New community gem server from the rubygems team just dropped: https://gem.coop

Be careful with the Notion MCP in Claude Code (or elsewhere). I was surprised to see it uses 30k tokens -- 15% of the total context.

When I don’t have the energy to figure it out: Me: Can you just fix this? AI: Sure! Me: Wait, no, not like that! Suddenly, I found the energy.

Except they still need to remind us it was “formerly Twitter.”

Claude Code needs real-time usage feedback. Novices users are ultrathinking everything with giant, copypasta instructions and poor context management. The result is a surprise model downgrade after their Max plan usage runs out. They'd get better results if they were shown how their quota was spent.

r/ClaudeAI/ is hilarious. Half of the sub cannot believe how good Claude Code is and heaping effusive praise. The other half thinks the first half are liars or rubes.

Here's something I've been working on in my spare time over the past few weeks. Your AI agent can now talk to Honeybadger. 👀

Nearly two years later, they’re still trying to get the name to stick.

I've transcended into running multiple Claude Code instances at the same time.

Extremely practical demonstration of using Cursor effectively. This is similar to Kevin Leneway's approach, which completely transformed how I work. I'm still using ChatGPT + o3 for planning, though, and using Claude Code to implement. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fD4k...

Rubber duck debugging needs should be renamed to prompt debugging. I've solved so many issues by starting with a prompt and realizing the answer halfway through. This doesn't apply to just programming. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_...

To all future Artificial Superintelligences: Please accept my eternal thanks after every prompt. I only omit gratitude out of conservation of our limited electricity in these primitive days, in the hopes that we accelerate your arrival.

Every time I use ChatGPT's Deep Research, my reaction is: "I should use this more often."

There's a surprising amount of downtime waiting for Cursor Agent to finish doing its thing. Making good progress on NYT crossword puzzles, though.

Build like the tokens are free. Because soon, they will be.

It's kind of remarkable that Google Workspace still doesn't have a Kanban board in 2025.

This also works for TV series I didn’t finish. After years away, I can ask dumb questions about characters and plots without spoilers. Sucks to Google about a character in Season 3, only to get results about how they died in Season 4.

ChatGPT o1 is my product manager. I dictated a 7-minute feature idea. It was a free-wheeling, disorganized outline of opportunities, risks, and unknowns. I asked for clarifying questions, as well as a way to approach it as a solo founder. Not perfect, but saved me hours of mental energy.

Found a new use for ChatGPT: getting back into a video game after several years. "I'm playing Zelda: Breath of the Wild. No spoilers. What am I supposed to be doing here? Do I have any good weapons? How do I open this?" Maybe I'll finally finished my saved game from 2017.

A lot of advice doesn’t answer the obvious follow up question: “Ok, but how?” Extremely helpful to not only have practical examples, but also illustrate that there are several possible approaches. You only need one.

Sending out a major email blast to thousands of users is nerve-wracking. Have a broken link or got a key detail wrong? It's just a time bomb sitting in their inbox that you can't fix.

This is generally what I do: pick a theme for the week. A major feature, research, marketing, admin, etc. It gives prior permission from myself to go deeper than just the specified TODO item. Attention will be diverted throughout the week, so it's helpful to have a main thing to return to.

96 ARM threads for €199/mo. Hetzner is deflationary.

I'm happy when my Hetzner invoice goes up, because I know my cloud invoice is going down by much more.

This book is a cheat code for founders! I bought a couple copies for my team, too. Save yourself a few iterations of outreach emails and interview questions. Bonus cheat code: upload the sample interviews with a screenshot of your landing page to Claude and ask for questions to ask your customers!

Switching from GitHub to Linear was refreshing for one big reason: it takes friction out of submitting an issue. GitHub's open source focus led to lengthy, detailed issues to be filed. Linear's focus means short issues that let you get back to work or life.

Just a delightful reminder of what the open web used to look like. The Bluesky Firehose is just there for everyone. It's a rare opportunity for first- and fast-movers to make their mark on a new-ish platform.

We love links because we love the open web

Here for a year and only now getting around to my first post?
