Rant Code: Burning the world, at a discount, for code
As any tech lead/CTO worth their salt, I have not opened my IDE to write code for a few months now. And as an aspiring blogger I have thoughts about it.
I have thoughts about LLM coding, and they might be slightly different...

Right now I have:
A status tracker for different things around the house (chores, fridge, stuff like that).
A recipe list easily searchable and with tags.
For this to work I'd have to add a centralized entry page.
..is centralized.
You can self host it if you like that better (but it's more expensive).
And if you have an itch that you want to scratch, you can come to me, I build it with you, I add it to the catalogue and you get a couple other apps for free.
I have a dumb business idea.
I've started to scratch my own itch with several little apps to remove some annoyances.
I wonder if making them open source, but with a hosting option would be worth it.
You pay something like 1 euro per little app per year, everything...
I have not looked (much) at the code, so would not be comfortable releasing any of this, but it sort of works for me
One is a chat to interact with my todoist and help me GTD.
Another is an interactive recipe list.
Another one is a dependency explorer for Rails projects.
And, finally, a status tracker for several things in my house
With coding assistants being highly subsidized (thus, for now, worth it).
I am having fun letting them create small little projects I wouldn't really put in production, but are fine enough for me)
