- Agreed. When building an app that sends email, bcc-ing yourself is an unreasonably effective logging mechanism.
- Just listened to the first suite. The Menuet was soulful and haunting. The Gigue was fierce and fascinating in contrast to Yo Yo Ma’s. I felt a profound sense of “there’s not enough time left in life to fully appreciate this piece of music.” Thank you for sharing.
- I’m listening to this now for the first time now. Somehow I had never heard of him. Thank you. I sense this music will be with me for a long time.
- I love this so much, as someone who tends to listen to a single piece of music on repeat (especially while coding) and has spent a lot of time with Yo-Yo Ma's "Six Evolutions".
Loved learning about the deep diversity of recordings from other artists, the ambiguous history of the music, and that there's a question if the music was even originally written for a cello!
Also loved that the site recommends different recordings based on the mood of interpretation.
This all reminds me of the HN favorite, "Reality has a lot of detail." Feel like I just discovered fractal complexity in a piece of music I naively thought I knew well.
- This seems super reasonable.

- One of my favorite AI How-tos in the last year. Barry and Erik spend 80% of the post saying ~”eh, you probably don’t need agents. Just build straightforward deterministic workflows with if-statements instead.”
And then, when you actually do need agents, don’t over complicate it!
This post also introduced the concept of an Augmented LLM — a LLM hooked up to tools, memory, data — which is a useful abstraction for evolving LLM use beyond fancy autocomplete.
“An augmented LLM running in a loop” is the best definition of an agent I’ve heard so far.
- I have ADHD, and my daughter was recently diagnosed as well.
Been reflecting on this post as it's been soaking up the front page for the last 24 hours.
I want to commend you for shipping maybe the perfect HN post:
- Personal Journey
- Old school hardware
- DIY software
- Productivity hack
- Great title
- Quantified results (2-3x productivity) over non-trivial duration (few months)
- A low-effort offline solution that delivers real value for the 98% who will never build the thing
- Great polish on the reading experience with lots of little details
- Effective call to action (subscribe to get the software in a few weeks)
You inspired me to get my organization back on track. After researching receipt printers for 30 minutes, I realized what I actually need is to dust off the system that has worked for me in the past. But I'm picking up some post-its today and my daughter and I are going to try implementing your system for her over the weekend.
Thank you for putting the time into this!
