Software Engineer at Certiv. I haven't written a line of code since June 2025. I'm only here to talk about AI.

@med_boy_rant 1098 for daily games. Rapid I peaked at 978.

Smallest child is currently spraying water on the TV and licking it off during the Seahawks game ... this is the oddest timeline.

@kapish_dima If you don't want to spend subscription credits you can do it with https://t.co/gpt2yQBXRz

@EmmansZero Not sure what your ELO is but lots of puzzles are always what I've been told. I just built something to turn my games into puzzles and give explanations for why something was a good or bad move as I usually struggle to see that at time. Check it out https://t.co/b7IfDQ2UD7

@RyanRayMartin That seems to be the pattern until you have a big enough audience.

@jxnlco any word on when sign in with ChatGPT inference usage will be more generally available? I'd love to integrate an LLM for coaching and letting people use their own subs feels like the best first step.

Spent the weekend building a chess coach with Claude Code https://t.co/b7IfDQ2UD7 everything runs in your browser so analysis will be slow on older machines. Sample game shows off puzzle generation and tactic finder for better explanations.

@lucas_martinic I'm very close to making it live, just doing the final bits of polish. I'll make sure to shoot you a link once it's live.

@imjustnewatai Why though? stockfish is so much faster and better.

@theo What is your strategy for handling all the AI issues and pull requests? Before AI I had so many pull requests sit around unmerged for at least a year that it was infuriating.

[Joshua Shanks @jjshanks]

@jun_song Seems about right. Why anyone is making commitments more than 6 months out is insane.

@wesbos First outing came back and there was 3 bags of "chips" (one was a popcorn ball, unclear if that counts).

@Stat_World_Geek Neat.

@AndrewRosston Let me know if you want someone to look at it, especially for security stuff, as the agents sometimes aren't the best at that.

[Joshua Shanks @jjshanks]

@mickeyxfriedman The right is furious they have abandoned tricks.

@GMNeiksans That sucks. I tried it with a PNG of one of your games and the board came out fine (ignore faces lol). https://t.co/KoT2M1HuXP I'm much better at using AI than I am chess so happy to help if I can. Gemini has really good image generation as well if you haven't tried.
