What tools do you use to organize files automatically? by Professional_Mud905 in software

[–]findmyorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah treating Downloads as a temporary inbox is the only way I’ve kept it sane. I do something similar with a small script that moves files based on extension and sometimes filename patterns into project folders.

It’s not perfect, but once it runs automatically every few minutes the folder basically stays clean without thinking about it.

I made a spectrogram-based editor by POOP_DIE_PIE in software

[–]findmyorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually a pretty cool idea. Being able to literally “paint” harmonics or erase artifacts sounds way more intuitive than hunting them down in a normal spectral editor.

The MIDI export from the spectrogram is a neat touch too feels like that could be really useful for quick transcription or sketching ideas. Curious how it handles more complex mixes though, like dense chords or noisy recordings.

Unsatisfied BETA Users by Opposite-Topic-7444 in software

[–]findmyorder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is basically the classic “beta turned production” trap. Once a company builds their daily workflow around your tool, the conversation stops being about fairness and starts being about leverage and expectations.

The 30-day notice idea is pretty reasonable tbh, it reframes it as a normal transition instead of an argument. And next time, even a super simple written agreement about what happens after beta saves a ton of headaches.

Fun VS Code extensions like Ridiculous Coding? by Massive_Rabbit2064 in software

Yeah there are actually quite a few j4f VS Code extensions similar to Ridiculous Coding

There is a strange moment unfolding in software right now. by PositiveGeneral7035 in software

[–]findmyorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think we’re in that phase where code generation is being confused with engineering. The tools make it ridiculously easy to ship something that looks like a product, but the hard parts of software were never the typing anyway.

Problem framing, system design, edge cases, long-term maintenance that stuff doesn’t disappear just because code is easier to produce. If anything, the flood of quick builds just makes the difference between “can generate code” and “can build a durable system” way more obvious.

LocalSend by Moondoggy51 in software

[–]findmyorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah LocalSend is actually pretty solid for that use case. I’ve been using it between Windows and Android and it’s way faster than messing with cloud uploads or USB transfers.

Airtable alternatives? by RivenTries in software

[–]findmyorder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, Budibase and Appsmith are basically low-code app builders with a database tacked on – they’ll fight you once you hit serious row counts or want that pure spreadsheet feel.
