@timhnln Why not just create GitHub issues using the CLI?

[Florian Strauf @learnedlate]

@dwlz expensive?

[Florian Strauf @learnedlate]

@timhnln oh dear, finally

@adamc0dez Opencode. It's really awesome and Deepseek have a 75% discount until end of may. So you just buy $10 worth of credits with Deepseek and that will last you until your quota resets.

@JedPattersonn MS Clarity is free...

It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request.

You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it.

It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names.

You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider extensibility on part of their API. Here’s a comment buddy.

They respond in an hour saying they think we should do one piece differently than your comment. Hey let’s jump into a room and figure it out. We can’t just agree to disagree, this code is too important.

The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment.

That night you go to sleep and dream of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids, your IDE syntax highlighting sparking neurons in your reptile brain.

You go to work the next day ready to go. You understand the system. N is your foundation. Time to build n+1.

AI agent + simple backend for my taxes feels way better than any UI.

Expense Sorted as backend, but data entry and validation go through the agent. for anything complex or conversational the real UI is the agent. Apps just become thin, purpose-built views on top.

@dwlz Nice! Tldr: answer "what problem do I wish someone else would solve for me?" instead of "what problem should I solve?" and turn on your 21 year old naive self.

slow grind.

We had a good run Copilot, but I think it's over. Kimi has much better value for money.

@chalaska Aussie in NZ ok?

[Florian Strauf @learnedlate]

@adamc0dez what's working better Google or Facebook?

[Florian Strauf @learnedlate]

@lockinmarv any tips for getting AI to be better with it?

[Florian Strauf @learnedlate]

@superwhisper cooked their prompt so that now instead of transcribing it tried to comment on what I said...

back to typing my productivity is gone.

@dwlz visibility might be an issue too. imessage might have group chats, but threads, channels etc. help to order stuff allowing people to consume what they need to. As it grows you want to achieve good p2p communication and to you being the hub or bottleneck.

I feel like a boomer using Copilot and now I started liking MS Clarity!

[Florian Strauf @learnedlate]

@dwlz What’s the best way to reach users? Email? Feedback bot?

[Florian Strauf @learnedlate]

@KobeissiLetter stablecoins? USD stablecoins?
