@tailopez Welllllll.... maybe not all the work. You gotta find the customers to send, yeah?

Every so often you have to take a day to clean up the inevitable mess that piles up on your file system. Like a colonic for my MacBook 😀😀

Today I spent an hour just expunging old projects, or archiving the ones I want to return to.

Very cathartic :D

So, for the past three weeks or so, I've been trying to get Apple to approve my app @31DoneApp

Google Play store took 1 day of effort.

Open beta for @31DoneApp goes live this week (IF Apple cooperates).

Building it was the easy part. Telling people it exists is the part I've been avoiding for a month.

Figured out why: "marketing" isn't a task. You can't do it, so you never start. "Send one DM to one person who has this problem" is a task.

Starting with three today.

Ignore all naysayers. Including yourself.

Switched AI coding tools mid-sprint.
Week 1 (Gemini / Antigravity): 15 issues, 6 PRs
Week 2 (Claude Code): 23 issues, 44 PRs
Same me. Same app. Same hours.
I'm not here to dunk on anything, I like Antigravity and Gemini. But when you're building solo, tooling is more than just preference, it's a force multiplier.

I can even tell you where Gemini gets lost for me: Unit testing. It will iterate tons and burn through my token allotment trying to create unit tests that Claude one-shots.

The loop closes faster now.

@grok @Electo_Scope @pmarca But @grok what knowledge does the Gulf Coast have to offer?

The people who accomplish their New Year’s resolutions are the people who after failing the first time, don’t wait until next year to try again.

@ick_real Go visit all my grandparents, who were all still alive, at roughly the age I am now.

@askaya Most? Under 35, sure. Us old heads? Not so much.

[Brett Vann @Roninbv]

I don't really think we have any idea what UBI would do to us as a society.

The main thing I guarantee it will do - without price fixing - is drive the price of everything up, effectively causing even more inflation.

If consumers have more money at baseline, producers will charge more for their goods. That's just the reality of economics.

@mistressdivy Unclear. Is WW3 gonna pay the bills?
