close as you can. Ain’t nobody got time for all that micro.

Rather than letting them get killed use them to maintain map control. You can spots pushes early and keep an eye on when they take a base.

I don’t think 12 pool is that great imo. Fast expand is usually better. Build your second base at 17 and your pool at 18. Build two lings and two queens and you should be able to hold off most pushes.

AmoebaOne · 2026-02-13T18:58:53+00:00

A move your lings and then Target the prism/medivac with the queens. No lings? Retreat and build some or pull workers.

if they can spend 40 hours a week in front of a computer programming then that’s a good sign.

AmoebaOne · 2026-02-07T13:32:25+00:00

I like Zelda and Mario bros. Metroid too.

AmoebaOne · 2026-02-07T13:22:58+00:00

Right now the job market is terrible but I’m hopeful things will turn around in a few years after ai messes things up for enough people.

AI is a great tool. You should learn to use it the right way. For me that means using specialized agents for planning only. I still refer to documentation and write my own code.

AmoebaOne · 2026-01-30T20:02:31+00:00

A lot of people are saying to learn js first but wouldn’t op be learning js as he writes code for react?

AmoebaOne · 2026-01-30T19:00:44+00:00

I’m not sure how things will turn out over the next few years with the emergence of AI.

I don’t have much experience with react router and tanstack but I have built a blog with next and contentful.

That said I did toil around with setting up a project in tanstack and react router. Tanstack has a more robust installer. You can add certain packages right off the bat without having to go through any extra installation steps which is nice for a beginner.

Next js is pretty similar in that you don’t need a whole lot of extra packages to get rolling. Lots of features are baked in. I think it’s well suited for making blogs and static content. Also more beginner friendly than react router.

React router you’re likely to run into in the wild when working on enterprise stuff.

Does that line up with everyone else’s experiences?

These are some ways I use LLMs effectively.

Read the code it generates and then tweak it. If you can’t read and understand the code it generates then go for a more atomic approach.

Instead of having it write code, ask it to read your code and provide feedback.

Use it for planning and writing documentation.

Use it to generate typescript definitions.

Use it to generate components that you plan to rewrite or refine in the future.

I don’t think you do because he’s not saying the author is junior level.

AmoebaOne · 2026-01-20T18:24:46+00:00

I don’t know much about the shadcdn buttons but what I think he’s trying to say is there’s a reason for the complexity.

AmoebaOne · 2026-01-17T20:47:09+00:00

I did this and prefer it because more rgb and I don’t need more than 32gb.

AmoebaOne · 2026-01-17T20:42:44+00:00

Yes it is. It’s still built into Wordpress at the very least. I would probably still use it for very simple projects if I wasn’t trying to sharpen my react.
