As an aside, check out Jason's podcast (codewithjason.com) - its pretty good.

The latest one is with "Uncle Bob Martin" who has some interesting takes on coding with AI from .... can I say an oldie?

Just looked it up! Gonna give it a listen on my drive this morning.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!

What is an example of a site with a good llm.txt?

Anthropic's developer documentation: https://platform.claude.com/llms.txt. There's also https://platform.claude.com/llms-full.txt which is (WARNING) much bigger. Not sure where this second one fits into the standard.

Mintlify generates an llms.txt and llms-full.txt for all documentation sites. These work really well:

- https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/llms.txt

- https://cloud.laravel.com/docs/llms-full.txt

Nice. I'm working on a project called homestocompare to help people house-hunting in the UK.

Would be nice to add this as an extra data point when comparing. Are you open to collaborating at all?

Absolutely! I have some other datasets that might be useful too (e.g. air quality). Drop me a line: ruaraidh[at]southlondonscientific.com :)

Great, thanks - I'll drop you a line.

Let me know if you’d like access to alt net availability data

Sorry, not sure what you mean by "alt net availability"

Crikey, the laptop actually arrived!!!

For me that is absolutely stunning. Dude I would give you a big hug if I could.

While the comments are suggesting this story is about a disaster it feels like a massive feel-good story. I don't think anyone here will understand but there are tears in my eyes right now!

I grew up in Ghana in the 80s and I can pretty much guarantee that a package that looked possibly slightly valuable would no way go more than 2 steps in the postal system then.

I know that was decades ago and Uganda might be completely different but this story is still messing with my head in a way I can't explain.

My saddest interaction recently was with a friend with a 1st class degree in computing and several years experience in software engineering in many prestigious companies.

I asked if he had tried out Claude code or anything similar. His answer: My company has scheduled a training course in that so I'll wait

:(

So sad indeed, a man is left out in the cold waiting for his turn to receive a stochastic-brain-implant-as-a-service.

It's hard to detect sarcasm these days but in case you're being serious, not everybody will share your feelings.

He is serious. He has an AI company with a vibe coded website.

All positive comments here come from the financially invested or the near-retirement people who need cognitive assistance and are willing to sell out future generations.

> in many prestigious companies

That's the hint. Most companies >50 employees suck.

Bold claim. I have the opposite experience. On this site I imagine most folks will agree with you, but there are a lot of folks who choose to work at larger companies over small ones.

I have worked for enterprise companies all my life, they are all a horrible mess of people trying to play 4d chess to get a promotion and look good. They do offer better life / work balance, so if you are not a workaholic like the startup / SF crowd, then its actually a decent job. Just remember to enjoy the life outside the office, with people that are not from the office and you will be fine.

It’s sad to you that they have a life outside of work?

It's the VC mind rot, the only thing that matters in life is working apparently. A sad existence indeed but you need a cohort to exploit if you're gonna make the next unicorn for cashing out.

I don't get what's sad about that

This site really has become a parody of itself.

I wonder why there isn't much for real estate in this package.

Are they perhaps working on a totally different real estate project. I am in that space and very nervous about it getting wiped out by anthropic or openAI.

To be honest, I am not sure why they still haven't make a big play for that industry.

The biggest issue in the real estate world is dealing with local state, county, and municipality governments and each one's unique ordinances, etc. While I think LLMs will be great at pulling data from a variety of disparate sources (ie, records databases), or even automating interacting with them, they are not going to be great at solving the problem whose solution is "this is the person in the county court clerks office you need to talk to."

I’d guess they have some kind of analytics telling them what kind of questions are being asked.

It seems to me that heavily gate kept professions/knowledge will go first. As those tend to be extensive opinions to get.

It would be silly to assume they're not making a real estate product, lol.

Does anyone know if it will affect emdash (an attempt by cloudflare to build an alternative to wordpress - launched on April first this year)?

To be fair, his Midas touch is a result of consistency and a lot of hard work.

It's like the gardener at one of the Oxford colleges said - it's really easy to create these perfect lawns, just turn up every day and trim and water it - for a couple hundred years.

I thought they rolled it as well?

As always with people: listen to what they say, not to what they do...

After all, they rarely do what they say themselves, so it's surely not entirely made up nonsense!

I'm quite excited at the prospect of EmDash from cloudflare unseating Wordpress - especially for creating real estate websites.

I adapted my open source ruby on rails real estate website builder to work with EmDash and can already see a lot of potential.

It's not ready for production use yet but I'm really enjoying working on it:

I buy this argument

I for one have found myself happily spending hundreds of dollars trying to build things I struggled to do in the past. And I am happy to keep things open source because I know the code is no longer the moat.

As an example, I started this almost 10 years ago:

https://github.com/RealEstateWebTools/property_web_scraper

I the past 4 days I have added more functionality to it that I ever did in all the time before.
