prev: @snap, @yelp. Building @getfeedbrew & @DroneTrails on the side.

Explaining the Ocarina of Time Remake to Gen Z

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Having Claude auto-generate a changelog as it builds features has been surprisingly useful. Now I search it more than git log when looking for feature changes.

Just switched over the home network topology to fiber. Eero devices make it so easy to replace and add nodes

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Trying to do some frontend for my project, and all the frameworks have like 12 steps and say the words "that's it" at the end. I don't even know what I'm doing at this point.

@ImSh4yy What do you use for auth in TanStack ? I am looking into using TanStack for my next project

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Played through a lot of DQ3 on the switch. Not sure why I never stumbled on this series before.

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Trying out something new with this. Data is fully on-device now. Navigation is more TikTok style but I want to build on this theory that I keep consuming same category of news. So want a more explore vs exploit mode style news reader.

[Feed Brew @getfeedbrew]

New version out today. Much cleaner, more sources to brew your news from.

@shantanugoel @MindOfBharat Is India really DR (perf advertising) ? I thought it’s more brand except for e-commerce sector. I felt China was more performance than brand

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Its pretty much sucked at recommending code from ground up which is why I've resorted to simply having a cookie cutter template that I work out of.

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Got through a very complicated piece of code today with Claude. Mostly one shot through all the refactoring. I had to include a README file on specific choices to use. But once you have a md file with infra, how the pieces of code work, its great at contextualizing.

Conversation awareness in the new air pods pro 2 is amazing until you start singing along with the music. It thinks you're having a conversation and reduces the volume 🥲

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

The SWE benchmark scores on O3 is insane. Seems like we're headed into a world where more can be done with less. Fine-tuning on domain related information built over reasoning means you could probably get an agent shipping on company tools pretty soon.

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Finally fixed some long standing performance issues with @DroneTrails. I am now officially done with serverless

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Man, Claude has been struggling for the past couple of days. Frequently running into capacity issues even after being a pro user.

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

@Akshay_Iyer92 I am well past those days now 😂

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

I was in Japan for 14 days and I miss it a lot. I miss the food, being in a huge city and the public transportation. Its so well done for tourists to enjoy

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Did a pretty interesting project with Theta Sketches this week for some real time counting.

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Anyone else notices the font is bigger in the comment sections ? Its kinda throwing me off

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

@pitdesi Curry leaf for Biryani, fried chicken @ the bird, dan dan noodles at momo noodles food truck are my usual suspects. Hila Gelato is amazing for ice creams

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

Switched to just statically changing as seasons go by.

[Rahul Ravindran @soupyn00dles]

I use Philips Hue to run automations for my outdoor lights. To have them turn on at sunrise/sunset requires I give it location permission even when its not running. What sorcery are they using to figure out sunset time.
