Frontpage, Dreamviewer, flash, photoshop lol. We are old.

and Pagemill and Sitemill. At Bell Canada we had a very early web dev team in '94-'95. At one point pagemill came out and we could hire mostly non technical designers to build web pages. At the time it seemed like magic. We didn't need to have someone who grokked vi standing next to a designer all the time. But the HTML pagemill spat out was horrid. It always added a space to the end of link text and never closed list item elements. I eventually wrote a command line tool that fixed pagemill's output because some of our other tools really didn't like the flavour of HTML-inspired slop it emitted. *

And then I moved to the bay area and noticed there was a road called Page Mill Rd. in Palo Alto and sort of laughed for a bit. Surprised Adobe didn't release a tool called Sandhill.

[*] to be fair, most WYSIWYG page builder tools of the era spat out some sort of crappy subset of HTML, so not trying to say pagemill was the only offender.


Re: Sandhill. This literally sounds like BNR humour circa '94.

Same. I’ve lived in Claude Code since the beta release and last couple of weeks was horrible. I’ve been using codex for last couple of days and it’s much smarter than 4.6.


It worked. Although I have a Claude Code subscription, I got the ChatGPT Pro plan, and 5.4 xHigh at 1.5x speed was better than 4.6 with adaptive thinking disabled. I was working all day, about 8 hours, and did not run into any limits. 5.4 surprised me many times by doing things I usually would not do myself, because I am lazy, so yeah, I am sticking with 5.4 for now until all the Claude drama is over.


Absolutely right! You must be fun at parties .


This has been my experience too.


Have any of you heard of map reduce


Looks good. I’ll give it a try.


Or CLI.


I used Claude in chrome and Claude Code. It did everything for me.


Anyone who has all three and found iPad still useful? I’m mostly on my MacBook and use iPhone when I’m not on my MacBook, or Apple TV.


Agreed. I removed it.
