Analyze a completed implementation to identify improvements for AI tooling and workflows.

When to Use

Beast Mode

Beast Mode is a custom chat mode for VS Code agent that adds an opinionated workflow to the agent, including use of a todo list, extensive internet research capabilities, planning, tool usage instructions and more. Designed to be used with 4.1, although it will work with any model.

Below you will find the Beast Mode prompt in various versions - starting with the most recent - 3.1

Installation Instructions

Go to the "agent" dropdown in VS Code chat sidebar and select "Configure Modes".
Select "Create new custom chat mode file"

Because cross-compiling binaries for Windows is easier than building natively

I want Microsoft to do better, want Windows to be a decent development platform-and yet, I constantly see Microsoft playing the open source game: advertising how open-source and developer friendly they are - only to crush developers under the heel of the corporate behemoth's boot.

The people who work at Microsoft are amazing, kind, talented individuals. This is aimed at the company's leadership, who I feel has on many occassions crushed myself and other developers under. It's a plea for help.

The source of truth for the 'open source' C#, C++, Rust, and other Windows SDKs is proprietary

You probably haven't heard of it before, but if you've ever used win32 API bindings in C#, C++, Rust, or other languages, odds are they were generated from a repository called microsoft/win32metadata.

About

This 🚧 work-in-progress 🚧 playbook for developing and delivering webinar content, with a focus on delivering live demos...

📚 Playbook

I develop the narrative, e.g. as a high-level outline, using the team as a sounding board to get feedback / inputs early on!
I try and write the least amount of code possible in the amount of time available! I can always fake it, e.g. I just started building this app, the important part is the narrative.
Pre-recorded demos are great, they buy predictability but at the cost of prolonged preparation time, and they allow me to speed up boring parts, like waiting for builds to complete.
My preference is to use ScreenFlow to screen-record my demos.

Reach UI Philosophy

Reach UI is an accessible foundation for React applications and design systems.

The three equally important goals are to be:

Accessible
Composable
Stylable

Architecture

Use Onion architecture
- Dependencies go inwards. That is, the Core domain doesn't know about outside layers
Use pipeline model to implement workflows/use-cases/stories
- Business logic makes decisions
- IO does storage with minimal logic
- Keep Business logic and IO separate
Keep IO at edges

I've been deceiving you all. I had you believe that Svelte was a UI framework — unlike React and Vue etc, because it shifts work out of the client and into the compiler, but a framework nonetheless.

But that's not exactly accurate. In my defense, I didn't realise it myself until very recently. But with Svelte 3 around the corner, it's time to come clean about what Svelte really is.

Svelte is a language.

Specifically, Svelte is an attempt to answer a question that many people have asked, and a few have answered: what would it look like if we had a language for describing reactive user interfaces?

A few projects that have answered this question:

	#!/usr/bin/env bash
	set -euo pipefail

	bold() { printf "\033[1m%s\033[0m\n" "$*"; }
	info() { printf "• %s\n" "$*"; }
	warn() { printf "\033[33m! %s\033[0m\n" "$*"; }
	err() { printf "\033[31m✗ %s\033[0m\n" "$*" >&2; }
	ok() { printf "\033[32m✓ %s\033[0m\n" "$*"; }

	Here's the open source version of my ChatGPT game MonkeyIslandAmsterdam.com.

	It's an unofficial image+text-based adventure game edition of Monkey Island in Amsterdam, my home town.

	Please use it however you want. It'd be nice to see more ChatGPT-based games appear from this. If you get inspired by it, please link back to my X https://x.com/levelsio or this Gist so more people can do the same!

	Send me your ChatGPT text adventure game on X, I'd love to try it!
