There are three kinds of hotel showers 🚿

1: Rain shower that floods the bathroom
2: Automatically alternating water temperature between “freezing” and “boiled alive”
3: Combination of 1 and 2

Current status: very much gone overboard with a Zebra ZD421 printing inventory labels. From a Next.js app that remotely connects to the printer over Tailscale through a tiny app that runs on a NUC on the same network.

If your job was mostly typing code, you were always one productivity improvement away from being redundant. Now there's a tool that types faster than you ever will. 👉🏻 https://t.co/oIKqTE4O8z

So @PaddleHQ's chatbot must be the most clueless I've ever interacted with. Please just use humans if you can't get bots right.

@wesoudshoorn @conductor_build I was thinking just Claude Code, which is very lightweight :)

[Roy Tomeij @roy]

@wesoudshoorn @conductor_build “Wrong” in the sense that when running large models locally, the Studio doesn’t outperform the Mini, since more RAM but not significantly more GPU doesn’t improve performance. So very dependent on what you want to do with it. Very doubtful you use the 64GB on your machine :)

[Roy Tomeij @roy]

@wesoudshoorn And a Studio is probably overkill. For many tasks, such as running large models, you may be better off with a Mini (or even two at a lower price).

[Roy Tomeij @roy]

@wesoudshoorn Oh, and use tmux sessions to Claude can keep going after you disconnect. Throw these two tweets in Claude and they can make you a manual 😅

Time for a walk 🤷🏻‍♂️

@DanilSafronovv I'm no longer involved with the day-to-day operations. Best to ask @thijsc, if he's still on here, or just reach out to [email protected] :)

It seems Claude stopped reporting model usage at https://t.co/9371oj9gTe. Did it end up elsewhere, or is it gone entirely?

[Roy Tomeij @roy]

@wesoudshoorn @shadcn Rails results seem okay, but I have to be much more aware of prompting. Next.js has indeed been great. "Unfortunately," this CRUD app is better served by Rails due to the amount of server-side stuff.

[Roy Tomeij @roy]

Is it me, or is Claude Code much faster and more accurate (one-shot) when building an app in Next.js vs Rails?

[Roy Tomeij @roy]

@wesoudshoorn I have a ton of those, but not (yet) here. Even have a 1960s PTT pay phone on the wall 😅

[Roy Tomeij @roy]

@garmdotcom Yeah, that's my assumption, too.

[Roy Tomeij @roy]

@riebnik That's what it says, and then proceeds to recommend Rails for a mostly CRUD app (which makes sense, but is slow to build by Claude).

People who fire their team of 30+ and replace them with a swarm of agents running on 70+ Mac Minis are in for a rough awakening 😈

@quatermain32 True, and at lightning speed, thanks to AI.
