Wow! I just learned about X's communities while at the same finding out they are shutting down in 15 days. I'm way behind.

But I did get my ticket for the new home for #buildinpublic.

Wanna come with me? https://t.co/0WM0yBKWo1

I keep hesitating to edit code #ClaudeCode wrote—it feels rude. But it's MY code. Claude won't be offended. So now I tell him: "I made changes. Lint it, ask me about anything I touched, flag any rule violations." Everyone's happy. #BuildInPublic #VibeCoding

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

Oh sweet #ClaudeCode... When you tell me to click "Clean N non-breaking spaces" and I tell you there's nothing to click, that means there is no button for it, not that you need to check what you're counting. #AIisAnnoyingSometimes #BuildingInPublic #headslap

My blog migration tool that I'm building with #ClaudeCode is also going through old links that might not be good anymore, as well as finding sneaky little infiltration links (like links for the little blue pill). #AIAssistedDevelopment #BuildingInPublic

@KaiXCreator I'm building an app that helps me migrate the old posts from my compromised blog (that're now in a csv) into the new instance of the WordPress blog. Thanks for asking! #BuildingInPublic

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

AH! After phase 0 and phase 1 were finished, I asked Claude Code when I would see it in Streamlit. Not until phase 5! (not factorial) We moved the UI up to before phase two, and using it has already surfaced some problems. #BuildingInPublic #ClaudeCode

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

I'm getting Claude and Bernard (chatGPT) to map out the plan to create a migration app to get the old https://t.co/rdx6715AmD posts to the new WordPress instance. I'm not going to forget this time to create a UI.md markdown file! #BuildingInPublic

My old (but still relevant) math blog https://t.co/CD3pt5jQ2C got hacked and I didn't catch it in time. I'm reposting all the old content + checking each one. I was doing this manually, but it's SO much work. I'm fixing to build a tool for it in Claude Code! #BuildingInPublic

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

Regardless of what is said anywhere, it always seems @Johnny_Joey hits the nail on the head.

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

@mathhombre Here's the interview post from 2011! (not factorial): https://t.co/sXRd4lL7Wb Might be fun to do an update when I get everything back!

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

@mathhombre Hey you! I'm trying to get all the old https://t.co/CD3pt5jQ2C posts back up (and making sure all the links are still working). I was so pleased to see that not only is your blog still up, but you are still active! Sweet!

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

@dansmath Hey you! I'm reconstructing https://t.co/CD3pt5knSa and I just put up this one: https://t.co/RriCbixVH7 (it gives credit to you for suggesting it!) xoxo

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

Holy cow - I finally have https://t.co/CD3pt5knSa back up and now I'm re-posting all the old content. Darn hackers took me down and I didn't have a backup. My daddy taught me to have a backup and somehow I either misplaced my backup or never made one to keep. #LessonLearned

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

@AndrewYNg's joke in the Advanced Learning Algorithms class on @coursera reminds me of my favorite joke: What type of mathematician will always keep a secret? A Discrete Mathematician!

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

I'm enjoying the heck out of @AndrewYNg's Machine Learning Specialization on @coursera. I started the original one many many years ago and loved it. I'm super excited to be doing it again with all the new stuff - and working toward the finish!

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

There are companies in this world with meh customer service, there are companies with terrible customer service and then there are companies like @AlgenAir and @rattasupernote with AMAZING customer service. I wish those other two categories would learn from them!

How you know when you’re a seasoned developer: When the lawn mower breaks and you text the husband (who’s at the hunting property) all the details of the problem and you end the thread of texts with, “Thanks for letting me use you as a rubber duck, I know what the problem is…”

@MLB @MLBFanSupport I had to switch to iHeart Radio to listen to the @astros game, but I pay $4/month to listen on the app. What's going on?! (I almost had to pull out my daddy's transistor radio!)

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

@RODEOHOUSTON I've googled like crazy and can't find a single close up image of what those "strings" look like to let them tell if the barrier was broken. Any chance y'all can post a close-up of that?

[Bon Crowder @MathFour]

@foxandfriends Maybe @kilmeade can wear fun socks with cowboy boots printed on them for #TexasTuesday.
