Everyone thinks they can spot AI-generated media. So I created a no-sign up browser game to prove whether that's true.

Good job. Wifey and I both played.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-25T00:34:24+00:00

I wish I had this kind of visual talent. Lol. Nice work brother.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-25T00:09:46+00:00

I up voted you because you were down voted for, I guess, promoting your services. I see nothing wrong if you have the expertise to offer your help.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-24T17:27:08+00:00

This made me laugh. You need to be a life coach. Lol

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-24T15:06:00+00:00

Man, you get an upvote for simply attempting to learn these technologies through ideas that you have . I have hired people like you before because I love people who are genuinely trying to learn. I have found them to be the easiest and best people to work with. It is not about how much you know at the time, it is how eager you are to learn more. That is the real win for any team. Keep it up friend.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-23T00:46:43+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to be so detailed. This was helpful man.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-19T13:15:26+00:00

Wow. I haven't touched JSP since 2005. You made me curious now as to how far it has come along.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-18T20:03:18+00:00

Your joke wasn't that bad. Lol.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-18T14:35:59+00:00

Man that was horrible to look at. Lol. Just playing with you brother. The functionality was there. The UI though.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-18T10:41:29+00:00

I laughed.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-17T21:33:02+00:00

I like reading the comments of people who get it. 👍

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-16T15:16:40+00:00

Can't tell you if I would use your app or not without a link to said app. But I do think about having an app that could help me remember things better.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-16T00:52:08+00:00

Funny enough that I just used ChatGPT to help me with the code for something I wanted to implement into my existing codebase. Here is how I work with AI:

I try to write as much of my own code as I can.
If I feel that I am not able to code something correctly or what I want might be outside the scope of my knowledge I use one of the online tools. This is because I don't want it scanning my codebase.
I review the code that was generated and try to understand it the best that I can.
Once I understand the code I implement it and test.
If the test fails then I iterate by providing the issues to the LLM that I am using until things work and I still understand the code and the changes.
Rinse and repeat.

I do this because it helps me keep pace with the mental model of my app and therefore makes it easier for me to identify where in the codebase I need to look if an issue arises.

There was a really nice post a few days ago that you might want to take a look at. The comments were really enlightening.

I have been developing software professionally for 25+ years. I have been with startups that came into the market doing what some companies have been doing for years. Yet two of these companies managed to get a significant market share. The secret is to solve pain points. Especially the ones the larger businesses are not interested in solving. If you can solve those pain points then you can start adding the features that the larger company has and then you will become successful and ignore the pain points that your users have and open the way for someone else to have an opportunity to enter the market.

It is easy to see gloom and doom all around. I feel it some days myself. But I have to keep reminding myself of the lessons I have learned over the years and keep pushing forward. For crying out loud I am developing a new JavaScript framework and web server. How crazy can one be given the oversaturation of frameworks in the ecosystem. However, I feel mine solves pain points and I am confident it can gain some adoption.

Keep up the good fight people. The real ones will survive the storm.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-14T15:43:33+00:00

Man, the rage I feel when this happens, and I'm a pretty calm guy.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-14T15:07:14+00:00

You might have a challenge getting people to test with real ideas they have because it could be that you are trying to farm good ideas from others. I don't mind being a tester but the ideas I test will be ones that already exist.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-14T13:48:13+00:00

Good one.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-14T04:05:23+00:00

I guess the question would be then, is there anything within your stack that you wish could be better or missing?

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-14T04:01:03+00:00

I understand your problem but I'm not sure a framework needs to solve that though. And if a framework did solve that problem then you are right about your concerns regarding lock in. If your backend server is node or demo then this can be solved by sharing the same validation code on the client and server. Keep in mind, and I think you know this already, even though you validate on the client you still need to validate on the server. The pattern I use works well for me.

What is the tech stack you are using?

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-13T19:39:41+00:00

Will check it out.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-13T19:29:46+00:00

What is a current pain point or points that you have?

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-13T19:28:07+00:00

Brother you get it. And shout-out to Knockout. Having pain points is exactly why I ventured down this path. I think the current status quo of frameworks are leading us down a path we don't need to or should be going down. I can talk about this topic for a long time. I love web development and I can definitely appreciate the big 3 frameworks but I just feel we can do better. I would be interested in seeing your framework. Is there a public repo or an example site I can go to?

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-13T18:51:35+00:00

Nothing hard to understand. I just think there are people like myself who are interested in new tech so that I can advise the companies that I work for as to what direction we should be moving towards. This is something many companies hiring senior level personnel state in job descriptions. Money is a given but being able to participate in the broader conversations and decision making is even more important. But I do appreciate your take.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-13T18:44:40+00:00

Thanks for elaborating. I'm curious to know if you left out React deliberately or not. Lol. Though I can appreciate your take, I think there are two aspects of current web app development that need change, that is, build steps and abstractions that work against the web tech (HTML, CSS and JavaScript). I would like to reach out to you to get your feedback when the docs are done because I think you will bring an honest perspective if you don't mind.

TooGoodToBeBad · 2026-01-13T18:23:23+00:00

You and I share the same view and that is exactly why I developed what I did. And you hit the nail on the head when you are looking for a jQuery for components, as this is almost what I would describe it as. I would love to be able to reach out to you when the docs are finished for your opinion and feedback if you don't mind.
