Got myself a Samsung S10 FE tablet. Besides the iPads having significantly faster chips and iOS apps only being available on iPads (which I don't care about), the thing does literally *everything* better than the Base iPad and even iPad Air. I'm super impressed!

Beans and Claude are such a great team. Instead of whipping up a plan that will be long forgotten the very next session, just put it into a bean, and it'll stick around until you want to iterate on or implement it.

title: Refactor prompt command to use text/template
status: todo
type: task
created_at: 2025-12-08T20:16:08Z

## Summary
Refactor the `beans prompt` generation to use Go's `text/template` package instead of
string builders and manual string concatenation.
## Motivation
The current implementation likely uses `strings.Builder` or similar manual string
construction, which can be harder to read, maintain, and modify. Using `text/template` would:
- Make the output format more declarative and easier to understand
- Separate the template structure from the data logic
- Make it easier to customize or extend the prompt format in the future
- Follow Go best practices for text generation
## Checklist
- [ ] Review the current `beans prompt` implementation to understand its structure
- [ ] Create a template file or embedded template string for the prompt output
- [ ] Refactor the command to use `text/template` with appropriate data structures
- [ ] Ensure the output remains identical to the current implementation
- [ ] Add/update tests to verify the refactored code produces correct output](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:r5vna26rxavzyk5iuyqumdrg/bafkreifvo6tfvjhnqzmc5thhyoi2cvv2jcazaemjfgto3umlyhr5cgwbvi@jpeg)

Bluesky's "composable moderation" means nothing if the default moderation is terrible.
It's been removed. It should've never been there to begin with though and it seems like it can happen again any time. This makes bsky extremely unattractive to use. I don't want to have to fight to defend myself as a real artist. The system is good in spirit but the execution needs to be changed.
This is not AI!!! Help me remove this claim? Everyone who's visited me at cons has seen me do live drawings!! Who flags this?? @aimod.social
