My Neovim + AI workflow is running Neovim (LazyVim) and Claude Code side by side in a terminal split. As the agent makes changes, I review them in Neogit. I don't really make edits…

I think food quality is real and the same foods from certain stores taste better and make me feel better than from other stores. So I usually pick my food based on brand/store rath…

I've seen this at work. Giving Claude Code to a mediocre programmer gets you mediocre results. The really effective engineers with coding agent can accomplish a lot. Thousand monke…

Xcode is abysmal on a large codebase. Freezes constantly on operations. The most useful features stall the entire program, things like: test navigator, quick open files, debugger, …

I've been using claude on two codebases, one with good layering and clean examples, the other not so much. I get better output from the LLM with good context and clean examples and…

Happy user of spaceship prompt for zsh: https://spaceship-prompt.sh , and, among other things, it runs repo status asynchronously.

> I really don’t think there’s a coherent pro-genAI case to be made in the education context My own personal experience is that Gen AI is an amazing tool to support learning, when …

I don't think LLMs replace thinking, but rather elevate it. When I use an LLM, I’m still doing the intellectual work, but I’m freed from the mechanics of writing. It’s similar to p…

I've been using LLMs as learning tools rather than simply answer generators. LLMs can teach you a lot by guiding your thinking, not replacing it. It's been valuable to engage with …

> OpenAI was last valued at $157 billion in October, when it raised $6.6 billion. A near-doubling of its value in just a few months would be extraordinary even by the standards of …

There must something different between corn syrup and sucrose. I have a corn intolerance where corn and corn byproducts trigger a migraine type headache. I assume there must be cor…

Next we'll need dolphin unions. This is actually the sub-plot of the John Scalzi novel "Starter Villain".

+1 Watch the talk to the very end. It’s great.

My uncle was career officer in the Army and told me once that the M16, with its smaller faster bullet would wound the enemy, compared to the AK47 with its large slow bullet would k…

I started skateboarding two years ago in my backyard and this year I started skating at my local skatepark. I'm all padded up for safety and even use hip pads. It's a very fun and …

I have used hover for over a decade. Clean and straight forward interface. Free private whois. Never had a single issue so I highly recommend.

The book “The Non-Designers Design Book” is very good. This is where the acronym CRAP comes from, which is Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity.

I use bear.app and love the simplicity but is versatile enough to all my uses cases. It only runs on Apple platforms, so maybe a deal breaker. It seems similar to Obsidian, so mayb…

CloudFront is only more expensive for the first 400GB. Netlify's bandwidth is $0.20/GB after the 400GB mark compared to CloudFront's $0.085/GB.

For some people (myself included) Game/TV addiction is a real problem and can have drastic affects on ones life. (It did for me throughout my 20s/30s). For others it doesn't seem t…

Wait the article doesn’t mention Adobe XD which is Adobe’s UI design tool that competes with Figma and Sketch. XD is great for my needs and with frequent updates it is always impro…

I exercise 5 days a week for 30 minutes right after my day job ends. I'm WFH so and have weights and stationary bike in my office, so it's easy to jump onto.

> do you immediately start coding? What is the morning ritual? I wake up, get dressed in the dark, and go downstairs where I immediately start coding. I leave all the lights off an…

Yes I share a bed and I use the iPhone built in alarm on lowest volume and typically silence it within seconds.

I wake up at 4am everyday to work on a personal project for 2 hours or so. Once the house wakes up I wrap things up. I had to adjust my bedtime to accommodate waking up so early. I…
