I'm using Varlock on everything now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5Ik...

This is so timely. Just yesterday I decided to stop my multitude of projects to focus on a single one. My brain hurts so much.

Freaking daylight savings sucks Now I’m jet lagged and I haven’t even gone anywhere

As much as models are great, and they trully are these days, it still takes skill to ship good quality code. Just tried asking GPT 5.4 to prototype a new UX feature in an app. It was very off from the target of what I tried to describe, not even using the current design system.

Peter McKinnon is a legend! Listening to him nerd out about photography is a great lesson in passion, authenticity and care for his craft. Loved this video youtu.be/JMu66A3OhsY?...

As I get older I'm coming to increasingly radical views like "you have to do things to get good at them" and "you have to think about problems to solve them"

Anthropic needs to stop vibe coding

This was a good read, great to see someone with inside information about it. I should share my reasons for why I chose Svelte, but right now they align with great vibes and DX.

I must be really bad at this OpenClaw thing. Everybody seems to be building companies overnight and I'm struggling to make an agent give me straight answers on how I can improve my product.

When I fix a prompt, it helps once. When I fix a boundary definition in my project docs, it helps on every future task. That's the real shift with AI coding — spend less time re-explaining context, more time refining the structure the agent works within

"Write better prompts" is a dead end if "better" has no definition. The real leverage isn't in the prompt — it's in giving the AI structured boundaries to compare its output against. Define what good looks like, and consistency follows.

Life with diabetes…

Nice going! better-auth is now once of @svelte.dev's choices when using the cli

Soon.

I’m 100% sold on the benefits of adding skills for AI agents, they add a small cost to the context without the overhead of starting subagents. eg: I added a skill to « svelte-developer » to consult the docs using the mcp and to not use on:click style event handlers. Done. That is solved

I spent almost the whole day starting threads in the new Codex app. I'm in the $20 plan, and I only reached the limit by the end of the day. I guess the 2x credits helped. I almost finish we building a URL shortner app. Will be done with it tomorrow.

Write first pass with @claudecode.bsky.social , reviews the code, "I was absolutely right", asks GPT to review it and find a swiss cheese of issues. I still think GPT codex 5.2 on high is the best at being detailed and less error prone.

Started working on a restaurant related side-project. My brain went straight to try to solve the data model for the domain (using @convex.dev). Of course, it is AI assisted, but I wonder what's best with AI these days. To try to build a robust first version of it, or iterate and "fix" along the way

I guess I’m staying indoors today.

I just found out about this: you can use Gemini 3 for free with OpenCode by sigining in with Google's Antigravity and then authenticating on OpenCode using Google's OAuth with this plugin github.com/NoeFabris/op...

The more I dive into the details of @svelte.dev and SvelteKit the more I enjoy using it. It has been my framework of choice for any personal projects for a while but I'm not even looking at anything else right now. I was trying to get the details of all the possible page options for my next YT video

I just signed up for animations.dev

What an amazing video about the power of writing. I have been journaling and analog tracking my tasks for over a month and I have never been in more control of what I do. youtu.be/w1Ydm-vpzjE?...

Also, I migh be late to party, but OpenCode seams genuinely like the best coding agent out there. It asks great follow up questions!

Building a new app to work new brain-muscles, this time an app to generate quizes for online courses. The new thing for me is using @convex.dev. So far the best part has been the great docs specifically the AI Docs feature. Nice onboarding!

The difference is huge, @svelte.dev kit's remote functions are such a delight. Saving keystrokes, better dev experience, safer patterns.

This put a smile on my face

I asked Siri and ChatGPT to transcribe my handwriting. 🍎Siri has lots to learn.

Event with good detailed prompts AI will still deviate from the plan, will still loose track of what was doing. It is a great tool to improve the speed of shipping, but at the moment, it is not a replacement for humans. Not if you are going beyond the basics.

This really resonated with me, specially about finding a niche. I like the approach of experimenting and reviewing to connect the dots. Not all businesses should be GO GO GO! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lfe...

Built a tiny app to keep a solo-gaming ritual. Lessons learned: 1. Start in the community. 2. Use the stack you ship. 3. Automate the ritual, not the culture. Outcome: 1.7k voters. Tiny tools, big impact. 🧰 thitemple.me/blog/what-bu...

The AI 🎢 Me: AI is so cool! I can do so much Also me: Why can't you make a test pass!!!!

Woke up at 5:30am yesterday to work on side project, 3yr old wakes up at 6:10. Woke up at 5am today instead of, 3yr old wakes up at 5:50am. 😝

Kiddo making her first game with ChatGPT

I am enjoying this new Liquid Glass, I can’t articulate why, but I think it looks cool and modern.

Expanding the menu: homemade ricotta with passion fruit jam pizza

There’s nothing like real time out of work to get the juices flowing again. Not thinking about work from time to time is the best thing to get back at work full speed.

Not getting a lot of work done these days and I don’t mind it at all.

Down into the rabbit hole. Kitty terminal, starship... setting up a bunch of stuff

I have lived in the VSCode bubble for a long time. Just learning about LazyVim today. I expected my productivity is going to plummet the next few days.

Working on a redesign of my site. Asking Claude to generate prompts for GPT to create logos.

Darn it, when I'm getting comfortable using Claude Code, there's something shinny to experiment with.

One more trip to the vet with Gigabyte

Been running Claude Pro and ChatGPT Plus side-by-side for a bit. Honestly? I never use anything GPT generates. Claude just consistently has better results - code, writing, whatever. Only real use for GPT: challenging Claude’s suggestions and generating images. Anyone else seeing this pattern? 🤔

Last night there was a lot of wind and rain in Ottawa. Today is a beautiful day for 🚲 and 🍦.
