@trots_allt That's super kind, thank you, I'm glad it's been useful! 😃 �

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@HeatherLaraTV Let go of your fears. Become the killer player you were always meant to be. 😈

Although amusingly, the number of AI startups in my open tabs THAT ARE ALREADY DEAD is out of this world. IT'S ONLY BEEN A COUPLE OF YEARS! 😂

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

Claude Code Skill that uses an SQLite DB + custom shell script to organize thousands of old bookmarks/open tabs into my Obsidian vault. Knowledge from URLs, tasks, UI inspiration, all the things.

This had been on my mind for ~20 years. That's value, to me.

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

Something I get a visceral negative reaction to, is when people say stuff like:

> Claude implemented this fix, I tested it, it seems to work well. Here's what Claude had to say..

It's like... dude, you're a professional "software engineer". Own & understand what you're doing.

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@james406 That’s what I did last year! https://t.co/r2nNJtZQCz

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

While people are out there working to make AI more useful, I'm going the other way.

AI that doesn't do anything for you: THE billion dollar idea.

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

Any time I feel afraid of striking out on my own and founding a startup, afraid of being unable to find customers... I should really remember that these are -still- a thing, and -they- have customers.

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

There are so many little scams out there. I used a spend-limited card from @mercury for my LLC's registered agent, and it blocked a completely unexpected $100 charge. Went to check, they wanted to charge $100 for a state form I filled out in 3 mins saying "yep, nothing's changed"

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

32% off… but it was never actually $250. It’s weird seeing Amazon directly show it’s a lie, not even trying to hide it anymore.

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@HeatherLaraTV I would say as long as people are engaging - you’re doing your job well. Let them say whatever they want - they’re watching the video and boosting your engagement stats, it’s a good thing!

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@branmcconnell I totally get that yep. Been tinkering with a side project macOS/iOS app that can import chats from all the different places so you can back everything up and keep it (and chat with AI there too, as one usually does).

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

Spent today constantly corrupting SQLite DBs in WAL mode by using them on a Docker host and the container at the same time, and it took me way longer than is reasonable to realize that when the docs say you can’t do it on network drives… that includes Docker!

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@Heckcetera Happy birthday heck! I hope you’re making it a great one. ☺️

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@HeatherLaraTV Wow congratulations, that is AMAZING, well freaking done. Good luck!!! I’ll be keeping an eye on my timeline for updates!

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@branmcconnell Wait that’s nuts. Is Twitter really making that much from ads that they have that much to give away, do you have millions of impressions, or something?

And, scary thought: If this is how much money they pay out to you… just how much money are FB/Insta/etc KEEPING per user? 🤯

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@branmcconnell @ycombinator Yeah I believe that’s always been YC’s stance anyway, that they fund founders, not ideas. So if it’s someone they believe in, they’ll still be there for them after they graduate, for whatever idea they have (even stuff they think of in college), which is indeed very very cool.

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@branmcconnell @adamwathan I agree - the future will be us as PMs for agents. Bringing our experience and intuition to steer the AI. I’ve been doing it myself - 5+ AI terminals grinding 40 estimated hours worth of work in less than a day. Doing that efficiently is a very different job.

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

Got to meet and chat with @zenorocha at Laracon US! Love @resend, they’re such a great product and company, and I was fangirling so hard it’s embarrassing

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

@matsugfx It reminds me of an old macOS wallpaper, kinda neat

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

The whole thing is a trip. What a world we live in.

[Bruno Moreira @pocketarc]

I've been working on a project that is almost exclusively AI written, and decided to bring back Rico Delgado, the CTO from my 2023 AI coworker experiment. 😂
