Today I needed a background image for a story post. Haven't tried the Banana in a while so I thought let's do it.

Probably my prompting skills but it looked terrible.

Made me create a Claude Code skill that actually creates beautiful graphics in all formats.

We heard you wanted to use Codex rate limit resets on your own time.

Starting today, we’re rolling out the ability to save rate limit resets to use later.

We’re starting Go, Plus, Pro, and Business users with one free reset:

@LeilaHormozi Congrats and I wish you guys the best 🥰

[Maximilian Weißenbäck @max_cjw]

Highly recommend to watch this. https://t.co/e9TftR7qEi

Love that we have access to an even higher intelligence now with 5.5 but hearing about how top 1% AI users like @JqOnly @realsigridjin @JunghwanNa8355 think about solving problems at such a high level is so fascinating.

[Maximilian Weißenbäck @max_cjw]

@openclaw I hear GPT-5.4 improvements left and right. Meanwhile, I do the OpenAI Codex OAuth flow, it succeeds, and when trying to send a message I just get HTML back. Claude thinks the message headers are triggering Cloudflare's bot-mitigation.

Currently I'm benchmarking the most popular OSS whisper tools so I can transcribe locally.

I'm testing new workflows every day and really want to share the insights. I might do a weekend lock in to finish the https://t.co/bOCSbRUxGL design so I can finally share everything.

Plan was bed at 7pm, up at 4am. Then I hit my Whisper API limit. 5h of meetings to transcribe so Claude set up an overnight script.
Obviously couldn't sleep and went down a rabbit hole. Faster-Whisper and WhisperX claim 4x speedup. Anyone tested those or something better on Mac?

[Maximilian Weißenbäck @max_cjw]

I don't know if it's just my X bubble but by following the right people you always stay on the edge. They also share sauce from the trenches.

This article from @realsigridjin gives great insight on what really matters in AI. Not the output but the system that generated it.

In the last few weeks I tried all the top meeting transcribers but it felt like a scam paying $20 when a Claude subscription costs the same.

So I built my own using only official Apple frameworks. From now on it's $0 and all files are local. Gotta love this era

Had a call with a new client yesterday. Successful dentist, owns multiple practices. He decided on the logo and name for a new project right there on the call.

I've seen this in every 6-7 figure client. They don't succeed by thinking longer. They succeed by deciding faster.

[Maximilian Weißenbäck @max_cjw]

I spent the last 10 minutes petting a mushroom in my terminal 😂 He is called Umbral and likes to give up mid sentence haha. This is what AI development has come to and I'm here for it.

@alistaiir this is awesome. I would love to keep it and work hard to level it up.

[Maximilian Weißenbäck @max_cjw]

@bcherny @itsolelehmann Yes pls

[Maximilian Weißenbäck @max_cjw]

Had two client calls today. Both of them came from the same person. One client who was so happy with her results that she referred three people to us.

That's why I love this. There's no downside to putting your clients' results first. They win. You win.

I keep spending my nights researching new ways to use AI. So I wrote a script that shuts down my Mac at 19:00 every day.

AI helping me quit AI.

Every cowork session with my cofounder starts with chess. No screens. No agenda.

Just trying to outplay each other for 15 minutes.

By the time we open the laptops our brains are already in strategy mode.

Decision quality gets a boost for the rest of the day.

[Maximilian Weißenbäck @max_cjw]

@boringmarketer Wanted to set it up but I got stopped by Anthropic shipping so hard. Remote control is already really good.

[Maximilian Weißenbäck @max_cjw]

@fidexcode Did the AI CEO hire the human for an hour to be a holder?

[Maximilian Weißenbäck @max_cjw]

Anybody want the Claude Code skill for this?

Funny how before it was easier to create images than to write code.

Now with Claude Code it's actually easier to write the code and then just make a screenshot haha
