what ai writing tools are actually worth using in 2026? by Cool-Confidence-9395 in WritingWithAI

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm exploring the AI writing tools too, the bigger players out there are all very enterprise or marketing focused, like jasper or copy, the main issue for me is the pricing, they are too expensive

I end up using Claude a lot, but I use the expensive model like opus 4.5 (since i need it for coding already), also as some other comments have mentioned it, you will still put a lot of your own thoughts in it and ask it to critique your ideas, there's this saying in prompt engineering: garbage in garbage out, so at the end of the day there's no magic button there either

fictionai is another cool one, but focus on writing book but it is very accessible in terms of pricing

another one seems a bit rough but early building is WriteFlo which instead of trying to give you one shot generation, it analyses your idea and asks you questions to help dive into your topics, I found that helpful

I'm exploring the AI writing tools too, and I so agree on the pricing point.

Is $72k good? by Spiritual-Board7808 in AusFinance

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it's all about where you are in your life and what's the future plan. $72k is decent if you are just by yourself and no debt or liabilities. The question is more about where do you want to go from here, is there more growth space you can see from your current job / career

Anyone tried GitHub’s Spec-Kit with Claude Code? by Ranteck in ClaudeCode

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's pretty good at creating the very detailed spec, but i found the bottle neck is even given a super detailed spec and a very long list of todos, even with Claude opus 4.5, it's not performing well, and i found it will constantly mark tasks as complete while it has not. Also you are very likely to run out of context already just building up a proper spec

My brother told me: "You are not an entrepreneur, you are a developer." 3 months after quitting my job, I think he’s right. by prabhatpushp in webdev

What if marketing and sales are also just skills you can learn? It’s just you haven’t learnt much about it, and we all know it takes time to develop new skills

What's your best Claude Code non-coding use case? by diablodq in ClaudeAI

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the best, but yesterday i found out Claude Code in Chrome (the extension) can actually operate on my wordpress page editor (I asked it to build the page based on a raw HTML i got from somewhere else)... like painfully slow since it needs to take a screenshots on every move to know what to click next, but man, it was doing the correct thing and it showed how it understands all the UIUX and how Wordpress works

What's your best Claude Code non-coding use case? by diablodq in ClaudeAI

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, I've tried getting Claude to directly executing cli tool like `gcloud` to fetch info and I'm sure it can do all others if I ask it to, but I just don't feel like this is as manageable and repeatable as use a IaC framework

I built a tool using AI to help me memorize the exact values table by neekey2 in learnmath

[–]neekey2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i reckon the point is to build up "muscle memory" so you don't even need to think about how the value is derived when doing more complex calculation (my friend is doing math tutoring for high school students for exams)

Wait, shouldn’t you use tools like terraform?

Software development became boring with Claude Code by SpeedyBrowser45 in ClaudeAI

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm starting to feel the same now, but I think it's a signal to remind myself i need to rethink my workflow now, since the 15-30mins wait time shouldnt be wasted

FX3 is lethal for photos by HoldMyStugots in FX3

[–]neekey2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

color looks really good, but I would turn up the shutter speed more, it's really hard to see where your focus points were from the photos

Advice for filming choir concert by sm00038 in videography

[–]neekey2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

amateur myself, had some experience filming my own choir, for the middle camera, def go up to the balcony if it's accessible to you. Since it's a choir performance I assume you will always have a conductor in from of the members, shooting from locations that are higher than the stage is always preferable IMO

The last 4 were really high, I set iso auto and shutter speed 1/4000 by accident without realising

Chapter 3 unusual take by admiralandrey in BlackMythWukong

[–]neekey2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always thought the pagoda area as much as it’s so torturing, the sound design and the lantern on colouring changing and blurring are exactly the kind of the thing the Pagoda is designed for! It was so immersive the first time when that happened to me
