trying out new AI models 😹

You know what's so great about writing software for yourself? You can meet your needs exactly.

I open a lot of terminals. Sometimes inside the IDE, sometimes outside. Many times I lose a terminal. The default Windows terminal sucks. tmux does not work in Windows.

So I just vibed my own solution. Terminals in tabs that remember the current working directory. That's it, but it does exactly what I need.

Made with claude and codex.

Hey @opencode, why do I often get a new update notice immediately after updating?

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

Developing on Windows is so frustrating. Spent hours trying to remove janky rendering on my app, doing all sorts of caching and optimizations. Same exact app runs flawlessy on macOS.

PC: 32 cores, 128GB RAM
Mac: M1, 16GB RAM

👀 Sneak peek into a new feature we're working on for Umami - heatmaps!

This Cloudflare UI is just terrible. You click on a link called Workers & Pages and you get this screen. Tell me, how do you create a Page instead of a Worker? Yep, that tiny text at the bottom.

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

There is only one reason we have backwards compatibility in software: humans. Having to adjust our workflows is difficult and inconvenient.

But I can imagine a point where this will no longer matter if AI agents can simply update your software for you, like a universal codemod. Then we can always be on the best standards. Python would be at version 9 by now.

@leerob will this be available in AI SDK?

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

@theo your latest video mentioned a chart you were missing from posthog. curious what is was. maybe we can add it.

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

Built a simple app so I can keep track of my limits for Claude and Codex.

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

@rauchg Yes. I'm literally building every single idea I've ever had, no matter how stupid or impractical, because I want to see it exist.

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

oh no, claude is down. this is like having no internet.

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

Anyone able to use their Claude Pro/Max subscription with Vercel AI SDK?

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

The @resend template editor UX is terrible.
- no reusable components
- when you select something to modify, the selection disappears. you have no idea what you are editing
- clicking the drag handle opens a menu for some reason and interferes with dragging

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

My little vibe coded app a month later

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

@theo no windows? it should be easy enough to do with the electron-builder package.

[Mike Cao @caozilla]

CODEX IS AMAZING
