I've been building a flutter django app around sharing and using checklists.

I use it myself by iterating on checklists and then tracking my usage of them and recently added orgs for privately shared checklists.

So it's easy to create an org around a shared task and then create a run through that task and track.

I've been working on a task tracking app called Checkipe (https://checkipe.com but right now it's invite only for me and family members).

It's been fun to use it as I bring it to life.

A Django backend and flutter front end makes for a pretty powerful and adaptable pair.

Often on HN the comments are a better read than the original article.

This time the article is so good -- clear, funny, succinct, accurate -- that it's a better read than the comments.

Project Euler was what I used to get comfortable with my two main languages -- first python and then rust.

I loved to solve it and then look through all the different solutions and find pretty ideas and idioms.

Sounds like we need either a viable alternative or a next thing.

The next thing will probably be AR glasses and we could use some alternatives to Meta and Google and Apple.

Gardening automation :-D

If a friend told me they liked Rust but didn't like the borrow checker, I'd probably point them to Gleam and Moonbit, which both seem awesome in their own niches.

Both have rust-like flavor and neither has a borrow checker.

Someone should create a DAG of programming languages with edges denoting contextual influence and changes in design and philosophy, such that every time a PL is critized for a feature (or lack thereof), the relevant alternatives exactly considering this would be readily available. It could even have a great interactive visualization.

I can't really get over Gleam's position that nobody really needs type-based polymorphism, real programmers write their own vtables by hand.

(It also needs some kind of reflection-like thing, either compile-time or runtime, so that there can be an equivalent of Rust's Serde, but at least they admit that that needs doing.)

Get more done, better, and in less time.

I help companies automate critical workflows, helping them accomplish their work more quickly, reliably, enjoyably, and correctly.

All the most useful techniques are on the table including task analysis and evaluation, traditional coding, and ai.
