“I think I strongly recommend Jack Bridger's Scaling DevTools, as well as Turner Novak's The Peel.”
app / uses
AI News
“So that's what basically I use AI News for. I have a lot of prompts and a lot of steps and a lot of criteria and O1 just kind of checks through each kind of systematically.”
tool / built
Bolt.new
“It's funny because I built on top of the fork of Bolt.new that already has the multi LLM thing.”
other / uses
XML
“I use XML in other models as well, and it's just a really nice way to make sure that the thing that ends is tied to the thing that starts. That's the only way to do code fences where you're pretty sure example one start, example one end, that is one cohesive unit.”
app / uses
DevIn
“I used to tell people go to the DevIn demo and look at the four things that they offer and say each of those things is a startup.”
