Initial thoughts about TanStack AI, and its positioning vs Vercel's AI SDK: Framing I like that they are pushing 'no vendor lock-in' in their blog post (that's how all AI libs should be). But I think they're subtly benefiting from the impression that all Vercel libraries (i.e.

No questions, let's go. The hack from @mattpocockuk to tell Claude to ask for unresolved questions during planning is gold.

Also I just wrote evals for software I wrote using software I wrote Having a good day
Personal software is INSANE in the age of AI I use mine to: - Manage my course videos/material - Use AI to help me write accompanying text - Use AI to transcribe my videos WHILE RECORDING Folks who know how to build have a crazy advantage
