Some one smarter than me could probably explain what it means that the infinite subspace beneath reality has transitioned over the last century from a library to an empty, decrepit, office

@mobinfiltrator Respect a man who knows his workflow.
When you do move to whatever’s next, you may want to look into version control software as well; get set up on GitHub with GitHub Desktop. It allows you to save snapshots of your project, so if anything ever breaks, you can roll it back.

[John @illdefinedjohn]

@mobinfiltrator Understandably. An IDE like VSCode will make it easier for both you and the AI (whether you’re using ClaudeCode, Codex, or something else) to build out your project. You can ask it about anything when you’re setting it up as well. The future is now.
