Opus 5 has a huge ego and loves to spend cash. Literally have to beg it to stop doing things and ask me more questions. 4.6 was modest and we had a good partnership.
Play Day at the office. Celebrated with a cartwheel through LEGO bricks and it was only mildly painful.
Recent vibe coding win. Wanted to start tracking macros again but myfitnesspal app is clunky and expensive. Made my own app that takes a simple description + size, runs it thru Gemini to estimate macros, logs and displays them.

New post! This year I’m going to post weekly to introduce & explore marketing models. www.ryantimpe.com/posts/mmm_001/ Will mostly use R but will also use these posts to “learn out loud” for python. And since I can’t take anything seriously, will be using my favorite 80s sitcom as the example.
