1986: I started in engineering. Worked on these bad boys.
1996?: One of the seniors drove round the country recording people saying "Phone home", "Phone the office" *in regional accents* as voice recognition started to appear.
Today: I had a real-time conversation with Vapi.ai
Holy moly.

LLMs are tremendously seductive, particularly with Anthropic bringing out skills, plugins, etc.
But sometimes, you just need a simple automation script. Absolutely use the LLM to write it, but it's *SO* much faster to run a script than to tell the LLM to do something that could be automated.

Knocked up a quick tool with Claude Code the other day.
My prompt was: "See this screenshot of a site, replicate it, but the search function should be to the API defined at https://...."
That was it, and it worked with 1 minor tweak.
Seriously impressive.

Just been going round the houses a bit trying to resolve a 401 Unauthorised error with Claude Code.
Took a while, but now the 401 has gone.
I get a 404 instead.

Every MCP you are using in Claude Code adds to the tokens you send on send on every request.
Every method the MCP has, that you're not using, is a massive waste of your allocation.
If you're only using a few MCP functions, get CC to create a CLI tool that does the same thing

I used Claude Desktop to investigate some app options, and it ended up writing a little bash script for me.
Claude Code spotted an issue with the script.
We're down the rabbit hole, folks.

Useful tip if you are about to do some major layout changes to your UI when a lot of the functionality is working and you're using an AI coding tool:
Get it to create ASCII art, and give it ASCII art for any changes you want to make.
Then get it to code against that.

I recently added a container to my docker stack (running a few 3rd party apps), to alert me when I'm running old versions.
It's possibly my favourite bit of hands-free automation. Simple, painless, does one thing well.
What's your favourite tiny automation that makes you smile?

Still are, if I'm honest.
