Dang. That looks solid.

Our local hasn’t changed since the 70’s. It’s the best place in town.
If you had a little calendar action I would buy one.
I’m running mine on a TI-83 Plus calculator.
The left one looks on par with what the average person would take. 500 of these in their camera roll that will never see the light of day because they’re hot garbage.
Mine sounds sufficient yeah?
That’s impressive. My dad would deploy what he called “shortcuts”. No maps. Just vibes. 3 hours later 😅
$15/month in this economy? I’m buying a physical map and figuring it out at that rate.
It’s on my list for the weekend! Worth a watch?
Nice write up. I run Claude Code out of Cursor and have run into similar iterative needs for UI things. It’s like they all struggle a little to know and remember taste. Even with the markdown files as reference.
Dibs!
I burnt my mouth just looking at it. That’s a lot of food lava packed in that shell.
I couldn’t find a record for that but I did find the world’s largest chocolate nut bar was 5,943 lb. So maybe that’s our initial target.
Is that a giant version of these?
Who needs kitchens when…AI.
Are there any fellow vibe coders that have started to “buddy up” on projects with other vibe coders?
I’m wondering if there’s a community of people interested in tag teaming solving problems, a way to find them, examples of how their projects have succeeded faster/been better than solo.
Those plates are cool!
Shipped something this weekend. An AI chat assistant on my portfolio that actually sounds like me, not like every other ChatGPT wrapper.
38 files of my career, my writing, my opinions.
If you've got 2 minutes, go ask it something and tell me if it passes the vibe check.

Upgraded Kurt Warner.
Damn. Okay. I will buy a box then.
Is this the way? I need to reload on salt.
If you use Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, you've probably lost a good answer somewhere in the scroll.
I made a custom-built open source browser extension for Chrome and Edge that lets you pin AI responses and jump back to them later.

Want a deep dive on production-grade image handling? I'll be dropping a detailed breakdown on https://mikewatson.us/blog next week. Ping me if you're interested.
Pro tip: Store multiple image sizes/variants during upload. Reduces CDN calls, improves performance, gives you instant thumbnails/previews without reprocessing.
Technical pattern: Layer image sources from most specific → least specific. Personal upload → user avatar → generated avatar → generic silhouette. Zero downtime UX.
Rule #1: Never let missing images break your core user flow. Design multiple fallback strategies - default placeholders, generative AI fills, graceful degradation.
Want a quick audit of your image attachment resilience? DM me. Always happy to give founders a rapid product strategy review.
Real-world approach: Design your image pipeline like a reliability engineer. Every potential failure point needs a deliberate, user-friendly recovery path.
Pro tip: Use probabilistic loading with graceful degradation. If primary image fails, cascade through alternatives without disrupting core functionality.
