Why am I back on the terminal and 40k lines deep in my own ai-workflow tui? Two reasons: 1) AI writes my dotfiles. It fucking rules. 2) charm bracelet tui ecosystem in go is ace and ai writes it well.

Claude code and codex do this all the time too. Fucking annoying.

Cool that they don't let others do it. I tried to make a work fb account to access the hellscape that is business manager and they blocked it. Pricks.

I’ve built this into a cli TUI. Passes the whole diff to Claude code with a schema and gets a structured narrative back out. Works really well for understanding. Reconstituting messy things is exactly where LLMs can help.

I try codex, but i hate 5.4's personality as a partner. It's a demon debugger though. but working closely with it, it's so smug and annoying.

I only pay adobe because, as an amateur, I can dump in raw files and they then make them go away from my hd. It's wild that no one else offers this, but that seems to be where we are. How does BM cloud work in this regard? Can we dump

Yes. Obviously it does.

Without wanting to sound rude: I think the mistake people make with AI prototypes is keeping the code at all. The AI’s are more than capable of producing a mountain of docs from which to rebuild, sanely. They’re really not that capable - wi

So naive. Private only works this way in Britain because it doesn’t have to be responsible for anything. It’s a luxury good and works accordingly. We have insurance, it’s amazing! But it’s fake. If you want to know how a whole system of thi

What are you talking about? £206pm is the low range of the car leasing market, and the price per km is under petrol. Millions of people lease cars in the uk and can get favourable tax deals through their employers. So yes, still bollocks.

Honestly the car is a luxury for us and a minor tax dodge. I was a consultant with some retained profits in a ltd co so we decided to take advantage of the lease deductions. Got a great deal on a top end VW - £206pm ex VAT.

The key is to remember what they are: bags of weights which you’re throwing some data into. In that sense they can’t offer advice because the “know” nothing. But they can reframe, they can reflect. They can take one idea and reflect it into

I’m just providing a data point. I don’t see why it would be different in another city, and in a less dense one you can home charge which is dirt cheap.

0.49p, gets around 4 mi/kWh. ChatGPT reckons this gives 7.6p/km when petrol would be 9-12. Obviously it could be cheaper, but it’s still pretty good for us. We’re not using it for commuting or anything though.

Bollocks. We live in a flat in London, we have an EV. Charging isn’t cheap like if I was charging on my home tariff, but still cheaper than gas and there’s lots of options around me. I get a discount as a local resident too. Your points on

This looks nice, but on mac you can virtualise really easily into microvms now with https://github.com/apple/container . I've built my own cli that runs the agent + docker compose (for the app stack) inside contain

I reviewed the LiteLLM source a while back. Without wanting to be mean, it was a mess. Steered well clear.

London is pretty hot right now. But lots of the jobs are Founding Engineer roles at startups which I’m deeply skeptical will get out of seed.

“Rather poor reds”. Um what? Germany and Austria produce a lot of excellent wine, red and white. Austrian reds are some of my favourites. In London, Georgian orange wines are very popular and that seems to be what most people who are cursor

The imperative thing is so frustrating. Even the latest models still write elixir like a JS developer, checking nils, maybe_do_blah helper functions everywhere. 30 lines when 8 would do.
