off-topic: You made both the redis and dump1090? I recognized your handle but not why, so i googled it, and dump1090 came up; i've used both.

on-topic: I have no desire to be a front-end dev but my friends don't know a front-end dev from a front-end loader, so whenever they need something thrown together i usually reach for Ghost or whatever. But now they want custom "web apps" - and that's fine, thank goodness for AI.

Most of my "LLM" use is remembering phrases, terms of art, and the like. I have used aider and Cursor, and they're about as useful to me as stackoverflow, i suppose. LLMs have definitely improved a lot, i don't get circular chats much except on Gemini, Gemini is the weakest LLM by far, which is ironic considering the extent of data they have.

Indeed! I'm the original author of both projects, and thank you for using them :) I agree about Gemini, but I understand the sentiment is not widespread. For me the strongest LLM for coding is Claude Sonnet.
