Goal

Remake MenuGen (try app)

• Creates a graphical restaurant menu from text or image of an existing menu

The original idea is from Andrej Karpathy's 25th April 2025 blog post: https://karpathy.bearblog.dev/vibe-coding-menugen/

"You can type up a menu or upload an image of an existing menu to Nano Banana directly"

Git Worktree Troubleshooting

Issue

git is reading a bad worktree path from .git/config:

• core.worktree points at /private/var/folders/.../agents-claude-sync-g123
• that is not your current checkout at /Users/dlo/work/dennislo.github.io

So Git thinks the repo’s working tree is somewhere else, and checkout fails.

Solution

Make sure there is at least one file in it (even just the README.md)

Generate a SSH key pair (private/public):

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@example.com"

Two Reading Modes

According to Streams API, readable streams effectively operate in one of two modes: flowing and paused. A Readable stream can be in object mode or not, regardless of whether it is in flowing mode or paused mode.

1. In flowing mode, data is read from the underlying system automatically and provided to an application as quickly as possible using events via the EventEmitter interface.

2. In paused mode, the stream.read() method must be called explicitly to read chunks of data from the stream.

Flow Mode

In a flowing mode, to read data from a stream, it’s possible to listen to data event and attach a callback. When a chunk of data is available, the readable stream emits a data event and your callback executes. Take a look at the following snippet:
