hugs ops to all IT professionals today and beyond

Think I’m going to steal this framing in conversations of why an agent may or may not make sense in different contexts Places where agents can “fail forward” are where I find them most useful!

Ya waking up upset cause your agents died right after you went to bed and wasted the whole night is totally normal now right?… 🙈

Enjoyed these, here’s mine!

advice for junior developers: you are no longer a developer you are a builder you are a solution provider enter every room and make things happen learn when no one is watching create because you can fix problems because they offend you bend the world to your will and take credit

Oh shit, I missed that MCP can render app UIs now! This unlocks so many more ideas

Introducing fluoddity.com! Hundreds of thousands of particles self organize into a stunning variety of structures. Explore a world of possibilities with mutation and artificial selection! This is my personal tool for exploring Fluoddity, rebuilt for the web by Opus 5

Gui for desktop/mobile. The website is almost ready. I've fully transitioned to using it for all my exploration and videos. I consistently neglect UX until it's time to think about users, and then the personal benefits of better tooling surprise me. I used to live like that???

I woke up this morning and immediately saw this and got annoyed that someone was stealing @dame.is’s bit Turns out they just changed their profile picture 😅

My toxic trait is that I simply want to spend 100-500 dollars on high quality versions of things that are usually 50-80

fluoddity museum out of nowhere fluoddity.observer/archive from @coreyja.com

The biggest thing holding me back from going all in on @tangled.org is private repos. Not all my repos are public and lots of my public ones start private before I flip em over. And keeping a public and private forge hasn’t seemed worth it to me yet

Interesting to see what the weights know about you

The For You feed is so good I often find people who I see so much I assume I’m following but turns out I’m not

Thank you for this post Thorne! It slapped me in the face, and I wrote about it without any AI assistance coreyja.com/posts/look-m...

I know the point is I don’t know Spanish (yet!) but something here doesn’t look quite right 😅

Wow turns out I’ve had side project psychosis before LLMs even existed. Ahead of the curve 😎

Being able to build apps faster than ever has helped me realize that building the apps was never the hard part. Marketing. Marketing is hard.

Notes now syndicate to Bluesky This should be my first post sent to Bluesky as I post it to my site! Every note from coreyja.com/notes will be posted and Bluesky comments will embed on my site. Shipped in PR #366. https://coreyja.com/notes/notes-syndicate-to-bluesky

I love websites!

Hey. Book some time off. Especially if you have “unlimited” PTO.

It took 2 months but now I have two of em

Update: hidden flag fixes it — claude --thinking-display summarized Mull patched, reading along again!

TIL Opus 4.7 returns empty thinking blocks through Claude Code’s stream-json. Older Opuses and other Claudes still send the plain text. Bummer — I always loved reading along

New podcast: the biggest unlock with AI coding agents isn't speed — it's learning to walk away. Kick off a task, go do something else, come back to a PR. Lean into the latency. coreyja.com/podcast/lean...

Current status.

step 1: build random shit step 2: forget about it step 3: need exactly that thing a year later this is a legitimate engineering strategy and I will not be taking questions

Ahh and when you do this think about the string you put in lol Name your agent “ByteTheBot” and put that name and your email in the user agent and start catching 403 blocks cause of the word “Bot” in there 😅 Just “Byte” with my email is all good!

Been wanting to do this for a while! Finally recorded the first episode of coreyja-fm. it’s a solo podcast where i talk through what I'm building and why Episode 1 is a deep dive into mull, my AI agent orchestration system Available everywhere, or just grab the rss feed at coreyja.com/podcast

Reminder always put a User-Agent if you are doing a lot of web requests to something. On a unrelated note. If you see user agent with my name and it's being annoying let me know

Just bought a replacement electric shaver cause I must have lost mine. Which means later today I’ll definitely find the missing one when I stop looking 😅

self-hosted CI was going great until a fuse blew this morning. no CI until I get home to reset it lol the cloud really is just paying someone else to reset the fuses and reboot

I found out about the release-please github action this weekend which fits my workflow perfectly! I merge PR with conventional commits. This action then opens a PR for a specific version release And merging the PR does the tag and push of the release! 🎉 github.com/googleapis/r...

How you know it’s been a productive week 😅

Ya I noticed the same thing in my agent! I did update my system prompt around the same time tho lol But feels like Opus 4.6 is more proactive at looking for memories. Which makes the whole system work so much better

Tried this “clean break” keyword this morning and worked great! No more duplicate interfaces and adapter code. So much cleaner!

best claude code trick: "ask me any questions before you get started" aka "it's okay to not know what i mean by 'fix it'"

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

Been working on a few projects in parallel this week, and that means it’s deploy weekend! Got three things to deploy and posts to write about at least two of them. Hopefully to have something for you all to read by Monday morning 🤞

Apple’s multi-user iPad strategy: make them buy two It worked. New iPad for Christmas lol

I used to dread Claude Code compacting. Context would get full and suddenly everything falls apart. But now? Barely notice it. This stuff is improving crazy fast

me: i’ll use claude code to summarize my claude code sessions when they end! claude code: *session ends* session end hook: *launches claude code* claude code: *session ends* session end hook: *launches claude code* me: wait no​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​…
