That app I was talking about being in a 9 year private beta finally got approved by the @AppStore. It's called Omnom and it's been our family's food operating system for almost a decade. Here's why I love it 🧵

@ZECTBynmo First mistake was writing you off 😛

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

@ZECTBynmo @davidsven Say whattttttt????

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

All the way this.

Something I've noticed:

If I've thought about a feature for a while I can prompt my way to ship a 100k line change in a 12 hour day safely - it will work in production and not be full of tech debt.

If I haven't, a 1000+ line change is dangerous and likely to need a rewrite

@thdxr Good. No designer should be satisfied enough with their work that they’d get a tattoo of it.

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

Now that's a nice typeface.

Paper Mono!

sooo excited to finally release our free and beautiful mono font

it works incredibly well for design, coding, and even prose, and it’s packed with features: variable font weight, coding ligatures, duospacing (!) for long-form text, and more.

sound on:

Set up an @OpenAI Dot. Called it, sent an email to schedule a coffee. It's the closest thing to a personal assistant that I've seen so far.
I know that all of these agents can do it but I just trust OAI more than the others and that goes a long way.

I knew I was an AI optimist, but damn. https://t.co/qZvlzyVgss

This is feeling right these days.

[Gergely Orosz @GergelyOrosz]

Talked with a company where, a year ago they had unlimited AI budgets + CEO is technical and very bullish in AI

“We now have a daily budget limit for SOTA models. Use Fable and Astra only for planning, cheaper models are good enough for everything else.”

Want to stress this is an “AI-pilled” company, and not one that ever looked at AI budgets, before.

@wbz I’m not sure why you put the weather team in a weird 3d set but I can’t see the actual weather anymore.

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

Do this...

[Mike Vegeto @ZECTBynmo]

If anyone doesn't know: There's a standard called Simplified Technical English for clear, concise technical language. If you demand your agents talk in STE you will not get word vomit - they mostly adhere to the instruction since it's in training data

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

Yup

[John Lindquist @johnlindquist]

Friday: I have more than enough resets for some fun
Monday: I have no resets

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

There are lots of differences between @bot and @ChatGPT Codex in coordinating agents, but chief among them is feel.

@bot feels frenetic and @ChatGPT 6 Astra feels more composed.

Having too much fun playing with tech these days!

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

I'm this close 🤏 to getting a laptop to run @OmarchyLinux. My biggest hangup is having to get a keyboard that has a Windows and Copilot key on it.

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

My favorite thing are "best practices" posts for tools that are days old for two reasons:
1. It just came out. The idea that anyone knows what they're doing yet is hilarious.
2. This knowledge is going to be out of date in a couple of days.

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

@danellisona Not great, Dan. Not great.

@samlambert Onomatopoeia

[Dan Perrera @dperrera]

Man, this era is so much fun.

The reward for making something good is a longer list of things you now know are wrong with it
