Oh wait, do I have to post an image so that it doesn't get throttled:

I made bun --compile for Python. It's called fang. It's pretty beta but it works. macOS and Linux only atm. Maybe it's useful? https://t.co/kQnquy17L7

@mattpocockuk Yeah, I got so frustrated trying to explain this I built a skill I use for this when trying to describe interfaces and how they work: https://t.co/MowqQ3cwAw

Wild. 100 day streak for writing. This app like revolutionized my writing habits. Never would've guessed I could hit 100 but it's now just part of my daily routine -- but the app keeps me motivated even when I'm not.

If I'm writing my own agent (who isn't?) does it have to have Claw in the name?

Expectation: the age of the IDE is over
Reality: we’re going to need a bigger IDE
(imo).

It just looks very different because humans now move upwards and program at a higher level - the basic unit of interest is not one file but one agent. It’s still programming.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

One feature this will have: No Shuffle on albums. Playlists -- sure fine, ok. But on albums. Unless you like answer a prompt that is like "ARE YOU FUCKING SURE? type the word SHUFFLE below" -- then maybe I'll let you shuffle an album.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

I'm now listening to music in my own superior music player that I _started_ vibe code--no, just *coding* a few hours ago that is already pretty good? The future is now! Needs a better name than MusicApp lol! But like... look at this shit! Follow for updates? haha.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

I think also we need to stop calling it vibe-coding. It's just coding now. This is just what programming is now. Just like we don't hand code assembly anymore, we're just not going to hand-code Javascript or C or Python. It's over.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

I think my dream might be to only use software I've written.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

I love vibe coding. All these shitty apps that have been tormenting me for years? I can now just fucking rewrite them! I'm looking at you Apple Music!

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

Again -- just used it to refactor a UI I couldn't quite get right. First time success.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

Describing UX to AI is enraging. "the card animates to the full page and the sidebar shrinks to make room and the other list updates based on what I picked". And then it gets it wrong. Nah, now it's just: morph, yield, grow.

npx skills add rawktron/skills --skill ux-vocabulary

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

I've had good success where the above description built what I wanted first try rather than me tearing my hair out trying to describe what I meant and it misunderstanding.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

I had to add "edit" mode to https://t.co/priTdDaLeZ because I'm done drafting but I don't want to lose my streak / keep collecting artifacts! Sometimes I delete words now! So it now supports "edit" mode changing daily challenges and what your daily "target" is.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

The gap between working on a book vs. working on software in terms of the pace of development is wild. Writing a book feels positively glacial in pace when working on software feels like warp speed.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

THE END. 91,543 words. 54-day writing streak to write the remaining 48,888 words when I thought I was "halfway" there. This one was hard fucking work. Now to start the part that takes even longer. Editing it.

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

50 day writing streak! This goofy writing streak app has basically helped me (nearly) finish latest WIP! It's available (free) on my author website: https://t.co/priTdDaLeZ

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

@elonmusk Um, so my Kardashev Cycle series was not intended as a manual! Haha but hey congrats on making it a reality? Film rights still available! https://t.co/yxaGT87tHC

[Pete Garcin @rawktron]

Just a reminder that all this talk of Kardashev Scales that I wrote an entire series called the Kardashev cycle about basically exactly all this haha. https://t.co/yxaGT86VS4
