VS Code - how much of this can you NOT do with VS COde. For instance, even /rename doesn't work in VS Code. I guess I can try all the recommended commands, but I'm skeptical. Or, conversely, is best practice just to use Claude on the command line, even if I have VS Code as my editor? I think the VS Code integration with Claude is pretty great, but just the /rename issue shows that it is limited.

What a great way to put it in perspective, and shocking how low per query.

I expanded your comparison list (with Chat GPT). Pretty interesting.

I like it! I do the steps involved in this occasionally, manually. It’s not hard but this makes it nice. Not sure I’ll use it since it is one more thing to install and remember, but the author had an itch and scratched it. Well done.

I just tried to switch a simple quick site from bootstrap to tailwind and backed out. It seemed like I had to build my base template from scratch whereas with bootstrap they give it to me for free.

With tailwind, is there an easy way to start with a nice simple working responsive site that I can tweak?

This is so true! I just programmed an Arduino for a diy attic fan controller. Was it hard? Not really. Was it a bigger pain in the butt than programming for home assistant? Oh gosh yes. And quite limited in comparison. It really made me appreciate zWave plus python plus home assistant plus appdaemon. High level coding - use it if you can!

I'd like to plug Ubiquiti also. I'm not a networking guy and I just want my network to work. I don't want to worry about it or try to guess am I having problems due to Comcast or my home network setup.

Switching to Ubiquiti, from high-end Asus gear, has been awesome. Everything just works. Networking is now a non-issue, and when my wife tells me the "internet isn't working", I can respond, "it's not my fault!"

That's worth the cost to me.

Array - What's the use case here? (And I'm not being snarky or even critical.)

My usage is generally lists for small stuff where I don't care about performance, and pandas/numpy for analysis. So maybe array is either if I don't want numpy, or if I am doing something real and large and list performance would truly be a problem?

Also, I looked for a PEP to answer these questions and couldn't find it. (The one I found was very old). Or any stats on performance improvements?

Has anyone actually done this? I looked into it briefly, came away thinking it was going to be non-trivial to get working (or might have downstream bugs), and gave it up as not worth it.

But I could have been completely wrong. Anyone have real world experience?

(BTW - My site is small and 99% of users are not logged in, and 99% of pages are unchanging, so a perfect use case for a static site.)

Sorry I’m dense, but what is this? Is this like an Amazon lambda function tied to an API Gateway?

So maybe that's the idea for my projects that I make available to others. Be a bit more deliberate with branches, allow them to be junky, and clean up when I merge to master. That seems like the best of both worlds with minimal effort. I think I'll even try it.

I'm also a solo developer and use git in a much less sophisticated fashion. I tend to use it as, "freeze my code here, so in case I f something up, I can get back to a moderately clean state." It's kind like a snapshot-based local history. And, quite frankly, I rarely revert one, but it makes me feel safer. I don't care if I have a lot of commit messages that say, "interim". The good ones are clear.

Is this a terrible coding practice? I don't have enough non-me experience to know what an anti-pattern this probably is. I probably won't change my process, but I'm curious.

My two cents- subtrees were SO much harder for my use case. Rename a directory? Ugh. Subtree split? Commit history? Just a mess. I switched back to sub modules and it’s such a relief.
