Pro tip (sorry if these comments are overdone), write your posts and docs yourself (or at least edit them).

Your docs and this post is all written by an LLM, which doesn't reflect much effort.

> Recently I was listening to music and doing some late night vibe coding when I had an idea. I love art and music, but unfortunately have no artistic talent whatsoever. So I wondered, maybe Claude Code does?

Do I need to read further? Seriously, everyone has talent. If you're not reaady to create things, just don't do it at all. Claude will not help you here. Be prepared to spend >400 hrs on just fiddling around, and be prepared to fail a lot. There is no shortcut.

Comparing this to penpot, which is free as long as you self-host.

Not sure why I would pick this over a self-hostable battle-tested option.

This is super bad right? Like anybody who has this running will be vulnerable to a super basic HTTP redirect -> installer running on their machine attack, right? And on top of that it's for something that is likely installed on _so many_ machines, right?

I don't think I've ever seen something this exploitable that is so prevalent. Like couldn't you just sit in an airport and open up a wifi hotspot and almost immediately own anyone with ATI graphics?

ramon156 · 2 days ago
You can get arrested for this in my country, fun fact.

I guess that's how you prevent anything, just make it illegal and the exploit becomes an unintended illegal feature, like occupying the low-freq radio signal.

If you live near a community bio lab see if you can join up and take some classes to learn some basic lab techniques. And some sort of intro bio class via mooc/textbook/local college class whatever if you can but community lab is honestly a great place to start if you have one.

The main thing to keep in mind is that all the stuff that involves analogies between software and biology is almost universally a bullshit oversimplification that you can safely ignore. It's just that software is so profitable and there's so much vc money in it that there's a ton of pressure to be like "oh we can program biology like we program computers." We can't - we invented computers but didn't invent biology. Biology is the end result of 4 billion years of unchecked entropy - it's a chaos system, non deterministic in the wildest ways, impossibly complicated, and yet something we are getting astonishingly good at understanding and engineering.

Basically, all the biologists that started companies that were like "we can program biology like we can program computers" are bankrupt now.

On the other hand, the computer scientists that respected the nature of biology and pushed the limits of computing to develop Alphafold - giant models trained on the full complexity of biological data - finally created computer systems that could handle biological systems like protein folding at an extraordinary level of capability. They won a nobel.

Follow up question (Not OP), would alphafold more be used to experiment with an already-defined theory that you have, or could you also make some toy projects (e.g. how people make projects around trading engines).

I'm wondering if I could find a fun weekend project in alphafold just to see what it's like.

> A few years ago I submitted a full TypeScript rewrite of a text editor because I thought it would be fun. I hope the maintainers didn't read it. Sorry.

Love the transparency. To be fair, rewrites are almost impossible to review. Anything >5k diff takes at least multiple review cycles. I don't know how some maintainers do it while also working on the codebase themselves

If i could use GPT-5.2 with Claude Code - yeah. Otherwise slOpus requires too much steering to get things done. GPT-5.2 just works
ramon156 · 4 days ago
4.1 or 4.5? I did not need to steer Opus 4.5 at many points. A good description was more than enough

  Location: Delft, Netherlands NL
  Remote: Yes
  Willing to relocate: Yes
  Technologies: Rust, TypeScript/JavaScript, Golang, Ruby
  Résumé/CV: ramones (dot) dev (slash) hire-me
  Email: ramonvansprundel (ta) gmail (tod) com
I have 3+ Years of Experience as a SWE. I mostly worked with a TypeScript stack for work building Shopify platinum apps, and I've made and contributed to dozens of Rust projects (sudo-rs, nptd-rs, zed, uutils, firefox).

I'm also open to exploring new fields. I don't work well in an assembly line ticket processing setup, as this does not excite me in any way. I love diving deep into topics like memory management, architecture, solutioning and all that jazz!

I'm also available as extra man-power for cool (F)OSS projects I can help out with
