Connect your coding tool to a browser (like with the playwright MCP) and just let it iterate on its own until it matches the design you want.

I agree with everything except for Kamal. I'm happy to have someone else handle the server side maintenance. Maybe once my service grows so huge that handling it myself makes sense moneywise, but starting off that way is overkill when there's such affordable alternatives.

anthony_franco commented on Ask HN: Using LLMs for coding, Is there a preferred language/framework?    · Posted by u/imranhou
anthony_franco · a year ago
I find that if you check when the LLM's data was updated, and then choose a framework/language version release date that's before that, then it's pretty good.

In my case I use tailwind css a lot and found that sticking to v3.4.3 created the best output from LLMs.

You built a product first and then are searching for the market for it? That's tough. If you do it in reverse, find the market first and then build a product for them, it's 100x easier. Trust me.

The first I think of when anyone mentions agent-like “tool use” is:

- Is the environment that the tools are run from sandboxed?

I’m unclear on when/how/why you’d want an LLM executing code on your machine or in a non-sandboxed environment.

Anyone care to enlighten?

The llm just returns a method name and arguments to pass it. Your code is in charge of actually executing it, and then replying with an answer.

There’s some YouTubers that release weekly videos about AI news. I suggest you search around for ones that suit your interests.

Friendster was one of the first big social networks but the amount of users slowed it down. That made everyone move over to MySpace/Facebook.

If I remember right, Friendster had a feature that told you how you were connected to every other person (friend of a friend of a friend, etc.). And it was this feature that made the pages slow to load.

It's a great way to trade your books with others. And you can pick and choose from others' collections. Plus it's a good way to get rid of any extra books you have lying around.
