> The Berlin Wall fell six months after Egbert's escape.

Ironic. Still quite an adventure. Thanks for sharing!


I read the entire post, very well written, and didn't suffer from that impression that it was written by an LLM


It uses words. A lot of words. And punctuation.

And spacing. To say what?

Very little.


Yeah it's so sparse on actual details of Sumerian or cuneiform that after reading the article I remain unconvinced the "author" either cares for or knows anything about the topic.

(To be clear I know nothing about it either, but as a human with some similarly "pointless" hobbies, I can't imagine posting a writeup with so much motivational bullshit but so little about the actual thing I'm interested in.)


You are an engineer who's recent project was cancelled due to a change in priorities. It left you feeling burnt out but eventually you sought solace in learning Sumerian, just for the sake of it. Please write 1500 words in the style of a motivational linkedin post.


The entire "Why Irrelevance Works" uses several LLM patterns. As I said elsewhere, I don't care if someone uses GPT to coauthor a post, but the irony is just too big in this case.


Talking about coding websites: I'm a seasoned dev who loves to be in control of the website code, but hates debugging nitty gritty layouting issues, which steal tons of time and attention. I want to progress fast building great landing websites for my tech products, with the same speed that I code the products themselves. What stacks and LLM tools (if any) do you recommend that help writing great looking websites with great SEO support... fast?


I'm far from an expert, but I think depending on whether you have website designs or not already, you could use the Figma Dev Mode MCP Server + Claude Code as I did.

I've heard increasingly good things about Cursor and Codex, but haven't tried them as recently. Cline (as a VS Code extension) might also be helpful here.

If you need designs, something like v0 could work well. There are a ton of alternatives (Base44, Figma Make, etc.) but I've found v0 works the best personally, although it probably takes a bit of trial and error.

For SEO support specifically, I might just try asking some of the existing AI tooling to try to help you optimize there although I'm not sure how well the results would be. I briefly experimented with this and early results seemed promising, but did not push on it a lot.


Just pay the 20 USD for ClaudeAI for the beginning, then after 4 - 6 weeks check if you are happy.


The FAQ items don't expand for me, on Android Vivaldi.


I use the Python package 'sorcery' [0] in all my production services.

It gives dict unpacking but also a shorthand dict creation like this:

    from sorcery import dict_of, unpack_keys
    a, b = unpack_keys({'a': 1, 'b': 42})
    assert a == 1
    assert b == 42
    assert dict_of(a, b) == {'a': 1, 'b': 42}

That seems a bit crazy and like it would lead to unpredictable and hard-to-mantain code. (pardon my candor).


im curios why you think so ?


Very well written, thanks to the original author


What problem does that solve? Is it for developing and testing MCP servers locally before sharing/publishing them?


Before coding on the actual problem I usually start with a tiny refactoring of something that's related. That's my warming up sports before tackling the actual exercise. Works 100% for me.
