Codes-in-a-box

Curious engineer. Minimal code, deliberate systems, endless rabbit holes.
I help devs figure out how to do their best work and actually ship it.

@JukeBoysNFTs @RareEvo Where and when was this in person meetup and why were you there? Why were they there? Who are they? Who are you?

What is even going on? When is crypto gonna be fun again?

Apologies, I obviously don't know anything about whatever 🤘🏻

Nobody seems to know how insane GPT-5.4 is with computer use.

I asked GPT-5.4 to draw the OpenAI logo in Microsoft Paint.

No computer use API. Just a screenshot and basic tool calls (click, drag, press_key) all coordinate-based.

The first drawing was awful. And GPT knew it. It looked at its own result and essentially went "yeah, no."

What happened next is what broke my brain:

It opened a browser. Went to Bing Images. Searched for the OpenAI logo. Found one. Then (and I cannot stress this enough) it used the Windows area screenshot shortcut (Win+Shift+S) to snip just the logo off the screen. Went back to Paint. Imported it. Centered it.

All on its own. No instructions to do any of that. It just improvised a better strategy when the first one failed. My prompt was "Draw the OpenAI logo" with Paint already opened on the computer.

Sure, it's "cheating." But honestly? That's exactly what I'd do too. And the fact that it came up with this plan from nothing but a screenshot and a coordinate system is wild.

claude code has a hidden setting that makes it 600x faster and almost nobody knows about it

by default it uses text grep to find functions.

it doesn't understand your code at all. that's why it takes 30-60 seconds and sometimes returns the wrong file

there's a flag called ENABLE_LSP_TOOL that connects it to language servers. same tech that powers vscode's ctrl+click to jump straight to the definition

after enabling it:

> "add a stripe webhook to my payments page" - claude finds your existing payment logic in 50ms instead of grepping through hundreds of files

> "fix the auth bug on my dashboard" - traces the actual call hierarchy instead of guessing which file handles auth

> after every edit it auto-catches type errors immediately instead of you finding them 10 prompts later

also saves tokens because claude stops wasting context searching for the wrong files

2 minute setup and it works for 11 languages

The most useful thing AI did for my code wasn't write it.

It was show me what I'd been overcomplicating for years.

Hardest blindspot to find is the one you built yourself.

Let the Bond Hunger Games begin. If global savers can’t or won’t buy govt bonds, the central banks or commercial banks will print money to buy them instead. Whoever prints first, prints best.

@elonmusk Obvious isn't always obvious
Interesting point 🤔

@benjamincowen What were you talking about? 😅
