my nephew says I have a "crazy engineering mind"

I was always impressed by the MLB tv player and experience and it felt optimized for baseball watching. Little things like easily jumping to a specific innings, finding stats, avoiding spoilers if you started watching a game after it started. Not loving this ESPN switch thus far

AI coding tools may boost productivity but they also boost the damage bad engineers can do

Claude code just now: "Let me re-read the full file with fresh eyes." Uh...

@AGrillz @ycombinator this is legit impressive, nice infinite scroll :)

- There is a certain ability to tinker that I find myself missing, might be the lack of visible code (you can see this but it's not the default)
- I find myself wanting more transparency on the decisions made and the why behind them (why use certain technologies, patterns, etc.)
- I can't help but feel like I could build a lot of what I want faster but I realize I'm not their target demographic (2/2)

Decided to try @Lovable with the free credits they are offering today. I feel like the thing it does well is the structured prompting. Being able to right good prompts is a skill and probably one of the challenges getting started with Open AI and Claude and whatever else. They make this more accessible.

Some other thoughts:
- I don't feel like the results are what I want– there is a certain craft missing in the designs and even iterating isn't really getting me there (1/2)

@AGrillz @codyetc seems directly correlated with your codebase contributions

I asked a chatbot a question about my coffee machine after reading some comment threads (admittedly a bad decision) and it told me "I'd say close those comment threads and go enjoy the coffee." and to "go enjoy a decaf" 😵‍💫

I'm trying to buy sparkling water from @Costco and one of the suggestions is not like the others wtf

@united @romainhuet @united agree your app is generally great but it failed to notify me I was rebooked onto a new flight last week resulting in me spending the night in LAX. I was already at your counter waiting for an agent and checking the app. Can you help look into it?

@frank_ I think you just described bias

[Seema @seemaisms]

@MikeLyngaas @NotionHQ You can change it :)

after 10 years of iterm2 and prezto i'm switching to ghostty and starship (with basically the prezto prompt ported over) 😵‍💫

@AGrillz i’m sure you can guess my answer 😄

DODGERS!!!! What a wild game and amazing victory! World champs!

my brother: what’s 300 divided by 25
me almost immediately: 12
rest of my family: (trying to figure out the answer) uhhh
me: i told you guys it’s 12
my mom: i think it’s 13?
me: … i can’t

@TessHuelskamp I sent someone logs for 9 am Pacific time when they wanted the ones for 6 am Eastern 😬
