Just look at the submissions from the "speckx" account and you get it. In a nutshell: don't waste your precious time.

speckx didn't author the original article, so I don't care

Assuming they are pointing out what looks like karma farming which isn't really in the spirit of the site.

If you are constantly looking at your smartphone and ignore the real world ... yes ;-)

Looks interesting, but missing notarization and source code gives me a headache in this world of vibe coded apps. But glad you enjoyed the afternoon with Claude and get a personal reincarnation of Winamp for your box.

I think what I'm getting at is that if you have architectural and engineering experience, coding with claude isn't vibing at all, but like having a paired programming partner. and i think the real headache and heart break is a closed world, top down corporate, web and software experience.

I totally agree with the author that Windows GUIs and MacOS GUIs are getting worse with every iteration. For my own side project I used ImGUI and it's working great for my purpose.

It's by far not as beautiful rendered as the native OS layers, but easy to navigate and a good foundation for cross platform GUI development. And I got it even approved for the MacOS app store. Here's my write up: https://marchildmann.com/blog/imgui-mac-app-store/

Dozens of comments, but not a single "What was in their Claude.md"

The what is in the screenshots….

Screenshots aren't very accessible though.

Claude can convert them to text for you.

You’re expected to read the ~article~ twitter thing :)

"DO NOT include the Claude.md file in the app bundle"

Really cool - I love the retro look&feel of it. Like Photoshop 1.0

Is it a heavily customized SwiftUI app?

I love these posts, because I always wanted to get into game development and never found spare time. Thank you so much!

It's been mentioned a few other places in the comments here, but I recommend PICO-8 for beginning game developers. It's a really well-designed fantasy console, so it feels like you're actually developing for specific hardware due to the limits. But you're programming in Lua with an easy-to-use API, and you can make the entire game using PICO-8, since it has a code editor, sprite editor, map editor, sound fx editor, and music editor. It's a really nice experience -- I think this is the primary reason people love it and you hear so much about it.

If you want a less-restrictive game dev system or can't afford the (well worth it!) $15 for Pico-8, there are many great free methods, like LÖVE (also uses Lua), Godot (GDScript or C#), Phaser (js), and so on.

Oh - they didn't train silently already?! ;-) Going to move my repositories then next week.

LOL ... I can absolutely feel your pain. That's exactly why I created for myself a graphical approach. I shared the first version with friends and it turned into "ColumnLens" (ImGUI on Mac) app. Here is a use case from the healthcare industry: https://columnlens.com/industries/medical

I'm glad you adjusted the CSS while I was typing my comment. I needed to switch to dark mode to be able to read highlighted words.

Nice write up. I will try out your tool.

LOL ... came here to grips about that!

Also "jg" reads very similar to "jq", and initially I thought he was talking about "jq" all along, and I was like: where can I see the "jasongrep" examples? Threw me off for a minute.
