Power engineering is cool 😎. Here’s a substation disconnector opening in the misty weather (under no load). Enjoy
“When I finally find the cause of this bug it’s gonna be so annoyingly obvious”
Anyone else remember this feeling? It’s almost becoming a distant memory…
I love it that when exploring the AI implementation of a feature that’s been well executed, I actually learn something.
Stackoverflow had taught me a lot over the years, now the AI is doing the same.
Put someone who’s never seen your app/website in front of it for the first time and watch them like a hawk.
Then improve your UX.
I caught up with a friend yesterday who is also building great things alongside their 9-5. How did I know she was doing this? Well she hints/talks about it to her friends. Now we help each other out.
Don’t develop in complete secret. Do the same, you might be surprised at how many people might reach out who are doing the same.
My best guard against slop code is having a strong documentation library that is routed to by AGENTS.md for every prompt. It includes:
- Strong rules on subagents and their roles (1 code writer, readers/auditors for architecture, tests, security, docs, UX).
- A suite of visual design criteria (and what NOT to implement).
- Protected files/sections of the repo, areas that can't be modified without my explicit permission.
- Tightly scoped mission specs and a workflow for executing them.
Then any learnings go back into the documentation suite so it continuously improves.
Set up structure like this for every project. You'll save heaps on usage/tokens and improve code quality.
Running out of Earl Grey is infinitely more destructive to my productivity than depleting my codex limit
Pythonista for iPhone is such a cool way to quickly access the phone’s hardware and build little scripts/apps.
Here’s one I build that computes your current altitude (before the days of AI).
I spent pretty much a whole flight trying to debug why the value it was computing isn’t right, until I realised I was in a pressurised cabin 🤦♂️. Still it’s a fun way to see whether you are ascending, descending or cruising ✈️
2% remaining and the reset is in 4hrs… thanks for the morning off @OpenAI but it’s time. Let’s goooo
