I don't know if you are being funny, but I say stuff like "arguments" because it has 452 of them, because I wanted to make almost everything configurable.

For the last couple of months I was working daily, and intensely, on Meltdown. The project started in 2024, but I retook it recently and improved/extended it a lot.
This is an AI Harness + Platform, made in Python and Tkinter.
It has a lot of advanced features, arguments, commands, shortcuts.
Lots of widgets and the markdown parser were done from scratch.
It has a powerful API to create conversational sessions interactively.
You can learn about it on a blog post I made:

Hah. Just now I was reading about how Sony hated Michael Jackson because he owned half of the music licenses, and some say Sony might be been involved in his demise. My point being, maybe Sony is not a nice company.

Great new way to write blog posts!

I tend to like images in a split second, when they try to achieve a certain aesthetic at least. I can later inspect them more carefully and understand why they're good.
Reading text, it can either grab me or it doesn't. I've asked about that to an AI and there's some reason for that. Some text is more compatible with me, due to the rhythm or combination of chars/words used, how they actually look/feel, it's not just about the content. So I'm assuming some writers are going to be more compatible with me while others will make me dismiss them quickly or just skim.
I like to think I have the correct objective taste in music, but everybody thinks that about themselves.

Just use both. vscode + copilot for autocomplete and antigravity for prompting. My main editor is vscode and I do heavy manual edits, and I also heavily use antigravity. I feel like I've become very productive and not actually renouncing the ways of the programmer, but augmenting them, as long as I'm careful enough with the generated code by checking every file it touched.

Some months ago I made this Morse Code Universe where people travel through zones, stumble upon each other, and communicate in morse code.
All they can do is use morse code to communicate, even the names are assigned automatically. There is a zone map with hundreds of zones, zones with recent activity get a red hue. Secret zones can be unlocked if you happen to use one of the sekrit morse code words.
It's a casual mmorpg/townsquare that is fundamentally safe since the best you can do is focus to type a very offensive word in 20 seconds.
I stumbled upon some random people who visited the site as I was developing it. Taught some the words to enter the secret zones as a game, took them on a tour. Also met a morse code aficionado and we had a little conversation in morse code, eventually met him in another site I have.
