Whenever I've reached the end of a long Claude Code session and know there's no more meaningful context use and it's time to end it, I get a little sad as if I had just reached the end of a good book.

I find myself taking a brief moment of reflection of the journey

“ When a Clown moves into the Palace, he doesn’t become a King, The Palace becomes a Circus” is a Turkish proverb which is worth heeding in the coming days.

@manuelmhtr thanks for your insights on #jest #esm and impact of `setupFiles` to module import paths 🤯

"once setupFiles are loaded, all imports are tried from there"

I was going insane until I read your comment... I adjusted my import and ✅

so weird!

Good advice from @LeilaGharani on how to customize #ChatGPT responses to make you more efficient and get answers formatted the way you want ✨

There was the world before, and then after 🔥

There was the world before, and then after #Google 🔎

There was the world before, and then after #ChatGPT 🧠

Onwards and upwards ✨

Deploying to #aws #elasticbeanstalk is harder than it ought to be. So. Many. IAM. Policies.

Even with their managed policies, I *still* had to add some custom grants for "sns" and "elasticloadbalancing"

I miss #heroku

🤦‍♂️

@editingemily So... how much can the unicorn lift? 🦄

@pronawoman @LionKimbro @JoePrattMaine @ChandanBrown @nethornk @InternetH0F I bet that makes reading books more fun! It's isn't a bunch of words on a page to me that my internal dialogue recites to me 😅

I have to try to imagine images and scenes from what I read to make it interesting.

[Doug Ayers @douglascayers]

@taishiling Interesting. My mind is thinking constantly. I don't have to think of the words, my mind is just saying things about whatever. It's like listening to a conversation someone else is having. I can choose to interject and direct the thoughts though

@Carnage4Life If you and @GergelyOrosz stop posting then I'll have nothing left to read here #ghosttown

@PNCBank_Help @CrimsonCrits Not resolved. I get "Access Denied" pages now. I was actively using your alls chat support about billing issues and *poof* the site goes down 🤦‍♂️

@ch_sz_knapp FYI @trailhead @dhoechst 🤗

[Doug Ayers @douglascayers]

I'm so disappointed with search engine results nowadays for exploring programming questions. #ChatGPT is so much better at providing a relevant actionable answer it makes me much more productive.

[Sean J. Taylor @seanjtaylor]

In the last week, I've debugged two very idiosyncratic issues I've run into using ChatGPT, just pasting the terminal output and describing what I'm trying to do. In both cases, Google was completely useless. Don't tell OpenAI, but $20/month for this is severely underpriced.

[Doug Ayers @douglascayers]

Stripe dev docs are in my opinion the gold standard. To get better is amaze-sauce!

[Owen Williams ⚡ @ow]

At @stripe we've been working with OpenAI on supercharging our docs with GPT-4, so developers can ask natural language questions and get summarized answers. It's amazing how powerful it is for helping developers get more done 🚀 https://t.co/Qh98h6P1aQ

Seeking new maintainers for #MassActionScheduler

Unfortunately, I don't have the time to invest in this passion project anymore but that shouldn't mean the community loses out. Please share around, thanks ❤️

@michaelforce I used #ChatGPT to solve a production issue yesterday. I'm now sitting in a corner having an existential crisis. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated 😂

[Doug Ayers @douglascayers]

@mom_tho Ironically one would think it would be self cleaning considering it's job is to spray water and soap 🧼

[Doug Ayers @douglascayers]

For example, I trust it to scan blogs and stackoverflow to distill my code questions into what I'm looking for. But I also don't take what it gives me as gospel. I still test it out, but it's way faster than me searching the web for an answer.

[Doug Ayers @douglascayers]

Agree. It's great at improving my productivity at writing code by giving me near instant highly probable good approaches. I wouldn't use it to answer critical life questions where a certified and verified answer is necessary.

Seems like most folks here are on the left side of the curve https://t.co/2bAzFcVtHt
