OMG, I've got both Claude Code Max and Gemini Ultra now in my Zed editor! Frankly, I was really confused about how to do when I bought these advanced plans. I didn't know if I needed an API key, which I did get, or how I was going to integrate it. It wasn't very straightforward in my mind.

We are truly living in matchable times for developers. I asked Claude to give me help in testing. It offered to make some test files for me based on my capabilities and hardware.

my app takes obj, fbx, glb, and gltf files from 2GB to way way less so they can work on the web and mobile devices well. Has api access to quickly go through lots of your files processing needs. When i senses you've got a OBJ file, it offers to include the mtl and texture files.

Pushing through—Last day if all goes to plan (and it always does). Today I'm finishing the pay/credit and final security check (see prev post). This after a 9 day from concept, the bare metal, git managed, ssl, front-end web ui, api, mesh opt code.

Well, well, what do you know using AI as an experienced programmer just might work. I just had AI evaluate my code and gave me a B+.

Ran out of calls using Gemini 3 even with a paid key. So good as it was end of the day, late.

2025-12-07 - Surreal moment just happened. I just got back from a week-long working vacation on my app. And as you know, I've built my home NAS with the local Git server. I was just here committing for the first time back home. And across the room, I could hear the hard drives writing the Git push!

Oh, and an update on my very favorite travel bag (see below). Well, visiting my daughter, she didn't give up. She loved the color of the bag as I do. She was determined to see if the oil(?) could come out. She did it! it's as good as new! Happy.

I went ahead and bought an API key to continue dev with Gemini 3 Pro. It was the best experience I've had with Ai ever.

I'm on vacation, a working vacation, in HN USA. I've put a hold on my stand sales. Bought two new 3d printers to make things quicker & to help introduce a new product—A continuity stand! The best thing is I got in on black friday deal from BB & $ saved went to 4 year fix/replacement warranty!
