Frank Franco

Software engineer. I build things with AI, dev tools, hardware, and whatever else looks interesting. Sometimes photography, finance, languages, & travel.

@scottstts @levelsio Only experienced around 10 years of this and 5 years professionally and loved every bit of it. What a great time it was!

@robj3d3 Shit, this keeps increasing each time I see it, congrats!

I simply cannot have an iPhone for more than a year. Somehow I always lose it :(

Cool to see that many people are creating their own virtual office haha

[WebDevCody @webdevcody]

one Opus 5.5 prompt, and now I run around a virtual office managing agents to work on github issues and merge conflicts

@cathrynlavery @Tailscale I have my own home server and just recently I had my best flight ever thanks to @Tailscale. 12 hours, just me and my iPad Pro 11’, connected to my server via ssh, running Codex via the ChatGPT app, seeing my websites on the iPad broswer. Amazing

@systematicls I’m not attached, I’ve adopted AI across my workflows and no longer write code. Yet, I miss engaging with a problem and searching for a solution. I used to design, think of an algorithm, and build it. Now, I simply prompt the AI and guide it. The process is faster, but I miss it.

This Codex outage just makes me want to buy a Mac Mini more... Doesn't feel great to be at the mercy of a tech company

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

Fuck, I was doing some server changes and thought I broke something. I was using Gemini to debug it because I couldn't find anything 😂

Fortunately I noticed Codex was also failing on my Mac, so I came here to check.

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

We are aware that codex is down and are working hard to bring back normal service.

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@pradeepXkapoor @X On the other hand, they don’t get overwhelmed by the constant urge to try each new product/model 🥲

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@VadimStrizheus Codex has the best value with Luna Max, perfect for just coding, not thinking. I haven’t found another model that’s smart enough to not fuck up and cheap enough so that it can run for hours without barely scratching the quota.

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@anah_sahh Don’t agree completely. It’s mostly useful when you’re stuck with a bug for hours and the agent can’t resolve it. Knowing how to code makes you ask smarter questions, and helps it get unstuck. Apart from that, I’m not so sure.

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@jackfriks It scares me that this happens more and more. I try to ask the AI to explain how everything works behind the scenes, so I don’t stay completely on the dark and also to spot weird architecture. But of course, I’m still trusting it for this!

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@sammycore333 The joy of making some pixels move! I remember when I started coding, how much happiness it gave me. Keep going!

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@hraness You’re missing three more monitors

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@ElitzaVasileva Jeez people don’t even review their vibecoded slop anymore

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@heyclairelin I’m picking up this forgotten account to see how it goes :)

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@trq212 Only useful in huge (and I mean gigantic) codebases

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@satyanadella

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@andrewjiang @elonmusk Do you use max for this?

[Frank Franco @franklfranco]

@OnlyTerp But betting in the stock market/crypto is not 😆
