I hope your boss listens! :)

Giving yourself time to be idle and let a problem marinate is often where the breakthroughs and good ideas come from. If taste and human judgment are what separate useful AI output from slop, we need to give our brains time to cook instead of constantly bouncing between agents.

Woah! This is very timely. My 9-year-old has been playing around with Claude Code and creating games, mostly with Phaser. He's dabbling with some 3D games and I was just looking at Godot as an option yesterday.

He and I will give this a spin this weekend.

I was about to come recommend this book! I picked it up at a book sale without knowing the story. It is fantastic.

Does this work for zips? Some zips have a leading 0.

I've already started loading all of my incoming tax forms into a folder so that I can attempt the same, so it's helpful to see someone do it and the tips.

I understand the risks with it but I don't care. I cannot fucking wait for the SaaSpocalypse to hit these companies.

I've spent so much of my career as a data gopher, so I really appreciate this. It always works much, much better when people have direct access to data... but success always relied on getting business users to be a bit more technical.

I built a version of this in my org as a slack bot. It has access to BigQuery and I worked with it to document and define the key tables, so when a user asks a question it has a "library" to figure out how to answer it. Then it will respond directly in Slack (plus respond to f/up questions in the thread) and if it's a bigger/more detailed question it can create the report in Metabase and send a link.

One thing I don't have is the governance aspect, so I may give this a spin to see if this is a good middle layer.

I can't wait to play with this, thank you for releasing!

I've done lots and lots of financial modeling/budgeting/forecasting in my career. The biggest drag is having to pull in actuals for the prior month, mapping them into the model, etc.

Just about a month ago I used Claude to build a set of scripts that pulls financial data from QuickBooks, operational data from BigQuery and pushes that all into our model in Google Sheets. The biggest pain was definitely connecting to QB because I had to create a developer account to get a key, etc.

A week late, but just wanted to thank you for this detailed response!

I'm going to play with Svelte for some side projects. I've seen it mentioned a few times and I've been meaning to give it a test drive.

I'm a 15+ year user of 1password and have been telling myself to move off of it for like 5 years now. It ain't the price... $72 is really fine for good software that just works.

But as mentioned throughout the thread it's really just too much. My goodness they really could have a nice, profitable, business with simple software. I'd happily pay $10/month for the version of 1password from 15 years ago! It's just all too much.

This is great and I’d love to hear more about what worked / what didn’t / how you achieved these results.

A couple of months ago I worked with my 9 year old to have Claude build a little game with threejs. We’ve now got three levels with characters shooting silly string and banana guns. It was really fun to see him imagine something, have it show up on the screen, and iterate it.

Anyway, I tried building an LLM-backed workflow that could guide kids through the game creation process and kids can see their idea come to like (think: “sparkly purple unicorn shoots stars at a dragon”). I couldn’t _quite_ get it to work like I wanted so I shelved it pending future ideas/improved models.

I really appreciate you making this available to us, and providing other details!

No one has found it yet, but I built an undocumented endpoint around a cheat that I assume you placed in the game for One Laptop Per Child...

Also, will scrub the repo and make sure I'm careful about SC references.
