in today's adventures with #cursor, the agent runs a rm -rf command on my machine, and then when I ask it to create a rule not to, gaslights me into saying it never ran it. #cursor #llm

Watching your own plane land from the viral app you built is definitely a full circle moment 😍 check out planes.fyi

Here's how I use a MCP tool to automate my app's research and DB. 🤖 Instead of manually editing things, changing details, I built a MCP server with a ton of tools, and basically let claude go to work managing my DB. There are ofc guardrails, but it does a really good job. #mcp #claudecode #code

I built an AI pipeline that takes photos of aircraft and generates 3D models for each of them. Right now, it's just one colour; but realistic logos and paint coming soon to planes.fyi #avgeek #AviationNews #flightradar

put live aircraft positions on your ceiling #planes #aviation #projectionmapping

if you like planes -> planes.fyi (it's not ready but I wanna show it anyway) #avgeek #adsb #aviation #planespotting

I wanted to know what was happening in the places I used to live, so I built a map of the news -> needle.news whatdoyouthinkkkk?

🇦🇺 Australia ✅, 🇳🇿 New Zealand ✅, 🇲🇾 Malaysia ✅ Soon... a map of all the trains in the world on trains.fyi #trains #railfan #publictransit #publictransport #railways #railway #gtfs

Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 - now officially on the trains.fyi map. Sydney to start, but adding melbourne as we speak (and hopefully my old home - Perth - after that). #australia #publictransit #transportnsw

Currently working on a 3D map to view planes landing at JFK #planespotting #adsb

new conspiracy theory: cursor has specifically made its prompts worse so im forced to spend more credits. its getting baaaaad :(

I built a dashboard of internet-connected gauges to show me data - here's what each of them does - a thread🧵 #internetofthings #gadgets #raspberrypi #engineering #iot #3dprinting

⏲️ I'm building a physical dashboard for the digital world. What gauges am I missing? #iot #engineering #gadgets #internetofthings #creativetechnology #3dprinting #publictransit

I'm building a gauge that tells you when to leave to catch your train - and I am building out 5 more IOT gauges for the dashboard. What else should I build? #internetofthings #iot #publictransit

pov: you're building a thingamabob

Working on one of my most challenging projects yet! Can you guess what it does?

I've been trying to get into the habit of celebrating both ✅ wins and ❌ losses these days. Here are two of mine from this week: Loss - I wasn't selected to take part in Nuit Blanche Win - I shared my dorky trains website, a lot of you loved it, and it got shared on a bunch of big sites.

👍 fun fact: trains.fyi is having a little celebrity moment 👎 unfun fact: I cannot figure out how to tell where the traffic is coming from in google analytics does anyone know how?

after being read about the ads on trains.fyi - i have fixed them! I turned off the overlay ads and the pop-down ones, since I hate those the most. my thoughts on ads: lowkey I hate them. I use adblockers everywhere so I don't notice them, but they pay for the cost of the site which is critical 😐

today on my "take big risks" checklist

its another beautiful morning to hate DNS

Nothing says "I own a robot vacuum" like having to VACUUM PROOF YOUR APARTMENT by duct taping all the wires off the ground.

i'm in a webex meeting... dear god this shit is bad. 1. it without asking downloaded its client to my computer, when I could have just joined online. 2. someone has been trying to share their screen, but only 5/100 people in the meeting can see the screen
