Every "teach your kids to code" resource assumes your kid can read.

Mine's 3. So I wrote a computational thinking curriculum for pre- and early readers. Unplugged activities, real CS concepts. 12 weeks of building real things together!

@MerriamWebster My toddler, in the morning, after sleeping in

Antonym: us, his parents, after being woken up by him ten times last night

Having kids is expensive because with each one the number of domain names you have to pay to squat on grows exponentially

[Diana Park @madebydia]

@littlebayschool This is the most n=1 kid 😂 It's been harder work for sure, I don't get as many "breaks" where he's just playing on the computer for a bit. But it's been good for us so far

Hotels are businesses subject to the rules of capitalism

Airbnb is subject to capitalism but the airbnbs essentially compete on who can make the best Instagram post

If you choose airbnbs you are choosing to be at the mercy of the average population most of the time

That's terrifying and it should be

[Diana Park @madebydia]

@TE701 Well that would be the simplest!

What email app works best with Mac, iOS, and Codex Computer Use?

[Diana Park @madebydia]

@Rajesh23MD And humans, if possible

[Diana Park @madebydia]

Thanks to the Codex app I now use my computer more when I'm not at it than when I am

[Diana Park @madebydia]

@Aella_Girl I talk to Hermes via iMessage on my Apple Watch to do this. Not a ring but it's close!

Some notes on safety measures, before your agent starts setting things up

1. Tell it never to use npm

Wait that's it actually

[Diana Park @madebydia]

I set up a new MacBook and only touched Settings once, to enable Codex Computer Use.

Codex installed every app I needed from email client to Stream Deck, set up all my accounts (I just punched in my passwords), ssh keys, themed my Kitty with Starship, and stood up @code with great DX settings and a beautiful Catpuccin theme (even got the icons without me asking it to)

What used to take me all day or a bunch of scripting was finished before my second cup of coffee

Anything with programs, settings, anything administrative or fiddly — you should be chatting, not clicking

Any company that's letting their employees set up a work laptop manually is wasting days of dev time

@made_in_cosmos @maiab Personally I just tell my AI what I've got on hand in my fridge and what my general fitness/macronutrient goals are and ask for a days or a week's meal plan plus ideas for my toddler. Works great!

[Diana Park @madebydia]

@maiab The lower mental overhead alone is worth it

I also stick to my macros better too!

[Diana Park @madebydia]

@waltz @maiab Codex Computer Use can see them via your native Mac app!

@blennon_ @levelsio There's always @interaction

We put all my 3yo's toys away

Turns out LLMs and kids have a lot in common

@maiab Hmm what's that creaking noise
