I made my first ever LLM app! It asks two arguing people to each enter their side of the story, and it generates a witty back-and-forth script in the style of the West Wing. Each person reads their lines aloud, and the script ends in resolution of the issue. It turned out terribly!

On a holiday flight back to SF, about 2 hours before landing, they announced that all of the toilets on the plane would no longer flush due to a “sensor error,” and if you needed to go, contract a flight attendant and they would “assist you.”

Prototyping some puzzle elements in my react three fiber game. It's almost a game! It took me way too long to figure out manual collision handling with the gates. I think the camera should be orthographic, or follow the player, or both? #threejs #r3f #screenshotsaturday #creativecoding

The style of the marble on rails does not match the visuals I have in my head. This might be confusing in a full 3d rail maze level. Maybe some static elements near the rails will help with visual orientation. #webgl #threejs #screenshotsaturday

🎵 Apparently Spotify has an arbitrary playlist song limit of 10,000 songs. I maintain a long-running playlist for coding, and I just hit that limit. Are there streaming music providers without this same limit? A brief search suggests Tidal is similar.

Navigating rails in 3D is confusing. Did some late night hacking to guess "correct" direction for keyboard arrow keys controlling direction on the 3D track, taking into account the camera angle. Still some edge cases I'm not happy with. #screenshotsaturday #webgl #threejs

Tried to spin up a new test app and immediately hit dependency hell. @nextjs.org 's create-next-app installs React canary 19, which isn't compatible with many other libraries, and there's no built in way to force a lower React version. Maybe the universe's way of telling me not another side project.
