• OK tell the truth, what is the most number of times you misjudged the amount of wood you need for a project, and had to go get more? More than 3?

  i'm trying to figure out how much wood I need to buy for my next project. can't use cutlistoptimizer.com because it does only sheet goods and I want linear (just boards). Anybody know of an optimizer for that? Source: over 3 years ago

• Project cut list at lumber yard?

  I use http://cutlistoptimizer.com/ and it works well. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Hardest project to date...super proud of this built in closet

  I used cutlistoptimizer.com I highly recommend it. I also increase the kerf size to give me more tolerance to make sure I can rough cut it with a circular saw before I tidy those edges on the table saw. Source: about 4 years ago

• ISO Plans for a unit like this

  I use sites like cut list optimizer to help reduce wastage of materials once I have the size I want a piece to be. Maybe that would help? Source: about 4 years ago

• Best way of planning cuts to use the least amount of waste

  If you have a big project with lots of plywood, cutlistoptimizer.com is great. If you're working mostly in solid lumber, I do it just like you: put your cuts in a list and start dividing them into boards. It usually doesn't take that long, and sometimes there are other considerations that will make any lumber list irrelevant. Maybe a certain piece needs to be knot-free, or knot-free in the last 6", or whatever.... Source: about 4 years ago

• The most popular AI coding skills right now

  GStack is Garry Tan's Claude Code setup, and at nearly 110,000 stars it is one of the most popular skill collections out there. Instead of one mode that handles everything, it gives the agent distinct roles, each behind its own slash command. It has product vision, designer, engineering manager, release manager, doc engineer, QA, and post-launch retrospective. It is the same genre as Superpowers, a full workflow,... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• GStack: Turn Claude Code Into a Full Engineering Team

  That is the design. And it is why GStack — Garry Tan's open-source Claude Code skill setup — has accumulated 82,700 stars and 12,000 forks on GitHub since its March 2026 launch. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• The YC President Endorsed an AI Memory System With Fake Benchmarks. He Also Shipped His Own. We Read the Code.

  This is not the first time. Tan's previous project, gstack, has amassed over 69,000 GitHub stars. Developer Mo Bitar described it as "a bunch of prompts in a folder." Another founder noted that without the YC title, it would not have made Product Hunt. A developer who examined Tan's AI-generated website code found 78,400 lines including empty CSS files, duplicate assets, and test files shipped to production. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• CFFBRW went from drag-and-drop to "hey AI, just deploy this for me"

  And I believe any builder should use Gstack from Garry Tan. Old news I know, but for people who live under a rock like I do. - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
