@shaneparrish I'm glad to be 50 and using AI like the workhorse it can be.

@muskaan___07 3.0 here. My father had it on an accountants computer when I was about 12. 1988. 3.1 was just rolling out. Got a job at a brewery migrating PC's from 3.0 to 3.11 next to AS400 terminals.

@neerajjj6785 I literally prompted Claude to grab conversations from Anti-gravity and then turned it into a skill. Now I just ask: Continue my conversation from Anti-gravity about X subject.

@seanallen_dev It's the only way. Make sure your Agents follow suit.

@TTrimoreau Nothing happens without a creator guiding it though.

@AKirtesh I want 256GB for my LMStudio. I can afford 0GB because I'm broke right now.

[John Durcan @BritishDevDiary]

@pcshipp All of us because now we just write better code, faster and more complete than ever before. Now we don't have to skip writing Unit tests, localising, meeting accessibility guidelines etc...

Deal: TimerStack. Stack it, Time it, Log it, Share it.

The problem: real routines are multi-step; circuit training, a recipe, a focus block. App timers handle one interval at a time. You end up managing the app instead of doing the task.

Solution: TimerStack turns routines into sharable "stacks" of timers that run hands-free; sequential steps, repeats for HIIT/Pomodoro, and detached timers for things happening in parallel.

Lives on your Lock Screen and Apple Watch so your phone stays in your pocket.

In Beta for iOS. Android in development.

Happy to be rated

@kritikakodes There's before AI and then there's after AI...

[John Durcan @BritishDevDiary]

@twostraws The comments are awesome as a guide for developers! 6.9 only seems to be the top comment.

[John Durcan @BritishDevDiary]

@elonmusk Cool! Presuming I can plugin Grok-Build into my coding agent of choice and have it spin up multiple agents.

It's been a while since I've used X after I was banned for using OpenClaw for seeking posts to engage with. Big mistake. My backup account worked but frankly I've been too busy with divorce & https://t.co/KIJe4a7Ugy to blink. It's great to be back. Do I have any followers still?
