This. I love testing wild VSTs but they shouldn't bring down the whole app.

This is cool, getting early agar.io vibes but way cuter.

1. Claude (max) + Opencode Zen. 2. Tried some other models via OpenRouter but the pricing just doesn't justify usage sometimes. 3. Claude + OpenCode harness. Using Paseo sometimes to coordinate parallel tasks although I quickly run out of memory or grind to a halt doing this. Mentally I can't coordinate more than 3 or so coding tasks at once, and physically my Macbook pro suffers when going more than this. Convenient. 4. Forget swarms, I can't even handle 4 parallel tasks. 5. Tried, and these seem deeply overcomplicated, very AI-built, and ultimately not useful.

Grim enough to make you cry before sleeping (possibly a lot if you have a kid), but surprisingly not as grim as Blood Meridian. That one you really need to brace yourself for.

I have some English translations of Janosch books for my 1 year old. She loves them. Would also recommend any English translations of Der kleine Maulwurf.

> To do this, my agent writes the test, then it deletes the code it covers, reruns the test, confirms it goes red, and finally puts the code back.

Why? Are you aware of red/green/refactor?

This is a really cool idea. Been thinking of a way to introduce my daughter to my old LPs without her wrecking the vinyl, and this might be a good compromise!

Last.fm is my favorite service I've ever used, period. Been using it since the early days, met real people through its comments section, and generally never had complaints about the quality of recommendations, etc.

Using this "out-of-the-box" with an OpenRouter subscription using DeepSeekv4, I just blew through 15 dollars in 45 minutes on a moderate sized code base, just making a plan and executing a refactoring of an upload pipeline to use a state machine. Not really seeing the cost savings for real-world work tbh.

Aeropress coffee maker. Look up the James Hoffmann recipe on YouTube and you can never drink another coffee style again

Having just received a toniebox as a gift for my daughter's 1st birthday, this got me so excited. Had no idea this was possible. Gonna get some of the NFC tags next week.

Not sure how much this adds to the conversation, but I have a 1990 VW Golf which is possibly the easiest piece of technology I've ever worked on. Has satisfying buttons that button. Has an actual windshield wiper handle. Diagnosing and replacing parts is incredibly easy due to the wealth of knowledge out there, and readily available parts that can be ordered. The most complicated thing is tracing electrical gremlins, which, given the 30+ years of collective knowledge out there on forums, is really not so bad anymore. I'm not always nostalgic for old stuff, just saying that if you have an engineering mindset, tinkering with an older car is very satisfying.
