Sometimes Claude gives me pause, trying Opus 5.5. for the first time, the autocomplete prompt. Should I be worried?

[Billy Heaton @pixelhandler]

@AboundWealth @shivae372 @AboundWealth what is the feature that keeps you actively using that budget software. 14 years of loyalty is amazing.

[Billy Heaton @pixelhandler]

@shivae372 @AboundWealth well said, good budget software rewards you for using it.

Lately, I think more about systems of building than building systems. New post on containment, outside-in TDD, browser automation, and the introspective practice of designing how you work in the age of AI.
