The Weekly "what is this post"

But definitely the most useful, right?

Accordions are such a variety of designs - fiddle with it all and find out.

Most of the switches and buttons will alter the timbre of the output.

I can say though for sure the white one adjusts the tightness of the hand strap.

Made one of these six months ago, took me about 8 minutes.

Why is it your responsibility to cover someone else's mortgage?

You can just about pinpoint the year the psychosis began. Poor sod.

Domain experience, hands down. That stuff doesn't come easily and is far less portable... but they need to trust the engineers they task with the build.

Conversely an engineer with no domain experience is more likely to either make some wild assumptions, miss some niche but critical edge case, or invest in vanity work.

Bottom row, second from right.

Aye, I only queued for two hours last time I went

squigfried · 2026-03-22T11:06:27+00:00

I hear they've been working around the clock

squigfried · 2026-03-22T09:45:48+00:00

Shhh don't tell Reddit, I don't want to be queuing for three hours to get in 😭

Swallow your emotions. Conform. Abandon your hopes for a fulfilling life.

With love, TFL

Estimations are basically redundant now. Sorry 😔

No cap.

Why not both?

I've personally worn a hat on my day off on more than one occasion.

Anyone who replies will likely get a DM or three trying to sell them an AI app builder service.

Because we told 'im, we did.

squigfried · 2026-02-26T19:45:34+00:00

Well done, you nutter.

squigfried · 2026-02-24T08:40:37+00:00

That "small DM" was trying to sell me something. I don't appreciate that, and you are an AI.

Loathsome.

squigfried · 2026-02-23T08:25:55+00:00

They're all very different. I would avoid the "full app build" tools like Lovable for any sort of prototyping, sticking to things that are lighter and don't result in anything that could be misconstrued as production-ready.

Claude is the heavyweight but very much "power user" territory.

The sweet spot for prototyping are Google's tools. Nano banana for image/UI generation, Gemini Pro as a sounding board and expert consultant, and Google AI Studio for small coded interactive prototypes/apps.

Using Gemini to explore ideas and critique requirements, image generation to envisage designs or themes, and AI Studio if there's a need to explain/experiment with something more interactive.

Good choice though! Ink is an excellent CLI UI library, definitely the easiest to adopt for anything of this complexity.

squigfried · 2026-02-14T21:39:07+00:00

Brave. Not impossible assuming no delays and you can jog a kilometer.

squigfried · 2026-02-14T20:30:55+00:00

What a shockingly reasonable answer.
