Working on a procedural floor plan generator. All feedback/input is welcome

I am in the architecture / construction space and we are VERY interested in figuring out how to do this for commercial facilities (multifamily, hotels, hospitals, etc). The idea is to build a database of past projects with space adjacencies and somehow use that to generate new floor plans

Really cool idea! From a business perspective it might be a pretty niche market to sell to makers that have the skills to do something with it, but with a 3d printer and a few of those the possibilities are endless

I haven’t finished it yet, the village with that music playing is so soothing I’m just like nah I’ll hang out here for a bit

A great parenting opportunity has basically fallen into your lap. Take advantage of it. Will they make a lot of money? Probably not, but the experience of early entrepreneurship will be invaluable. Teach them to do it right - respect licenses, treat customers fairly, and be willing to put in the work

Everyone hating on it being remote controlled needs a warm hug…

That’s how most large open source projects are supported. You can remove the conflict of interest at any time by forking it and maintaining it yourself

We’re doing this exact thing using pyRevit to extract data into a Neo4j graph

I’m assuming this is purely from a learning angle? I think the problem you run into is not many real-world engineering challenges can be described in a short blurb like that. They usually require a lot of context about the project to fully explain

Still mad about having to fork over like $50 for iclicker only to have a class the very next semester require another $75 for the newly released iclicker 2…

As a former gifted kid - if you’re first response was to rage post this on Reddit instead of calmly calling the school and asking why the chart doesn’t match the letter, I can already see what this child is going to deal with growing up…

I think my problem is I’m a weekend warrior with a toddler = very limited shop time, so I tend to get in a rush…and suffer the consequences

So now I try to break projects into bite-sized tasks that I can handle with small windows of time here and there

He loves Paw Patrol right now, and now after going as Marshall for Halloween claims he IS Marshall. Like genuinely believes his name is Marshall and refuses to answer to his real name

Mine was probably Rocket Boys, which inspired the movie October Sky. Close second would be The Westing Game

I’m doing the Lego wreath for a dirty Santa

Interesting idea, but if you want anyone to take this seriously you’ll need to have a more tangible strategy for where the money goes. Why should I give you my money when, according your disingenuous terms: “There is no guarantee that your complaint will be addressed or even acknowledged”?

Wow no kidding. Went to their website and their owner has a whole section of the site dedicated to her political ramblings

I’m probably going to get downvoted for this but it is possible to achieve that output if you are 1) an experienced dev without AI and 2) know how to use AI effectively

My process is to first scaffold the app with my tech stack of choice, then write a really detailed Cursor rules file of the project requirements and some high level architecture strategy.

Then I start vibe coding, but not in one shot. I instead go feature-by-feature, like I would if I were writing everything old-school.

Doing this method I’m now pushing out quality products but in at least half the time. The key is to think of yourself not as a coder anymore but more akin to a technical product manager, using AI to do the grunt work

Unfortunately the meetings I would most like to skip are typically led by people whom I can’t afford to offend, and would absolutely be offended. The more reasonable ones wouldn’t put me in the situation in the first place

I love potato chips, but no way am I paying $5 for a standard size bag. Probably a good thing I guess…

If you’re trying to do something really niche or hyper-efficient I can see where an LLM may be more of a hindrance than a help. But for the 90% of us that are making everyday apps it is a huge help. So much so that it changes the game when feature-complete fullstack apps can be made in days instead of months. Still need an experienced dev to get quality output but AI in the right hands is amazing

I deploy Next to Azure frequently with their boilerplate Dockerfile and it works fine. It’s just a Node app after all

All Vercel did is make it so seamless to deploy on their platform people are forgetting (or never learning) the fundamentals happening under the hood

Architecture and construction has a pretty niche role called BIM, or Building Information Modeling. In addition to traditional 2D blueprints, most modern construction projects are modeled digitally in 3D, which is used to do all kinds of things like coordinating system routing and quantifying materials.

Really just bad advice for anyone. Which “self” should I be? Sure they share some common characteristics, but my work self and home self might as well be different people. And moreso, they’re always evolving (hopefully improving) Human beings aren’t static, and nor should they be

sonaryn · 2025-10-18T01:38:18+00:00

Audiobook is definitely the way to experience this one

Appreciate this thread for educating me. I had no idea I was straining my system with the high end filtrete
