That’s what I have and love it. I have M(N+1) envy but I remind myself that my machine runs great. And it’s paid for.

My son takes the methylphenidate / guanfacine combo as well and it’s been a game changer.

For the in-crowd the law protects but does not bind. For the out-crowd, the law binds but does not protect. Can’t remember where I read that but it has stuck with me.

Having small mini-pcs in my basement and a couple of Cloudflare tunnels and Tailscale has been awesome. Made me realize that I've gotten used to paying for software that is free because someone else was hosting. But now I host it and

I am constantly asking Claude to be more terse/brief/ELI5. Improve using the tool. But if I have to scroll to read the output I just can’t follow it. If I see a long paragraph and I know the author is Neal Stephenson I think “this

I totally hear you on that, but for my one off apps (and even some of my not one off apps) if I can't implement a feature in a PWA, I just learn to live without that feature.

That’s what that was. I thought someone there screwed up an image path.

Yeah. That was it. I remembered it wrong (you use chatGPT which I admit, has better voice interaction). I use claude code and type it all. Most of the time for walks/runs I just let my thoughts go whenever. But that's just me.

If you are using Claude code, disable recaps.

Somebody here posted about a Socratic method skill for Claude (or whatever your LLM of choice is). I’ve found this to be fantastic. Dropped in a dense PDF about Linear Algebra, Postgres (those are the two I’ve gotten into so far). It’s b

We had 3pm coffee club at a previous job. It was great. Had our own slack channel(public). As the minutes counted down people would post gifs counting down (/giphy 4, /giphy 3). Most of the dev team would go. We’d go a heavy coffe

Same article was written about the proliferation of the Sony Walkman back in the 80s. Same article was written about newspapers on trains. File under “new thing is bad.”

I didn't promote a product. I was showing that low sports radio shows aren't really any better than easy to make AI podcasts that cover the same topics. Just tried and true host personas (the over reactor, the crank seen it all

I mean, not really? I did make it. Thought it would be interesting. Is that I mentioned the name of a company I used?

I've used JWTs for a number of server to server interactions and they are amazing for what they are. I've also told many a front end team member to NOT use them.
