Multiple bot accounts have been boosting the #UIbakery name on reddit for the last month, and mentioning competitors to try and damage their name.

Which vibe-coding tool or model is best at replicating a UI from an image? I tested 7 different ones with the same image and prompt.
The surprising part wasn't the winner. I learned something else new about prompting, that I wasn't even testing for.

I got tired of copy/pasting websites into #ChatGPT just to ask a quick question, so this weekend I built a Chrome extension to chat with webpages directly, using a #Pinecone Assistant!

Integrated with the #SEC API recently, and nearly every step of the way had some sort of difference from most #REST APIs.
Researched each diff, and it turns out there are some very valid reasons for these choices that seem hell-bent on ruining your weekend project

Tested out @neo4j.com 's MCP server this weekend with #Claude Desktop. Here's a quick guide on generating knowledge graphs from unstructured text using the Neo4j #MCP.

This weekend I tested out Railway for hosting Python scripts, and built a Discord bot using a Pinecone assistant to add AI chat with RAG. Railway was easy to set up and deploy from GitHub, and the bot was only about 60 lines of code.

Fun weekend project, building a local API to create #Markdown files from #LLM responses. I used a #Python script to call #Ollama, and then #FastAPI for Markdown CRUD. Everything is done from the Mac terminal.

For #StarWars Day last weekend, I used the Star Wars API and #Neo4j to generate a knowledge graph showing all the planets and species related to the first 3 films.
I wrote a quick guide on how to convert the API JSON to a cypher query, here:

I love this #guitar so much I bought it TWICE (accidentally). Played one at a guitar store in MO while traveling, didn't have room to get it so I tried ordering on ebay later. Lost 2 bids, then bid on 2 more and won both! Had to cancel one order. Still my favorite guitar. 6 str baritone #LTD
Spent the weekend learning how to use models from Hugging Face in Ollama, and generate a knowledge graph in Neo4j.

I spent almost a week in #vegas and didn’t gamble once, except for that chili dog at the airport. Had a blast at #googlecloudnext, demoing @appsmith.com agents, and at @meowwolf.com Area15!
𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑷𝒊 𝑫𝒂𝒚! Here's a few pie charts generated in Appsmith using Zendesk data and an OpenAI Assistant to create visualizations using ECharts. This makes it easy to generate data visualizations from natural language!
Whelp, I seem to have drummed my drums apart. I've undrumt them.
It feels like it too... 🥁
Trying to get back into #guitar. I've been playing drums so much that I hardly pick up the guitar anymore.

Having fun with the FLUX.1 model using @replicate.com! It took about 20 minutes to fine-tune the model on 10 photos of me, and now I can consistently generate images with my face from a prompt in just over a minute! Here's a sample using the source_image property and a few images from #biglebowski
PostgreSQL with Supabase or Neon hosting.
12 days of hot sauces from Torchbearer. Pretty sure it’s gonna take me for than 12 days to finish! Number one was excellent! Son of Zombie wing sauce. Plenty of heat and a nice Smokey flavor.
This cat has serious meme potential.
Gonna record another test later today to see how much the lighting helps. Here's the first test I did after building it.

Productive morning upgrading the lightboard with wheels, video lighting, monitor mount, and a power strip. Now I can see the recording from my side of the glass without causing a glare. Also blocked out the window so I can record during the day.
Just cancelled a 16 y/o Verizon account and switched to
@t-moblie.bsky.social. Verizon wanted $35/5Gb for data over the imaginary limit on an UNLIMITED plan, during a hurricane, when our power and internet was out for a full week. Feels good to stop giving my money to Verizon.
Whenever you hit the limits of the native #FileMakerPro, chances are there's a workaround using a web viewer and the right #JavaScript library. I needed a way to extract JSON without hosting the file. Hacked together a web viewer with Papa Parse.

Same. I started out solo, but used 'we' on my website, for the same reason. But then I started working with other contractors and freelancers, so now it makes sense to keep using 'we'. I ended up restructuring my business so I could hire employees directly, but so far it just occasional contractors.
