It's a ridiculous folly. I've already lost a well-constructed question because I accidentally tabbed into my pointless 'buddy'. (Yes, I know I can turn it off. I have.)

Is it just me or do I not find the Claude Code application that fascinating? I use it all day and love it. Don't get me wrong. But it's a terminal-based app that talks to an LLM and calls local functions. Ooookay…

I wonder whether people like you have actually used Claude for any length of time. I use it all day. I consider it a near-miracle. Yet I correct it multiple times daily.

The experience is similar if you call for end-user support. I did this once with an Apple Home issue. I called 133-MAC (Australia), got through to someone immediately , had a nice chat, was very impressed, felt supported, and got myself a

I’m reading Wolf Hall . It’s amazing how much more history is ‘sinking in’ when told as historical fiction. Recommended, as is The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet , for the same reason. Also that’s just beautifully written.

From me, this is a massive relief after we just deployed a bunch of videos to Vimeo. The next week they were bought. I'm a one-man operation. In the order of hundreds of videos served a week. All I want is control over my own destiny

Kids aren’t for everyone. Please don’t guilt-trip people for not having them. (I know this article isn’t doing that.) https://wearechildfree.com/ Disclosure: Zoë is my cousin.

The difference with many other countries -- I'm Australian -- is that we don't constantly bang on about how glorious our constitution is and how it's the be-all end-all. We just get on with it. And I wouldn't mind if the
