I launched modelcontextexperience.com this morning, got 5 signups so far (free trials so we’ll have to wait and see). Is that good? I don’t know. My goal is 15 paying customers that don’t cancel :)

I wasn't sure what kind of sub agent to set up in Claude Code, but I think I found the perfect use case: a translation agent. After we complete a feature, it makes sure the translation files are all updated. Eats up lotsa context. #laravel

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic
DHH Is Way Worse Than I Thought | jakelazaroff.com
DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is_way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

The way Sonnet 4.5 now speaks in Claude is just :chefs kiss. "Done". "Let me look at the existing file upload and processing code to understand what we're working with." They nailed the post training.

In my day to day coding, the new Claude Sonnet 4.5 is *wild*. Much better at instruction following, clearly smarter, ridiculously fast. I'm using Claude Code on #laravel

Ugh DHH being extremist right wing (defending Tate the rapist) is not what I wanted to know today, yet another rich asshole. Thank god I don’t work with Rails
I've always tried to separate the art from the artist, but it has become increasingly difficult in recent years.
Ages ago, when I was still a student, I taught myself Ruby on Rails for my senior thesis and fell in love. Fifteen years later, and I’ve used Rails at every job I’ve ever held in the tech industry. Fifteen years, and I still love Rails! But there’s something rotten at its core, and we share a name.
