We searched for other IDEs that would be simple to use, allow easy import of Arduino libraries, and upload the code on the board. I wanted something of the like of Atom editor, but it was not supported on Raspberry Pi (and deprecated now). We found that PlatformIO could be an option. It is a plugin in VSCode that can manage many type of boards. We went ahead, installed VScode, then the PlatformIO extension. We opened a terminal in VScode with Q chat, and voila! Valentin could finally continue to play with a more stable solution. He had a simple way to code, compile, and push code on the Arduino.

Project mention: Show HN: ViperIDE – An Innovative MicroPython IDE for Web and Mobile | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-30
This is super cool, and I love the old school tech stack. It makes for a very approachable codebase and a fast user experience.
As a reminder given the recent polyfill io attack, don't use public CDN hosted JS filed without also setting SRI attributes. It's a marginal perf benefit because the cache is partitioned by top level domains now and it opens you up to attacks from the CDN owners.

As a bonus set CSP headers and a nonce when you can, but definitely set SRI on any 3p scripts.

Project mention: The Unreasonable Effectiveness of an LLM Agent Loop with Tool Use | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-15
The default chat interface is the wrong tool for the job.
The LLM needs context.
https://github.com/marv1nnnnn/llm-min.txt
The LLM is a problem solver but not a repository of documentation. It still needs to look that up like human developers.
You could use o3 and ask it to search the web for documentation and read that first but it's not efficient. The proper LLM coding assistant tools manage the context properly.
