I made a plugin that turns figma designs to code using Claude AI

Works with HTML, CSS, Tailwind, SwiftUI, Flutter, etc. This is production level code and you can enter custom prompts like "make it functional" or "add hover states".

Oh and it's free. You can use your api keys.

The MMR vaccine does not cause autism.

There is no need for further research on this.

It's been done.

Multiple times. At a cost of billions.

Its a settled question.

After reflecting and marinating on it, I have some thoughts on the Rays playing at Steinbrenner Field in 2025. (Warning: Long post ahead.)

I’ll preface this with some things.
I’m a Tampa resident who would love for the Rays to play permanently in Tampa, which I believe to be the best location for them in the region, but I also realize that there’s been no viable path to that becoming a reality AND I have no problem driving to St. Pete for games. I'm already a partial season member.
All of these can be facts at the same time.

Whether the Rays sell out every home game in 2025 or not, to me, does not correlate to the city of Tampa proving it can sustain a MLB team full-time or that it failed.
This is not apples to apples.

First, there's the novelty aspect, where fans will want to try something new. What would this look like if it occurred over three, four, or five seasons?

Second, there's the capacity difference. 11,000 ≠ 25,000.

Third, directly corresponds to the prior point, and that's the fact that less seats most likely means more expensive seats. We've already partially experienced this at the Trop with the 300 level being shuttered.

Fourth, the weather will now have a direct impact. For at least a season, the comfort (don't laugh) of 72º rain delay-free baseball is gone. Paying higher ticket prices, coupled with weather impacting games starting on time or being postponed, are now both factors.

Lastly, I'd be lying if I didn't say it stings a little that they're going to play in that team's spring stadium.

I say all of this to conclude that I'm happy they're playing 2025 in the area. You can cheer that it's in Tampa or feel slighted that it's not in Pinellas, but I think we can all agree on that point. With the Trop sustaining damage from Hurricane Milton, this was a no-win situation for the Rays.

From my perspective, it would be extremely disappointing to kill the new stadium over a temporary home for a year, but we've seen a lot of crazy things during this new stadium saga the last few decades.

No matter where any of these teams play, either long-term or short-term, they're ours and represent the entire region. If you're a fan, you'll find your way to the games, whether they play in Tampa or St. Pete. Full stop.

Now, let's make sure the horn and some orange lighting make their way to Tampa for 2025.

Today and every day, Rays Up!
