Hey MGK... quick question... is there an advanced clipboard app you use?

I find myself having soooooo many copy pastes that I re-use, and I don't think putting them in a .txt file and opening the file over and over to add and copy paste is very efficient with time... soooo... is there an advanced clipboard app that is considered the best? Free would be nice!
I do well with one clipboard... not sure wtf you've got going on.

If you're still overloading your clipboard you are doing something wrong.



Anyway, that said, guys today I went thro a lil experiment to see what someone that cant code may be up against here..

Jesus christ.

So if I can give you all some advice,

1. Choose a Specific Tech Stack
If you’re regularly working on web projects, pick a particular technology stack and stick with it. Constantly switching stacks can add unnecessary complexity. For example, I use the TALL stack because it aligns well with my daily work. However, whether you prefer React, Vue, or another framework, consistency will help streamline your development process.

2. Use Iterative Prompting Instead of Extended Conversations
When working with AI for coding assistance, it’s more effective to reset and refine your prompt rather than continuing a long conversation that builds on previous errors. In my experiment, I encountered an issue with a video source - in a conversation describing errors one by one, the codebase bloated exponentially, for zero fuckin reason.

—in one instance reducing a bloated 356 lines of code down to just 6 lines after refactoring by hand. - that code was super expensive for no good reason also, just trying to battle a bug that actually did not exists, was just the AI being fucking stupid. ( confused 2 video sources in the same code )

God speed!
