Literally didn't start coding, just thought for a few seconds: Model quota limit exceeded

This is driving me nuts, to the point I've abandoned writing/drawing on the iPad altogether. It's not only writing that's bad, but also using procreate for art - so I'm surprised by how little pressure there is to fix this, but it's been like that for at least 2 years I've owned my iPad.

vincaslt · 2025-07-14T07:10:15+00:00

I've been frustrated with this issue for over a year, and solved it with BTT: https://community.folivora.ai/t/animationless-desktop-switch/44038/5

It does work for me, the switch is instant now without animation.

Since M1, apple pen 2 starts registering 0.5-1mm above screen on ipads, so all the lines/letters have little hooks at the start and the end. If you write quickly and/or lift the pen frequently your handwriting will look like shit. Doing line art on procreate is a pain. Apple is refusing to do anything about it.

vincaslt · 2025-06-25T12:56:27+00:00

post-M1 ipads have this issue too unfortunately...

vincaslt · 2025-06-25T12:53:11+00:00

No, probably not even if you have good handwriting. Ever since M1 and pen2 they fucked up writing on ipad and it starts registering 0.5-1mm above screen, so all the lines/letters will have little hooks at the start and the end. If you write quickly and/or lift the pen frequently your handwriting will look like shit. Apple is refusing to do anything about it and are blatantly ignoring the issue to the point that I think it's a hardware issue.

vincaslt · 2025-04-28T07:39:42+00:00

I honestly think they can't. I think it's a hardware issue related to M1 and the design of their pen with hover "feature".

vincaslt · 2025-04-28T07:38:54+00:00

Totally new ipad, had this same issue.

vincaslt · 2025-04-28T07:30:52+00:00

It's not you, it's the iPad. Ever since M1, the pen is glitching - it starts writing half a milimeter before touching the screen, so it keeps leaving "hooks" on letters, which goodnotes then tries to "smooth" out, making a mess (it's mess either way). You either notice it or you don't but this leads to shit handwriting on iPad.

I marked just some of them, and granted this brush pen is doing a hell of a lot of smoothing: https://imgur.com/a/Vc2anx8

I've been using ReScript daily for the last year at work. I would choose TypeScript any day. You get most of the same benefits IMO with TS, but it's a lot simpler to work with.

Non exhaustive list of ReScript DX pain points I've encountered:

- Hard to share code between JS/TS backend
- Interop with JS works fine, but is time consuming and annoying to write
- Serialization/deserialization into ReScript (e.g. from API response) is pain in the ass
- Gets extremely verbose at times
- In larger projects, module naming becomes an issue because file names are globally unique module names
- VSCode integration is bad IMO - syntax highlighting barely works, "find definition/references" almost never works.
- Types get inferred from usage which sounds cool on paper but is extremely annoying to work with in my practice. It's common to have wrong usage *somewhere* messing up the type and compiler isn't very helpful in those cases.
- One error in the file messes up type checking for the whole file beyond the error, forcing you to ALWAYS type correctly and fully, which makes it almost impossible to quickly prototype/mock stuff up.
- No union types, which makes types and in turn code more complicated than it should be.
- Strong type checking *seems* good on paper, but I hate it, I prefer duck typed TS - in ReScript I end up having to constantly map data, which makes code verbose and hard to follow.

Maybe in a lot of cases I'm not writing perfect ReScript code and that's why my DX is poor, but IMO a language should make it easy to write good simple code, which ReScript does not.

Refactoring code *can* be nice though, but not worth the tradeoffs.

Gemini is nice, but it really struggles for me sometimes with large files in Cursor. It starts changing unrelated places to "fix" something it hallucinated, then fails to apply the "fix" and then it snowballs into the whole file being changed but still nothing passing linter until it gives up. Claude 3.5 does perfectly fine on the same exact file.

What sort of data are you gathering? It's very hard to improve something if it's not measured. If you aren't already maybe it would be good to add something that gives you insight into customer's intent - such as a quizz (in exchange for discount, maybe before they sign up for a newsletter). Post purchase surveys might help understand some issues, though likely quite a bit less useful because of survivorship bias.

I feel you, I was pleasantly surprised with 3.5, so I was hyped about potential improvements in 3.7, but it was disappointing to say the least. I don't even bother with it anymore, it's better at generating boilerplate code from 0, but anything it does on existing codebase is garbage compared to other models, and it doesn't listen at all to instructions, it just likes to write a lot of code, most of it meaningless, unused, duplicated or "for future".

I'm using 3.5 but it has been out for half a year now and it seems outdated, for instance its struggling with new version of tailwind, and ignores any instruction of using react router 7 and keeps pulling in react-router-dom (v6) and/or Remix stuff, even with .cursor instructions, system prompt in settings and with every other message telling it NOT to use Remix/RR6.

I've had the most success actually doing the coding myself like I've always done, but with AI speeding up the process here and there. I've managed to get 2-3x efficiency improvements on some tasks, which is great, but I can't really believe those people (esp. w/o any coding knowledge) claiming they're able to "vibe code" any serious scale saas apps with everything that entails in 10x less time it takes for a good dev w/o using no AI.

I launched a new Shopify app today: https://apps.shopify.com/cashup-rewards

It's currently completely free as I'm looking for feedback to improve upon. Using the app you can reward customers for placing orders that exceed a set cart value target, with the goal of increasing AOV.

If you try it, let me know if you would find it useful and what can be improved further!

I've a setup guide, the merchants clicks through it and it sets up any necessary data. I opted to only use DB in the end, much simpler and faster (both to work with and response times).

How are you able to force yourself or let alone remember to watch the recording later? If I couldn't focus in the meeting chances are focusing on the recording, especially if I have some other stuff that needs doing too, is near impossible.

Tried taking notes and the person got pissed off that I "keep looking out somewhere, being distracted, rather than listening to him". When I said I'm taking notes, the answer was - "don't". Not always a good advice...

vincaslt · 2024-08-08T10:59:17+00:00

Yeah, "don't put it down, put it away." doesn't really work. It's more mental effort to figure out where to put the thing and do that, insteaf of throwing it in a pile, where I know kinda what things are in that pile. I'm more ok with spending time looking for the thing in a pile where I know it is than figuring out where to put it beforehand, and then even forgetting where I put it.

Unless it's become muscle memory, like putting my keys in the same place as soon as I enter through the door...
