@thebasedcapital @itsolelehmann Came here to mention Mercury. Another option is to manually issue an account for your agent with a spend cap. Mercury makes this really simple.

You’d basically give your agent a credit card with a per diem spending limit.

@iannuttall Did I miss my chance? If not, would love to try it out. I’m a regular context 7 user and have been building a LOT recently.

I've spent 4 years building ADHD systems for work.

Zero years building them for being a dad.

It's taken me too long to realize: weekends feel chaotic because I never applied what actually works!

@tunguz Just in time for the weekend!

@d4m1n I was talking about the VS Code extension specifically @d4m1n

It's thankfully still alive and well in the CLI. 🤓

[❇️ Chris Cameron | The ADHD Automator @learnwithcc]

@mhyrr @d4m1n That would seem like a weird direction for them to take purposely @mhyrr, given the hype around the reported "30+ hours autonomous coding time".

I think (and hope) it's more likely a technical hurtle they couldn't get around in time for launch. 🤞

[❇️ Chris Cameron | The ADHD Automator @learnwithcc]

@mhyrr @d4m1n Not yet I'm afraid.

I was hoping they might have snuck in a new environment variable, but no such luck it seems.

I'll stick to the fast lane (aka the CLI) until it's fixed. 😅

Easily one of my fav uses of "!" in Claude Code:

'! open .'

Instantly open the working directory in Finder. So helpful when you're creating assets and want a visual.

I use this all the time when creating docs. 🤓

[❇️ Chris Cameron | The ADHD Automator @learnwithcc]

@JJEnglert @iannuttall 💯👆

Pairing that with having it create comprehensive docs as I go is working really well for me.

I ask for docs that “make everything super clear for a junior dev joining my team”.

This is helpful for me, but extra helpful as a source of context for the AI.

@BunnyCDN I hope you bunnies hop on my comment with one of those dope outfits!

Been on Bunny for almost 2 years now. Recommend you guys at every opportunity. 🙌

@billyjhowell @gregisenberg You spelled underrated wrong

@DaveThackeray @grok This was one of the posts I came across that really unlocked some ideas for me about how to use https://t.co/LPZMBc8oel quite differently from what I’d encountered previously.

@sandboxvibe Nice! I’m here for it. 🤓

[Robert Scoble @Scobleizer]

18 years with an autistic kid.

Our son, Milan, turns 18 today.

When he was two a doctor told us we might never get to talk to him. Several he goes to school with aren't verbal.

He talks today, but is a man of few words. When he speaks, especially if I'm angry about something, he always has a funny way to look at it. Several times, in those situations, he'll say "daddy you need a vacation." Or "daddy you need some anger management." Always gets me to laugh. Our family has a bunch of Milan's sayings that entertain them, like that.

When we first heard he was autistic and would have severe problems in life we saw many of our dreams disappear.

He isn't the kind of person to play baseball with you. Or, even, sit down and watch a movie with you (he walks out of most of them before they get half way).

But he puts in the work, every week we go see his speech therapist, same one we've seen for 13 years once a week. Which requires two hours of driving.

Looking back he has taught me so many things that I never would have thought I'd have to learn.

Like that the school system is not on parents side. We've had to hire lawyers and other specialists to make sure he gets the help he needs.

If you bring a life into this world, be ready to be taught lessons you never signed up for.

I love him so. I'm proud of him, and proud of myself. 16 years ago I couldn't see how we would get here.

If you have a young autistic kid, or some other kid who has special needs, you know just what I'm saying.

I see you, and know that it gets better. Mostly because you'll change yourself. Which isn't easy, but then life isn't always easy.

But, that’s just sticking to the plan!

Once the business is great, you can have someone put the laundry away for you!

Well, at least that’s how I justify it. 😆

@d4m1n @DmytroKrasun What about the convertible tipped you off? Does he prefer non-convertibles? 😂

[❇️ Chris Cameron | The ADHD Automator @learnwithcc]

@javavvitch I actually prefer that to the alternative: dealing with it, deludedly thinking the next chapter will somehow be where it gets better.

[❇️ Chris Cameron | The ADHD Automator @learnwithcc]

@itsolelehmann Pretty clear those people have never been vinyl junkies. 😂
