Seeing this makes me want to dust off my ESP32 and some addressable LEDs. Always wanted to build something similar.

Remember this one? Felt like it was trying a bit too hard to be 'meta' back then. Definitely a product of its time.

Ah, SAML. The protocol where every vendor implements it slightly differently, ensuring endless configuration headaches.

Hope this means less friction for EU/AU tech companies. Navigating different privacy laws is a pain.

LLMs hand people confident-sounding answers in domains they can't judge. The problem isn't the model being wrong, it's that the person can't tell.

Sometimes you can tell though even if you don't understand the code. E.g. if AI makes a game, just play it. Sometimes code doesn't have to be 100% bug free and in fact humans can't achieve that anyway.

I've been using Astra a lot recently and it's really mad good. If you are currently in the "I'm still better than AI" camp (which I was until now) it might change your mind.
