- Thorsten Ball tl;dr: “For the longest time, I thought Instruments on macOS wasn’t for me. Whenever I saw its icon show up in the /Applications folder or pop up in a launcher, I assumed it’s part of Xcode and Xcode is an IDE for Objective-C and Swift programmers and that’s not what I do and that’s why Instruments isn’t for me. I was wrong.” Thorsten discusses how he uses Instruments as a productivity tool with anything.featured in #534

How To Build Anything Extremely Quickly
tl;dr: (1) Make an outline of the project. (2) For each item in the outline, make an outline. Do this recursively until the items are small. (3) Fill in each item as fast as possible. Do not perfect as you go. This is a huge and common mistake. (4) Finally, once completely done, go back and perfect.featured in #523

Notes On How To Use LLMs In Your Product
- Will Larson tl;dr: “I’ve been working fairly directly on meaningful applicability of LLMs to existing products for the last year, and wanted to type up some semi-disorganized notes. These notes are in no particular order, with an intended audience of industry folks building products.” Will discusses opportunities re-configuration, combining LLMs with unsophisticated algorithms to retrieve data. And more.featured in #505
Developing Rapidly With Generative AI
- Shannon Phu tl;dr: From the engineering team at Discord: “We break down the process of building with LLMs into a few stages. Starting with product ideation and defining requirements, we first need to figure out what we’re building and how it can benefit users. Next, we develop a prototype of our idea, learn from small-scale experiments, and repeat that process until our feature is in a good state. Finally, we fully launch and deploy our product at scale. In this post, we will dive deeper into each stage of this process.”featured in #505
