@freedombill3 Realised the same recently and we dropped down to 1 car. Almost paid off the neg equity already! Only been a few months and we’re managing fine

Not only did it make the changes. It fixed the unit tests 😅 and then deployed with kamal. All whilst I was finishing my workout

My own wow moment with @openclaw - have my own gym tracker rails app. Normally when I’m in the gym I make notes to implement later. Asked K-2SO to make the notes on telegram. Then I realised it could use opencode and orchestrate the changes itself!

@silvansoeters @BenjaminDEKR I had one before where I asked it for a good god of war build and it told me and then said something about my spaniel retrieving the controller 🤣

@MillerFred87032 @alfie_bfc @Jeff24762457 @BlackpoolFC Sounds like he will fit in great 🤣

@BenjaminDEKR Have the same with Gemini too. “Since you write code, think of this sourdough recipe as a..” 🤣🤣

@BenjaminDEKR Literally just got this when asking what the slim keyfob of my Volvo actually did 🤣

@BogDrakonov @BenjaminDEKR Click on your profile icon in the Gemini app then look for "Instructions for Gemini"

@WoSSCrypto @AnthropicAI There's so many different ways now to use these things it's difficult to keep up. I've tried Google's stuff to "no code" an app where you converse with Gemini in another language and it gives you tips on the video call. All done in 1 hour. That was genuinely impressive.

[Tobias Leyland @ThorTL67]

@WoSSCrypto @AnthropicAI Curious as to how you were using Claude? (Text editor or CLI etc) I've found that using LLMs in coding drastically cuts down my time to deliver. Claude is one of the better models I've used work my language (Ruby)

Lots of people will make the job loss claim to get seen on X

[Tobias Leyland @ThorTL67]

@WoSSCrypto It's similar in software! Often people only give feedback when something is broken. No news is good news, but positive feedback is good and should be utilised more!

.. my retirement goals were. Already done the financial plan and identified some areas to get things moving the right way. Including getting rid of my financed car that isn't used much!

Just wanted to say thanks for writing the book, and being a good writer!

[Tobias Leyland @ThorTL67]

@WoSSCrypto I saw one of your tweets regarding the November budget on my personal account and liked the way you portrayed your point. Saw your book on Amazon and bought it. I've just finished it now and it's been an eye opening experience. Didn't realise how far off..

@NanoBanana One from my home town! @visitBlackpool

Also - bought my first Android device since the OnePlus One. Got the Pixel 10 Pro (still have my iPhone 15 PM)

Wow! It's so snappy and they're killing it with Gemini. Going to a useful assistant instead of Siri is brilliant

[Tobias Leyland @ThorTL67]

On 26th October I bought 32GB DDR5 RAM 6000MHz for £62 second hand on eBay

Seeing it go for £300 there and on Amazon too. Crazy!

[Tobias Leyland @ThorTL67]

Don’t find out the hard way! 🤣 Have a good weekend everyone #DevLife

First 3D print has improved the airflow of my PC case!

[Tobias Leyland @ThorTL67]

Couldn’t quite budget for a @FrameworkPuter desktop so I built my own!

Feeling very proud and of course running Omarchy @dhh !

Running AMD Ryzen 5 7600 /w 32GB RAM & 1TB SSD to start with

Came to about £1k in total
