Most of the value here is talking to claude about the feature, it asked a lot of questions that I had not considered and allowed me to build a more robust version than I would have otherwise.

subagent to build the feature. The feature got built, and works as I wanted.

The spec is 80 lines of text, the plan about the same, the code about 120 lines of #elixir code, and 51 tests.

It took about 2 hours, and since I dont really know Elixir I am sure it would have taken longer to do it alone

...clarify, tell claude to reread, would get more questions, back and forth. After a few iterations I felt I had clarified what I needed, and asked claude to build a plan for building the feature according to the document.

Claude did, I modified it a bit, and then I asked Claude to tell a...

I've watched @mitsuhiko.at latest video on his way of doing agentic coding. Watched it 3 times already.

Today I tried it. I wrote a spec for a feature. I asked Claude to read it and tell me what it thought. Had a back and forth, Claude would come in with questions, I would update the spec to...

I run ruff and basedpyright. I still have to sometimes manually unindent code because it gets out of whack and then the tools cant figure out the "correct" indentation

in any other language formatting is a solved issue

Is the Apple Watch automatically deleting podcast episodes (that I have not listened to), or is it an Overcast issue?

I cannot believe how bad the process of downloading episodes is on AW, and this "cleanup" is making everything worse.

This thing has WiFi and 5G, why is is so bad at downloading

Just finished season 2 of The Leftovers. I am still very confused with where this show is going; I don't understand the point of many plot lines and the motivations of most characters remains a mystery to me. But the show is very good at evoking sadness.

Onwards I guess.

I have now instructed it to save this workflow in claude.md for future use.

I used Claude Code to search through my entire @obsidian.md for certain phrases (and include common variants and misspellings) in both path and node contents. Then I told it to send the entire list of matched files to a running neovim instance in another tmux window as an arglist. Amazed.

I sometimes do respond with that url at work, if I know the person really well. But most often I just ignore the message until the other person follows up with something more.

That some grownups are blind to this does make me wonder what blind spots I have managed to bring with me.

I am watching The Leftovers for the first time. What a weird weird show it is.

18XXc v3.15 is out. It contains a fix for some nasty bugs that affected custom games that go introduced in v3.12. Turns out rewriting most of the state in the app in one go (procrastinated over 3 years) did have some undesirable side effects #18xx
