It's great. I tried using it to optimize a tweet, but it generated too many emojis. So I told it not to generate too many emojis, and this time the result was quite satisfactory.

It runs in a sandbox, each session lasting ten minutes, and the session is cleared after a page refresh.

However, after using it twice, it threw an error: "Failed to initialize sandbox: HTTP 500: Please refresh the page to try again."


I love the "Claude Code Psychosis" framing. That loop is real. I also once spent an entire afternoon engrossed in Cursor, creating a small tool. AI truly brings technology and people closer, allowing everyone to create.


I think I know the prompt words you used.

Write an emotional Reddit/forum post from a programmer who's devastated by being accused of using AI. Requirements:

- Make it feel raw and unedited - add typos like "jsut", "teh", "waht" scattered throughout

- No paragraph breaks, one continuous stream of consciousness

- Start vulnerable, mention sitting for hours, shaking hands

- Include specific technical details (Rust, borrow checker, lifetimes, 41 GitHub repos)

- Build to the "AI slop" accusation as the central wound

- Use a powerful metaphor (like training for a marathon)

- Show physical symptoms of anxiety/crying

- End with determination despite the pain

- Make it feel like they're typing through tears

- Accidentally cut off mid-sentence at the end

- Use lowercase "i" to seem too distressed for proper grammar


That was not very nice.


uh firstly ive turned off my gboards settings for auto caps cause it made i I which pisses me lff and secondly typos are cause my abs screen is huge and cant reach my fingers perfectly across


I feel this is the wrong business direction. If you do it well, at most you'll only save on the salary of an administrative assistant, but they actually want much more, and this small improvement won't attract their attention.


I get the concern if the value is framed as “replacing an admin assistant”, but for many founders, the real win isn’t salary savings, it’s eliminating context switching, follow-ups, and mental overhead around coordination. As well as eliminating the mistakes that can be made by humans. Even small logistics can disproportionately drain attention. If done well, this is less about cost reduction and more about reclaiming focus and execution speed.


This post is from 2012, but it's still very useful. Thanks for sharing.
