Preparing to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Scheduling time to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Making a to-do list for the thing isn't doing the thing.

Telling people you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Messaging friends who may or may not be doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

Writing a banger tweet about how you're going to do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Hating on yourself for not doing the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on other people who have done the thing isn't doing the thing. Hating on the obstacles in the way of doing the thing isn't doing the thing.

Fantasizing about all of the adoration you'll receive once you do the thing isn't doing the thing.

Reading about how to do the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading about how other people did the thing isn't doing the thing. Reading this essay isn't doing the thing.

The only thing that is doing the thing is doing the thing.

@xxm459259 Thanks for sharing!

Officially moving back to codex now, especially that I can use it with my @openclaw and @opencode . It is that AWESOME!.

[Tibo @thsottiaux]

We did it, say hi to the $100 plan!

It should be the sweet spot for a ton of you. It comes with a ton of codex usage. And yes we are resetting the limits again too as I mentioned yesterday. Let’s keep building!

@trq212 ?? @claudeai @AnthropicAI is claude down?

I already tried to relogin.

[Raph @raphaeljamesm]

What the hell happened to @claudeai ?

@thsottiaux $100 @ChatGPTapp subscription plan PLEASE!

@nummanali @karpathy You can use obsidian in your phone with awesome UX!, I use it with openclaw with its obsidian-cli skill. Basically in mobile you can do, messaging platform with openclaw -> changes in md content -> see in your phone!.

7/ A beginner needs 500 digital shots to learn composition. A photographer who's taken 50,000 can pick up a film camera with 36 exposures and make every frame count.

Same constraint. Different meaning. You cannot be efficient before you've been inefficient.

1/ Everyone's mad about @claudeai usage limits this week. Users hitting caps 10x faster. "Saying hello costs 2% of my session." Anthropic investigating, cache bugs possibly inflating costs.
I'm going the other way. Downgrading to a lower plan. Here's why.

[Raph @raphaeljamesm]

6/ I think that's part of why the recent limit changes hit so hard. When your workflow is built on abundance, any tightening feels like an attack. But the abundance itself shaped the workflow in ways nobody noticed until it pulled back.

I used to work 12 hours a day. But thanks to AI, I now work 16.

5/ My system -- it's not the cleanest. But it ships.

I even think you can do better.

The fundamentals compound. Patterns solved once, agents reuse forever.

Shoutout @mattpocockuk for the skills + agentic dev guides that shaped a lot of this.

1/ I built https://t.co/gH3c0DTWAS -- a free emergency hotline directory for the Philippines -- in 5 days, mostly on remote while traveling.

Not because I'm fast. Because timeless design patterns compound harder than ever now.

Here's the scrappy system behind it.

4/ The pipeline:

Mac Mini running 24/7. Drop a request from my phone.

Agent picks it up > git worktree > sandbox > implements > tests > Playwright E2E > self-heals regressions > verifies against spec > PR > merge > deploy.

I sleep. It ships.
