Enjoyed playing it, here's the direct link to play as otherwise you have to click from the article to the GitHub and then find the correct demo link https://vnglst.github.io/when-…

Might be flagged as slop but I asked Opus to do this and was very unimpressed by the result so when I got Fable I asked it to redo. I need to spend some more time reading Fable's one but so far I…

Pmf is this weirdly defined thing where "if you're not sure you have it then you don't". I think it was clearly useful for months to people who had tried it and taken the time to u…

I did something similar, just a photo of handwritten phone mumbers and an easy to remember URL that's not indexed. Anyone will hopefully lend you a phone if you're in a pinch but I realized …

I found a GitHub that was spreading malware. I chatted to AI and it cloned it into a vm, did some static analysis, pulled the usernames of the bad guys and the guys they were impersonating and gave me…
