Self Hosting + LLMs is a superpower. I feel like a wizard when I can just ask an LLM to build something, and deploy it to my home server and 90% of the time it just works. It's not just building toys anymore. It's building personal software I use every day.

I started using Wallabag as a read-it-later service since it syncs with KOReader on my Kindle. One problem solved. However, Wallabag's GUI leaves much to be desired, so I used Opus to build and deploy a better client. github.com/momja/pouch

Having a conversation with an LLM is the worst part of the new dev world. The more I read LLM writing, the more it irks me. Why am I having a conversation with a Roomba all day? Something about the way it strings words together, it's just inscrutible at times despite its prefect grammar. #llms

A little Exhibit Artifact: Chess! Since localStorage is proxied, you can create a shareable chess board that does not need a real backend to play with others. The web should be small and personal. I particularly like that you can move the pieces anywhere on the board. #buildInPublic

It’s crazy that an iOS update requires 20GB of storage. That’s a third of my entire phone’s storage. If you account for the 20GB the OS already takes up, I effectively only have 20GB of usable storage.
