Wow thanks for the info about the toniebox reverse engineering!

My kids got offer a toniebox this year, and when discovering the product I was so upset about this locked and privacy nightmare I brought it back to the seller for a refund and started to look for alternatives (got time, still very young). Will check it out!

What are you talking about? "I hate him"? He literally learnt how to build an interactive electronic toy for his children and then put in the effort to share it online. You didn't even take the time to read it because he talks about the Toniebox at the very start of article.

So he used AI to do the write up? He also references paying in Euros so English is probably not his first language. I think you need to calm down and critically examine your priorities.

Why the gatekeeping? It’s their choice how they spend their time and tokens, and nobody is forced to use it.

As long as they had fun and enjoyed the process, that’s what counts. Enterprise software deployment is a different story, of course.

I loved the article. This is a project I've been wanting to do myself.

Fast dopamin? Did you read the article? I did. I think he mentions spending 3 months on this. Going from zero to hero on a project like this failed on 3 attempts, because figuring stuff out from forums alone is just way too hard.

Sorry man, but I really don't see your problem. A guy made something and wrote an article about making it. Did LLMs help? Yes, he's quite open about that. So what?!

TFA mentions this product in the first paragraph and how much the product sucks as the whole motivation for the project.
