Shawn Flahave @sflahave.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Working on converting a huge Groovy codebase to Kotlin. This would be damn near impossible without AI. It'd take forever. It takes a long time, and is very tedious, even with the help of AI. This is a perfect job for a LLM. 010

Shawn Flahave @sflahave.bsky.social · 12/02/2025Really digging the Lucide icon library. I just ran into a problem where I wanted a filled flag icon, but it seemed that all their icons are outline-only. But for some icons, including Flag, you can just give it a fill and stroke. If you need a filled icon, just give it fill. You have control. Nice! 020
Shawn Flahave @sflahave.bsky.social · 23/01/2025Not to brag too much but I just got back from a meeting with a customer who talked about how much they like my SaaS, fielderapp.com, how it saves them so much time/effort, etc. That’s awesome, but it’s hard to accept when all I ever think about is what is WRONG with my product.fielderapp.comFielderSoftware for field service businesses 000

Shawn Flahave @sflahave.bsky.social · 25/12/2024I think this brilliantly articulates my own thoughts/experience with using LLMs to help with programming. I always figured that for AI to really take over the job it should just write programs directly in binary. Programming languages et al are for humans. world.hey.com/dhh/the-prem...world.hey.comThe premise trapThe hardest part for me about collaborating with junior programmers, whether it's in open source or at work, is avoiding the premise trap. That's where the fundamental assumptions baked into the first... 010
Shawn Flahave @sflahave.bsky.social · 22/12/2024I currently have a form with an address autocomplete field, to capture an address in a single text field. I noticed that Stripe's Address Element will auto-expand to show extra detail fields once you select an address. Thinking of copying that. Thoughts? #designsky docs.stripe.com/elements/add...docs.stripe.comListen for address inputCollect addresses to use in custom ways using an event listener. 110
Shawn Flahave @sflahave.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Recently switched from i18next to Lingui. I love being able to write the text directly in my JSX instead of having a bunch of t(“msgkey”) calls. Also love the PO format, so I can write comments in the translation file. Makes it easier for LLMs to do the translations for me. 000

Shawn Flahave @sflahave.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Ughh, just realized our React Native app uses toSorted and that causes problems for Android because toSorted is not available there. The best way to avoid this kind of dumb mistake altogether would be to NOT use RN. Use the platform, with a good compiled language (Kotlin) instead. Sigh. 120

Shawn Flahave @sflahave.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Any web devs who are very familiar with both Astro and Remix: what do you think are the strengths & weaknesses of each? ChatGTP suggests that Astro is better for static sites, whereas Remix is probably better for large dynamic web apps. Do you agree? 000
