Claude lately: "Starting up 20 background agents to work in parallel. Oops you have hit your api limit"
I'm going to have to make a "no Claude Friday" or something so I can still keep a mental picture of these applications and keep from going crazy
My most recent dadism- “Do you know when tomorrow will be today? Tomorrow”
Anyone know how to disallow `supabase db deploy` from rogue agents or have some alcohol they can send me?
I just caught a typo that Claude added. Maybe it can take my job… 🤔
It’s a little hard to see but it looks like we are going to have a good crop of utensils this year
Man hand picking through a large document written by a human and hand writing notes sounds more and more cathartic lately.
Anyone else ping claude when they wake up so they get a better throttle reset time or am I just weird?
I’ve heard of a raven, but what does it mean when I have a finch that’s gently rapping at my patio door?
My boys 6 and 3 have invented a creature called a “holesound” which has 2 arms and 4 legs, needles “like a hedgehog” that can poke you and it blows air out of its mouth to “make the instrument work but if it gets to your nose it catches on fire.” Sounds terrifying honestly
My son 6: “Well I don’t want to keep living in a crack house” my wife: “what?” My son: “Well there are cracks in the wall over there”
Weird thing I found out this AM- AI agents are not very good at TDD. They tend to flop around trying to fix errors. They are far better at writing tests that match what they've already created which doesn't give me a huge amount of confidence honestly
The biggest lesson I’ve learned as a father is sometimes you just need to go on a tickle spree
Hey Git worktree is actually pretty nice for running multiple agents at once- now I can pretend to successfully run 2 in parallel
I made the mistake of asking Claude to help me plan a project and it proceeded to try to download the entire internet
I've used Claude code now for about a week so clearly I'm an expert /s I wanted to give my first impressions 🧵
I just manually installed the LEMP stack on a server like someone out of the early to mid 2010s. It felt amazing
This right here sums up my frustrations with AI coding perfectly
Just found out about github.com/Flowframe/la... Man I could have used this before now... 😅
