I just tried conductor.build and oh no I'm going to start hitting claude code usage limits again aren't I
Conductor - Run a team of coding agents on your Mac
Create parallel Codex + Claude Code agents in isolated workspaces. See at a glance what they're working on, then review and merge their changes.

i think a core beef that i have with a lot of this "automation is bad" sentiment lately is that there is no inherent moral good in laboring
the story of humanity is one of invention, where we improve our conditions by building things that help us do more things more easily

I've been sitting with the discomfort here a bunch, and to me this is it, right? What is being suggested is that I engage in an act of self-flagellation (resolving thousands of lines of merge conflicts by hand) because the richest man in the world uses some of the same underlying tech to peddle CSAM
This is a miracle. Do you know how many hours of work this saves me

Big updates for Flint, my note-taking project. Spent the holidays reworking just about all of it. New UI. New backend. Now uses Automerge for a local-first foundation.

Blogged about how I'm designing Flint to make note capture as zero-friction as possible. The key is designing for different organizing time horizons (defer but track).
Also, Flint is now in open beta! Try it out if note-taking sounds interesting: www.flintnote.com

Same. Claude has basically replaced the todo list on my phone. Great idea while out and about? Just kick off a Claude session and at the very least I'll have an interesting plan to tweak later.
I think one of the underrated things about LLMs for coding is that they make writing code on a mobile phone massively more feasible
I can build small but useful pieces of software entirely on my phone now - without even needing to pay full attention, so it's compatible with being out in the world

Flint is really coming together. My Thanksgiving week project was adding experimental EPUB support. Now you can highlight and chat with the LLM about your books!
