Honestly most of the design by orderedlist holds up 14 years later. Insane.
I also had a great talk on how we built it (14 years old now).

RIP. Gauges was my 2011 post-hernia surgery project. It took off quick. We sold it to GitHub who sold it to some friends of mine who merged with a company who sold it to someone else. And now its shutting down. It was ahead of its time. Air Traffic was the coolest feature.
It took a few weeks.
Heads up for open source maintainers: Anthropic will give you 6 months of free Claude 20x. I just got approved for httparty and flipper. I would’ve kept paying it anyway, but it’s a nice touch.
cctop is great for claude notifications and session tracking. I use that and CodexBar to keep track of limits/usage.
if you're copying diffs into claude by hand like an animal or trying to explain changes by @ referencing files, stop. npm install -g diffity
github style diffs in your browser, add comments, copy the whole thing for claude...
No AI today. All pantry shelves and scribing.
I hopped on IndieRails with Jess and Jeremy again. We covered a lot of ground in about 90 minutes.

Episode 75 just struck up the band. 🎺 John Nunemaker (@johnnunemaker.com) returns to chat with us about how AI has transformed his development workflow and the unique opportunity that this moment in tech represents.

Success is not final. Failure is not fatal.
Needed this today from my mush bar. Also, these are delicious.
Stages of vibe coding:
1. wow this is amazing
2. shipping features and fixes like crazy
3. why is my CI bill higher than my AWS bill
4. maybe I should build a CI company
5. goto 1
5/6 here. :)
Claude is fun but have you tried coaching a kids sports (or otherwise) team? So rewarding.
All the work day stress just melted away playing knock out tonight at the team party.
And I even got a signed ball! Going in my home office for sure.
Dry-rb has some crazy syntax but I love how you can enforce types and provide failures for API endpoints. I use it heavy in flipper cloud's telemetry and starting to in other app API endpoints.
We just shipped a new Metrics API for Fireside. Pull your download stats programmatically — per episode, by month, with time-window breakdowns.
Build dashboards, sync to spreadsheets, whatever you need.
This is just the start. Docs: fireside.fm/docs/api
Installed telnet today. Been at least a decade or two. Working on a roku app and its what they use. :D
Just committed by hand without claude. Felt weird.
Are you saying you aren’t using AI?
Some. /plugin can install a couple. The rest are on github.
A friend did as well and has been happy. Very tempted but so hard not to want to max out. Also the nano texture would be awesome for me. Air doesn’t have that yet right?
Same. I have M1 Max with 64GB of ram. Granted I’m never using it all. CPU is usually the issue.
/frontend-design, /simplify, /review, and /commit-commands:commit-push-pr are currently my favorite claude skills. Would love to know of any sick ones I'm missing. Also enjoyed the research results of /last30days a few times yesterday.
I can't decide if I want a new m5 maxed out or an air + light second screen for on the go + a beefy server sitting somewhere on the internet.
Building your own bespoke git worktree tool is the new build a blog of the late 2000's.
Haha. For the pod or me?
Fireside now sends real-time feed notifications via Podping and WebSub. I think this was the last piece of our podcast standards implementation (podstandards.org). Apps in the Podcast Index ecosystem now get notified instantly. Nice little Thursday ship.
Of course I httparty'd the whole time. 🎉
I joined brendan and ryan on the rails business podcast again to talk about AI.

Having some fun with the verygoodsoftware dot company site today. Be sure to click the logo and see what else you can do. Haha.
