How much was AI used to help create this?


Yes, I used ChatGPT to help refine the README and occasionally get suggestions for cleaner or more efficient code patterns.

But the core logic, turbo decoding modes, and embedded optimization — that’s all written, tested, and understood by me.

I see AI as a tool, not an author — it helps speed things up, but I still do the thinking.


Right for the throat. Brutal.


The readme just looks like it was written by AI, and the initial commit is the entire code. It just seems like AI was used at least somewhat. Just curious how much, if at all.

I submitted a link to a project[0] with similar characteristics a few days ago, before I realized it was probably entirely made by AI. That's what got me wondering this in the first place.

I'm laughing so much right now, we live in truly hilarious (but also terrifying) times!


check op's post history you'll understand


It looks good, but I wanted to see a demo to see how it would all look in practice.


Okay, I'll do it soon.


I don’t see AI as a threat to programmers now or in the future — it’s just a tool. Think of programming like cutting down trees: we used to swing axes, and now we’ve got chainsaws. But even the best chainsaw won’t cut a tree on its own — it still needs the woodcutter.

AI is trained on what humans have already done. It can remix and automate, sure, but it doesn’t innovate or create like humans do — at least not yet. Reaching that level of creativity is a whole different game, and if AI ever does get there, we’ll have way bigger questions to worry about than job automation.

Bottom line: AI won’t replace us — it’ll reshape how we work. The role of the programmer will evolve, just like it has with every major shift in tools and tech.


Thing is that a company might not need 10 programmers but 1 programmer in the future for arguements shake. This is a big blow to the demand-supply ratio, especially for juniors who ve been having it quite hard already. At least i plan on staying in my company till i have become experienced enough so i wont be as threatened probably, but still makes one wonder on how much the landscape will change... And indeed conforming to the new standards is the key


Add the ability to reply to user comments.


Hello, now the design is great, you did a great job, now you can either rest or start promoting your site again. Or if you still have the strength, you can add theme customization, for example: light, dark, system, custom (the ability to customize the color of the site for yourself).

And I don't know what it's all about, but your site sometimes loads for me, sometimes it doesn't, it seems like it decides for itself when to load and when not to.


Weekdays (Monday - Friday) are best.

Thanks for the answer, I'm glad you like it. :)

Your observation is appropriate, I didn't notice the error in my project's output, apparently I accidentally put "Photo", wrote "Phono".

I know you don't need the project, but if you want, you can star my repository to support me.


> apparently I accidentally put "Photo", wrote "Phono"

I wondered if that could be the case. But then it’s in the repo name and the README, so I thought I was the one not understanding it.


Fair point! XID targets niche scenarios where its properties shine: 1. Resource-constrained environments (IoT/embedded) where UUIDs are too heavy 2. Offline systems needing collision resistance without coordination 3. Debuggability - timestamp extraction avoids DB lookups for audit trails 4. Zero-dependency projects (OS kernels, bootloaders, firmware)

It’s not for every use case, but fills gaps where UUIDv4/Snowflake can’t go. Curious what specific problems you’re solving where it feels less useful?


What do you think?


As for advice, of course I don't know for sure if it's better this way, but it seems to me that you have a lot of files that are ~2kb each, have you thought about merging some of them for easier readability of the project?


Hey, thanks for looking into the code and thanks for your feedback! I will merge some files and hope it will be easier to read


Great project, I love all these things,I also gave your repository a star, I hope you will have 1000 of them someday, you really add to the capabilities of the terminal, I'm also interested in this, if you want, check out my project too:

https://github.com/Ferki-git-creator/phono-in-terminal-image...

I don't want to seem greedy, but if you want, you can also star the repository, so that all our terminal projects can see the world!
