Slight tangent, but every ms, μs, and ns counts too. We've gotten awfully carefree with response times and wasted compute cycles.

I've become an Antigravity convert mainly because of the generous limits, especially on the Anthropic models. User since day 1.

No worries, it just grated a bit to be called AI slop by the person you were responding to and I assumed you agreed with them too.

Which part of the post feels LLM written to you? Not snark, I’m genuinely curious.

I’ve recently started writing again, after well over a decade, so I’m not very up to date on how things are done and perceived. FWIW, I write these on Google Docs and then port them over to my site. Earlier posts had an AI disclaimer saying I used Google Docs which presumably uses AI for spellchecking and obvious grammar issues but it ticked people off so I’ve stopped adding those.

Somewhere along the way, installing became side-loading and the rot started taking hold.

I've been a big fan of TanStack start and have a few small apps (<10k users) in production running on TSS.

The DX is smooth, the defaults are sane, and things generally makes sense if that makes sense. There are plenty of skills available so Claude Code and Codex know how to work with it too.

If you're maybe finding Next a bit bloated these days, I'd recommend giving this a try. Plus Tanner, the creator, responds to almost every mention on Twitter so it's easy to get eyeballs on issues that you might face. :)

Same here. I've been trying to get more into the physical world, with a tech angle, rather than just pure software. As you said, using my hands is what keeps me sane, makes the world seem a little more real, if that makes sense?

I do mention cases where the browser model doesn't work, like accessing Lidar sensors. Just didn't want to bloat the post with too many examples. But I totally agree with you on this front: not everything can be done as a PWA.

Fair enough. I've read a bit too much LLM written non-tech posts these year that I'm a bit fatigued. I figured people would just want to know this upfront. Moved it to the bottom now.

The site is already back online after the post. You can check yourself. If I really did have malicious content on the site, this post would have had zero effect on the result.

Oh wow, I didn’t even think of this use case. Could I please get in touch for a bit more info?
ssiddharth

Ha, thank you. I spent more time than I'm willing to admit to come up with it.

I use my older, much longer domain for email and identity (it used to be #3 on SERP for "Sid"). This one is just for giggles so I can blog in peace without affecting the main one.

I can't be 100% sure but googling showed nothing. My site was up for almost 6 weeks with no issues. I used the domain for Apple's review process too. No issues at all.

I just wanted to cover all the bases. The site has one outgoing link to the App Store and 3 screenshots.

The domain has no history as far as I could search and the site was up for almost 6 weeks with no issues before it was nuked. I used it with Apple's review process!

I'm shocked there was no notification, or alert, of any kind. One moment you're there, the next, you're gone and no one will talk to you. Insanity.

What is creative about generating an article from a stub? The kernel of the article around which the LLM constructs the content? I'm not trying to be an ass, just curious.
