Quickly solving little problems with code is one of the things I love the most about AI coding.
I have an
@amazon fire tv (65” tv with fire tv built in) and, like every Amazon device that I’ve ever owned, it’s an underpowered dog to the point that it’s almost unusable at times. Apps stay running after you use them, so over time it gets slower and slower. I have an app on the TV that lets me force close other apps, but it’s a pain to do that because you have to manually tell it to force close each app individually and then wait 20-30 seconds per app before it closes. Last night I saw that kimi k2.5 was free in
@opencode, so I decided to have it try building an app to manage this using adb (android debug bridge) to send commands to the TV. A few minutes later I had an app that did what I wanted. I prompted 2-3 more times to perfect it, and now I have an app to help with this problem that has been a weekly annoyance for years!
(Oh no, I leaked my TV’s IP address 🙄)
