That’s been my experience. LLMs excel at languages that are popular. JavaScript and Python are two great examples.

I built this tutorial repo that gets you started building a webchat. Feel free to take it and use it to build your own. It includes LLM context management, SSE for status progress, and backend calendar integration via Block APIs.

I’ve been building automation tools for small businesses and hit a recurring pain point: every booking platform has a totally different API (if it even has one).

So I’m experimenting with a universal booking API: a single JSON interface that lets developers book, cancel, and check availability across many systems (starting with Vagaro, Mindbody, and Fresha).

Under the hood it’s a mix of native APIs and AI-assisted browser automation that handles login states, 2FA, and DOM drift. The goal is to make booking as portable as payments (think Stripe, but for scheduling).

Right now I’m validating demand. If you’ve ever had to build or maintain integrations with scheduling software, I’d love your feedback. What would make an API like this genuinely useful (or trustworthy) for you?

Vagaro, Housecall Pro, Fresha, Zenoti to name a few

These are usually purchased by the business owner to run their core business then they but add on features for marketing, review management, etc.

I can’t comment on whether the PMs are doing their job, but I’ve been building on my own for almost a year now. Working directly with the end user is what motivates me and it’s very eye opening. A lot of engineering thought can miss without guidance. Some experience is always worthwhile.

While it’s pretty clear that shows like Paw Patrol, Super Wings, and others are built around toys. The article never made it clear why this was bad. The shows still have to be interesting and entertaining to be watched by kids. I personally like Paw Patrol and others for the little lessons learned along the way. This is coming from a parent of a 2.5 year old.

Tried to read on mobile (iOS) but the second code block, maybe called state management, is clipped and not readable.

WeChat for Windows has a shortcut (alt-a) to instantly bring up a cursor to snip a portion of the screen and annotate it with text and shapes. It’s super handy for quickly marking some code or a segment in a doc.

Sounds like you’d enjoy an R5RS scheme. Minimal syntax goes a long way. Unused variables throwing exceptions definitely seems like an over accumulation of technical debt.

I live in Beijing, and they seem to work well. It may help that they are ubiquitous. Or that drivers are used to seeing cyclists (and scooters) everywhere.
