Creating a Large Text File Viewer by Vibe Coding with Visual Studio Code, Cline, OpenRouter, and Claude 3.7

April 09, 2025

I just created another Windows 10/11 application using AI. This is a follow-up to the SquareCap program I posted about a few weeks ago . The problem I was trying to solve this time was opening and searching extremely large text files. I used to use the old Mandiant Highlighter program for this, but it was last updated in 2011 and couldn't handle the 26 GB text file I wanted to open. If you're wondering what that file is, it's a dump of the contents of the main Starfield.esm file from the Bethesda Game Studios game called Starfield. I use the xdump64 program bundled with xEdit. You can try this program for yourself if you like. It's a stand-alone Windows C# .NET 9 application that runs on Windows 10 and 11. Like my last program, all I did was work with the model for about 3 hours to get it to where it is now. I tried for an hour or so to implement a "highlight all search matches" function but could not get that to work. The screen cap...

Creating a Windows Application Using Visual Studio Code, Cline, OpenRouter, and Claude

March 25, 2025

I just created a Windows 10/11 application that takes square screen captures. I did zero coding myself but used Visual Studio Code, Cline, OpenRouter, and Claude. I got the idea by watching a video on so-called Vibe programming by a YouTuber named Memory . I have zero Windows programming experience although I have recently been playing with simple video game development. After creating the application I was able to use Cline to help me commit it to GitHub. You can find it at https://github.com/taosecurity/SquareSnap/ . Note that if you download the .exe Windows will complain because it is unsigned. If you worry about back doors just look at the code yourself -- or have your own LLM read it! This was just an experiment to see how these tools work. I decided to try creating a screen capture program that only takes captures in a square or 1:1 format because it's useful for social media, and especially YouTube posts. I had not found anything prior to this. This i...

Happy 22nd Birthday TaoSecurity Blog

January 08, 2025

Happy birthday TaoSecurity Blog, born on this day in 2003! The best way to digest the key lessons from this site is to browse my four volume Best of TaoSecurity Blog book series , published in 2020. It's available in print as seen here, or as a properly formatted HTML-based digital book -- none of that PDF-based fixed format nonsense. Each book is a theme-centric collection of posts with new commentary for each entry. Some of what I wrote stood the test of time, and some did not. See what you think. Or, just scroll backwards through this site. Thank you to Blogspot and Google for hosting this blog for the last 22 years! This is post number 3,086 by the way.
