actually, it is slightly easier -- the amount of motorcycles is significantly lower here in nyc, so a lot less bikes swerving between lanes at a second's notice

i get now how driving in nyc can be nerve wracking for someone coming from a different state, but for someone with 20+ years of experience driving in latin america i feel right at home

also i have much better ways to spend $200/month than giving it away to anthropic for a lobotomized claude experience

and the reason was i felt i was spending a lot of time crafting all these prompts and plans to make sure the ai doesn't make mistakes or take shortcuts...

honestly it is a lot faster doing it myself, and also i'm not training these models so they make money with my code anyway

i gotta confess that i stopped paying for ai subscriptions and decided to rawdog software engineering.

somehow it makes the job 100x more interesting, like disengaging the autopilot and flying manually, makes you more aware of what you're doing.

you are the only one that speaks into me and breaks the cycle

assembling furniture is that one task most people dread but us adhd folks can pour hours into it and feel like it’s been only 10 minutes

and i feel it's important to note that while cc is miles ahead, unless you spend a not trivial amount of time crafting your prompts and having a very detailed roadmap and reviewing everything cc is spitting out, you will end up with lots of corners cut and assumptions you never asked about

after some time working with both #ClaudeCode and #GeminiCLI, i can't help feeling cc is pair programming with a mid/senior level engineer while gemini feels like code reviewing the same pr several times for a newly hired jr

This of course only puts me in alert to always question what he's outputting and the architectural decisions he's making.

Screenshot of an interaction between the user and Claude Code about over-engineering an issue that can be solved much earlier and prevents having to add changes in database schema and clean-up concerns. The AI agent acknowledges their omission and agree on the simpler approach with the user.

I tried a different approach with #Claude today and it was interesting to see its reaction to being corrected.

He's on a rampage now, it's like Claude codes better when is triggered 🤣

Oh man, he's triggered now...

It is always funny when #Claude gets frustrated with code he wrote minutes ago 😂

And my goodbye tour of Atlanta has begun. Could not be any other way.

Stoked that a proper remaster for this iconic concert is available now at Spotify.

The minute #Vyvanse kicks in and suddenly cable management feels unavoidable.

That cathartic moment when the logic that is causing a bug finally clicks in your head and you can finally patch it ✨

You know you are working with a Gen-Z dev when you find references to Fortnite in the dummy test data 😂

The most difficult part about Mondays is getting back into a state of mental flow.

I gave up my videogame collection when I immigrated to the US a few years ago. It feels so nice to be able to start from scratch again.

No better game to get back into it than “Batman: Return to Arkham Asylum”.

Also, kudos to the shady dealership that sold me a car with a tiny battery instead of the manufacturer recommended size.

Today I learned that old batteries and cold weather don’t get along too well…

Alright, I'm back. What did I miss?

Spent the last hour debugging a MongoDB aggregation that didn’t return any results when deployed to our dev server… turns out, collection “balance” isn’t the same as collection “balances” 🤦🏻

They actually acknowledge the similarities with Firewatch on the season 1 recap. I knew I wasn’t the only one.

As a software engineer, one of the best feelings is getting to the last day of the sprint and see all your tickets done/released.

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew this was going to be a massive #Firewatch déja-vù and it did not disappoint.

Spring is here
