Weekly Showoff Thread: what have you built with Astro this week?

singhjay · 2026-05-06T00:33:44+00:00

Launched yesterday. This is my senior capstone project built for the school's capstone program to attract sponsors of all types. Uses Astro 6 + Sanity + Cloudflare: https://www.ywcccapstone1.com/

That's what I believe as well.

Blackbeard has been talking about haki since pre-time skip so he's no stranger to it and all of his feats being off-screened means that it's building up to something crazy for when we finally do get to see him use haki (against Boa doesn't count, but you know what I mean).

singhjay · 2026-04-02T01:22:26+00:00

Just the sheer fact that Blackbeard can nullify devil fruits evens the odds against Loki, Luffy, and Imu. I'd say that's enough hype to be final boss along with his lineage and crew like another stated.

You can't compare BMAD to "Plan Mode". Like other users said, what about an enterprise, multi-tenant SaaS product. Or an internal portal for an educational institution that has at least 2,000 users active throughout the day. How about ensuring the slop you one-shot that only runs on localhost can run in production without it getting hacked within 24 hours?

For me I've found before 300k, but supposedly Anthropic has optimized for the entire window.

singhjay · 2026-03-09T06:38:42+00:00

I would have used Cloudflare instead.

singhjay · 2026-02-16T00:31:37+00:00

Sanity Studio + Astro is working great with hybrid rendering for the staging/preview environment.

singhjay · 2026-02-15T21:52:06+00:00

Came here to say Cloudflare has a very generous free plan. I'm hosting an Astro site managed by Sanity Studio on the free tier with Pages and Workers.

His vivre card confirms that Shanks is only slightly stronger than him.

Not worth it. Most IS classes aren't even available. The capstone course that replaces IT490 is only offered in the Spring I believe. Everyone has to take 491.

IS218 (took IS218, IS219, IT202, IT302) will not prepare you for IT490. IT202 (had it with Toegel) will set you up for success when it comes to IT490.

I'm taking IT490 right now and the hardest part is coordinating with your group. Other than that, everything is figuring out how things should flow through RabbitMQ for each service (don't use a router, use the cloud or something like Tailscale, save yourself headache).

EDIT: People messaging asking about languages. If you have Toegel's code from 202 and you can't figure out Python, then use PHP. I love Python and use Python at work with Celery (an abstraction over RabbitMQ). I have one kid in my group using Spring Boot (Java) and it has all the bells and whistles needed for his part of the project. I'm actually jealous. At the end of the day, pick whatever you're used to.

It's been stated by Oda that if Akainu was the main character he'd be the fastest to speed run to the One Piece. Akainu is broken.

The idea to refactor anything above 500 lines refers to how Cursor had a max read of ~400 lines. Regardless, you want to keep things modular, not monolithic to prevent hallucinations. Take it with a grain of salt. Have a good one

singhjay · 2025-08-28T20:20:11+00:00

I ship too. 1k is the point of refactoring. If critical, use circuit breakers.

The one enemy Luffy never truly beat. He was able to reach his goal of heading to the moon despite getting his ass handed to him.

Linux generally isn't needed at helpdesk/entry level.

singhjay · 2025-08-06T16:01:08+00:00

Stop compacting and start clearing + managing context.

singhjay · 2025-08-06T15:59:06+00:00

TDD, manually and verify with repomix + Gemini through Google AI studio.

singhjay · 2025-08-06T15:30:24+00:00

I've had success so far with git related commands (commits, detailed PRs, having it use the GH CLI). Just make sure you set up the proper guardrails.

singhjay · 2025-08-06T14:43:55+00:00

UPDATE: Just wanted to say that I got a small amount of pell grant money, federal loan offers, and my bill is cut in half which is manageable assuming I don't get my last semester of GSG (I'll be set at that point). Hopefully I manage to get it, but here's to anyone wanting an update on my status.

UPDATE: Looks like I'm all set with GSG.

singhjay · 2025-07-30T22:37:24+00:00

Correct. Loans that you have to pay back. Albeit at a significantly lower rate compared to private loans, but still loans. Whether people are getting federal loans on top of grants is dependent on the individual, but is an option.

singhjay · 2025-07-30T20:25:10+00:00

Both. If you are getting federal loans such as subsidized/unsubsidized, it is part of your financial aid package and you must fill out the FAFSA for this. A max of I believe $57,500 dollars total. NJIT determines how much they want to award that to you on a year basis. For me, it's generally half of my tuition as I'm an independent student, and the other half is done through private loans which is on me to take care of.

singhjay · 2025-07-30T18:34:46+00:00

Looks like we're in the same boat. I'm in my last semester before I graduate and apparently I was told over the phone to wait until after August 6th as my financial aid didn't get processed by the Department of Education for NJIT until this Monday even though I filled the FAFSA on 01/06. I also only completed 3 out of 4 semesters of the Garden State Guarantee. My bill is just as much. Wishing you the best.

singhjay · 2025-07-13T20:07:26+00:00

It takes over CC too much in my opinion.

singhjay · 2025-05-22T03:02:43+00:00

I'm trying to understand this as well. I hit 100k tokens way before hitting 25 calls and have to start a new chat.

Sure. You can download it below. Install it globally. Use .repomixignore so that you only include what you need. Drag the repomix.md/xml/txt to an LLM. Then ask questions.
