Pinning an intro: I'm a software designer from the U.K. currently living in the Bay Area via NYC. I like building the things that I design and hacking on generative interfaces. I live with my amazing wife and our puppy. If you want to chat IRL or otherwise, reach out!
Tools like @v0 and @Replit really are so great for making disposable tools that you just wouldn’t bother making before. I’m reading Tiny Experiments from @neuranne and asked v0 to make be a pact tracker and this is the, well, v0.
@sammdec Haha yes! It’s annoying when procrastination looks exactly like progress (or at least that’s what I tell myself when I’m several hours into a thing that’s totally unimportant at the time).
Had a dumb idea and decided to ship it. Need to re-record the audio because I sound weird and there was some neighbour-noise, but... you can just ship things.
@sammdec Yeah the humble JSON file is underrated. Spent hours playing with vector databases one time and didn’t ship an idea when honestly… JSON file of embeddings would have been just fine.
@sammdec I’m trying to break a habit of spending too much time just playing with fun technology and too little time just getting the stuff out there that I originally wanted to. Actively taking caveman approach to avoid procrastinating.
@sammdec You know, I started down that path because I want to explore it for longer posts, but realised I was spending more time playing with tools than shipping the idea, so I literally did the opposite: played the audio and hand-wrote JSON with timestamps 🥲
