Simplicity is not the goal. It is the by-product of a good idea and modest expectations.

@joelhooks Not too different from what i still eat, but your portions are 1000x better than mine. But still eating broccoli + rice + protein nearly every day.

@joelhooks Sam Altman would not approve. 🤣

@toddmotto Pros and cons. It’s boring when it takes the rare great work we enjoyed working, tinkering with. It’s great when taking the boring monotonous work like bug fixes.

Here’s a story for you. We started filming without owning the title and had to do alternates.

Taft Broadcasting owned the title Ghostbusters as part of their half-hour sitcom starring Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker (F-Troop) and a gorilla chasing ghosts. I had never heard of it. They didn’t have proton packs or Bill Murray. Columbia paid $500,000 to buy the name, but they really should have paid Dean Martin, from whom I first heard the term.

In the film Scared Stiff (1953), he and Jerry Lewis (check out his acrobatic stair descent) are in an old haunted castle, and Lizabeth Scott asks Dean: “Who are you guys?” And Dean answers: “You’ve heard of Trustbusters and Gangbusters, we’re Ghostbusters!”

For my research writing the first movie, I watched every single ‘ghost’ comedy ever made. Bowery Boys, Hope and Crosby, Abbot and Costello, Martin and Lewis all did such films.

Happy Halloween 2026.

@Cardschatter Everyone last week against the Rams "Heck ya!! We should be blitzing more!" ... and we just saw the dangers of all-out blitz.

@kentcdodds Context is everything. What code ? Banking ? Flight controls ? Not trusting AI yet. Some SaaS product ? Sure. Trust AI.

@Cardschatter and yet, we did enough to win.

@NomadsGalaxy @bherbruckx Interesting. I'll check it out. Fusion is consuming 20+ gigs on my computer. Its good software, but for hobbyist work, thats a lot of storage for things I don't need or will use.

@AiDevCraftConf @AiDevCraftConf - got email that conference is cancelled. Do you evaluate doing something virtually?

@meijer_s How big is the code change it’s reviewing ? Are you using the Claude code built in review or your own prompt or skill?

[John Olson (@johnolsonlv.bsky.social) @john__olson]

@MandicReally @BIQU_Makers I’d like for C1L.

@PHNX_Cardinals We held the line. He didn't live up to the hype.

@meijer_s This is my personal spend. At work, we have a company Anthropic account and I'm on Premium, and I have a $20 OpenAI account.
