At this point, I wish Anthropic would drop both Haiku and Opus and focus on offering just Sonnet + Fable. Those two together are extremely powerful and capable. Sonnet is great at writing code, it is not great at planning or orchestrating.

It's easy to take that stance in jest .. when it has no material impact on you. But if your life was uprooted by the decision of an executive because they made what was a "good faith" decision for the benefit of the sharehold

User's care about privacy when they understand the threat and impact. The issue is most user's don't understand this, especially when it comes to use of products like Meta where on the surface, everything appears harmless.

I don't have a fancy workflow per se, but I have started leaning into git workspaces more which has really been a boon with Elixir (especially in large projects where compile times can be in the many tens of seconds).

Opus 4.5 with Elixir has been remarkably good for me. I've been writing Elixir in production since ~2018 and it continues to amaze me at the quality of code it produces. I've been tweaking my skills to avoid nested cases, better u

For me, the editor is still the most important component of my tooling. The AI features are secondary to my needs/wants when it comes to an editor. Zed is hitting all the checkboxes when it comes to performance and user experience (yea

It's not perfect/ideal, but you can basically accomplish keyword filtering using a shortcut powered by a message automation. I've done something similar where during the political season I would have all incoming texts (from

But that is unfortunately a nuclear option that should not need to be taken to perform such a thing. Like the op, I have no interest in Shorts, especially considering the type of content that seems to proliferate that format. However, I fee

This is available in iOS 26 to all applications; it's available directly to the user through shortcuts. I'm currently on the beta, and I have a shortcut that pulls in various bits of context and feeds that directly to the on-devic

I treat them kind of like icons/emoji, which often don't have a lot of fidelity due to size constraints.

I've been downloading them to my iPhone and converting a number of them to stickers, which can be used identically to emoji in iMessage.
