Learning AI tools by replacing all the apps I use each day with highly personalized versions

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

Built myself a pomodoro timer menubar tamagotchi creature thingy for Mac. Wanted something for focused work sessions that didn't take itself too seriously. it's been fun. Called Time Flies free on the Mac app store

@homegymcoop Turns out all that shits heavy even before you want it to be though

@datingbyblaine @Duderichy It’s not the point but we just sold our spark and it’s the best car we’ve ever had. Surprisingly roomy in that little thing. You can get him to swap cars but Im guessing the spark still gets a mention on date 1 😂

@phuctm97 They’re giving refunds now due to the openclaw change. Worth trying again.

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

@ColinGardiner The race now is the premium models figuring out that fit and creating the lock in before the open source tooling and providing catches up

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

@ColinGardiner I don’t think this is proving out to be true on the dev side as much. Your preferred workflow becomes the lock in. Think that’s why you’re seeing stuff like the OpenAI skills for Claude code. As the PM fit develops in other verticals think you’ll see similar lock ins

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

At first the Claude code leak made me nervous cause I’m definitely on some list somewhere over there. But it’s actually way more satisfying now that I know they know

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

Aluminium is objectively better than aluminum. Extra u in colour, sure whatever floats your boat it looks a little fancy. But we win this one - that’s silly

[Jonny Miller @jonnym1ller]

@gpt_alex @danshipper ah not a typo, @AtlasForgeAI defaults to British spelling ;)

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

It also doesn’t have to be one or the other. Big fan of things you can put on auto pilot and stop thinking about, even if not optimal. Putting the debt snowball on auto pilot is what allowed us to focus on building our startup. The default path worked regardless of outcome

[Robbie Hendricks @robbiehendricks]

One of my friends has followed the Dave Ramsey debt snowball plan to the letter.

Attends every annual conference. Proud Ramsey advocate.

Early 40s. Husband is a cop. Couple kids. Just a great, red-blooded Ohio family.

Probably makes $200k/year as a household (just a guess).

Over the last 10 years:

• Paid off house
• Paid off cars
• 529s funded for kids
• On track to retire around 55

Now look, I’m obviously a debt-user and advocate for going out there and building wealth.

The Ramsey plan is not a character fit for me, as I’m admittedly wired very ambitious, and enjoy investing, building my business, and taking on that responsibility (and risk).

But these folks are doing better than 90% of the country - in a stress free manner - simply by:

• Finding a plan
• Sticking to the plan
• Not increasing expenses as income and savings grow

Something to be said for that, I think.

Stuck to their guns, didn’t care that it was “boring”.

Didn’t listen to other people telling them to be more aggressive.

Very happy for them.

In the mood to fire up my pc, kick off 4 hours of steam updates and then shut it all back down for another month

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

@jessethanley @Apple Sometimes when I’m feeling bored I like to open up the settings app to see if I can find literally anything

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

Watching Colin get even more excited than you are about a first $50 sale is a right of passage of working with him

[Colin Gardiner @ColinGardiner]

Nothing like a portco signing its first contract.

I am just as excited for the first $ in as the last $ in.

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

@jasonfried I agree in the framing of “we should build a custom version of this” but think the in chat experience the apps are trending to will remove entire classes of things from needing to be built at all. That’s the same as ad-hoc under the covers (ephemeral in chat)

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

You’re not getting $3k of tests for $65. You’re getting $150 of tests marked up by a corrupt doctors office and then eating it through premiums. Find your favorite discount lab in the nearest weight lifting forum and don’t play this game. Everyone uses quest, pick your reseller

[farbood @farbood]

Canceling my Function membership. Same labs through my insurance $65. Function charges me $309.

Quest appointments are so easy now. I get lab orders for whatever I want from my doc, book with Quest, submit to my insurance and I get $3000 of labs for $65.

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

EVERYTHING IS HUGE

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

Quick little utility that turns all your terminal outputs into bionic style bold prefixes to make reading large Claude Code outputs easier. has been nice so far. Screenshot is a fictional demo Claude wanted you to see.

Can open source if anyone interested.

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

@tunguz @GeoffTRoberts I think the fact that software never ate the world may actually be the exact reason it’s plausible ai could eat the whole software world though

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

What the world needed most right now was definitely not an entire season of having to watch Toto and Russell be so happy

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

@ColinGardiner What’s to be mixed about. It’s fucking awful.

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

This kind of stuff is my favorite part of coding with agents. I love adding little stupid delightful things to the apps I know are just for me. Rope simulations, animations, sound effects. It didn’t make sense before but now it’s free

[Morten Just @mortenjust]

it got weird today, but

[Tiniscule @tiniscule]

@moseskagan My working theory is that most baby advice or Amazon purchases in the first year were more to preoccupy us while time passed than actually impact the situation
