This is a terrifying and illuminating read.

Interestingly each of those sentences also tripped me up but I let it go as it read good enough.

This comment is pushing me to think critically about those weird sentences rather than just accepting it. Thanks for this comment.

This is like that short story with the various llm troubleshooting jobs in some solarpunky future. I loved it but the fact it was AI gives me a form of sadness. This is likely the same now.

I love this, ordered one now. I've been looking for something lightweight to use to ssh into various machines. Though tbh it might go into my junk drawer anyway. Maybe I like the idea of on the go ssh more than actually doing it.

I'm starting to think I should post my prompts if the model one shots it as I don't think the code itself is worth putting out.

I've done a little bit of this and Claude is pretty great. Take the app and let Claude run wild with it. It does require you to be relatively familiar with the app as you may need to guide it in the right direction.

I was able to get it to rebuild and hack together a .NET application that we don't have source for. This was done in a Linux VM and it gave me a version that I could build and run on Windows.

We're past the point of legacy blackbox apps being a mystery. Happy to talk more, my e-mail is available on my profile.

Picked it up :) The look inside was great, it reminds me of an old astronomy book that I was obsessed with a long time ago.

So many of these systems were one man shops. It really speaks to how easy to develop pick systems was. It still very much is.

I work on a bunch of Pick systems :) Love it all and we're still doing active development. (Feel free to send me an e-mail, we pick up orphaned systems)

If anyone wants to take a look, here are some links:

Is this aimed at being in the same role as petite-vue and alpinejs? They also don't have a build step.

I've started to think something like petite-vue and twind would let you build small internal tools quickly, there are some major downsides to it which is why I haven't committed yet.
