You don't need to improve your writing. You can write extremely simply and people will vastly prefer it over slop. For example, translating your landing page into normal human language:

I built a compiler that compiles React code into vanilla JS.

Here are some examples

Vidact Start adds a bunch of server-side features - file routes, server loaders, SSR, hydration, and client navigation.

You can't use class components, createRef, most of the Children helpers, or React DevTools. Or any third-party package that ships precompiled against React's runtime.

yooo.. this is exactly what I wanted to do... I'm so happy because (a) I hadn't figured out how to do it (b) it seemed kind of difficult in general and (c) now I don't have to, lol.

Using a laptop outside is fantastic. I love to sit on my balcony and work there instead of inside. My work laptop is an HP with zero ability to do this.

IMO with that definition of "toy" you're overselling the value of performing useful work and underselling the value of farting about.

That project looks needlessly complex, you can just spawn a Haiku subagent in the session and it does the job.

This doesn't work for me. The output gets messed up when the model is overloaded, no matter what. The cognitive load is too much if it has to optimise for readability at the same time.. or it's not trained to be able to do that.

I usually get output at the end of a long task. At that point I'm going to use a subagent with no context to reword it. Haiku does a great job with writing style so I've been using that, the main agent will fix any inaccuracies.

Who's more effective at protesting, USA or France?

And, which country routinely sets a bunch of shit on fire when they need to?

That's right.

It was written by ChatGPT which would avoid examples that are explicitly illegal, and would stop short of advocating things that contravene ToS agreements.

Sad.

Who is in charge of this shit now?

I haven't read it yet, but reading it is not going to change your personality. Personality defines how you receive it.

If you change your entire personality based on a self-help book.. that probably says a lot about your personality.

And anyway twin studies make the hardware seem more impactful than the software in many ways..
