    If Jujutsu had become popular a couple of years earlier, it might have had a chance to catch on. I worry that it missed the most critical training window for AI and we may be locke…

    nice concept! Beads did not age all that well, and Claude doesn't really want to use it since the TodoList upgrade. Do you have any tricks for getting Claude to use guardrails effe…

    Great, now do storage! People shouldn't have to pay $$$ for a 128GB upgrade when a 1TB microSDXC card is under $200. It feels like a trick to sell cloud storage and new phones.

    Lots of folks use the Claude Max 20x $200/mo. tier, I think. Gets you waaay farther than $200 of API credits.
