This is the kind of continuous improvement that you see from motivated software engineers when there is a financial incentive (aka paying for the software) involved. A regular cadence of releases, solving issues that users are excited about. My time and tokens invested: 0.

New VMPal.com 111 is released. - Bluetooth device passthrough. - Support for 2D and older 3D games, they now run smoothly. I can finally play my favorite game, Stronghold Crusader HD Extreme. - The GPU has generally improved and is now faster.

I see lots of builders who don’t understand why potential customers would rather build than buy. It goes back to understanding the different needs and constraints of different size and type of orgs. Pretty much every builder (myself included) runs into this. Being embedded

Can confirm. Take a complex problem, give it to your agent and you’ll likely get a mostly working solution. Guide it with specific principles, such as using a state machine, and you help it frame the solution space into something that can robustly evolve over time. Also, use

I think I'm addicted to getting agents to build state machines Every time I see an agent has built a state machine (or even just a reducer) I can feel a huge bump in the robustness And I know that future updates will be trivial and testable Would recommend for frontend
