Indeed I am having the same mental overload, but I am starting to shift my mindset.

I realised that everyone in my company has the same mental overload.

So instead of focusing on myself, I found it easier to focus on the people I work with. What are they doing? But also scheduling, in the next meeting what will I share? Then I work backwards from that.

Like some kind of spy movie where they catch a spy and give the spy the option to work for them.

I've noticed that people (including myself) are becoming too lazy with LLMs.

Trying to become even lazier by skipping code reviews and then vibe-coding formal software verification will get you into trouble.

In my experience with software verification, perfect is the enemy of good. My recommendation is to start with a software design you actually understand, and then try to understand how to map your requirements to something you can prove.

Switch to Jellyfin plus a VPN like Tailscale.

The trick is finding the best client for the device you want to watch on. There are quite some options.

This is the second time people are getting hacked via Plex vulnerabilities since I have been counting.

I do agree that Opus 5.5 (and Fable) beats me at coding, but I haven't found this to be the case yet in software design.

Update: Yes!!! VLANs are up and running.

Today when you compare:

1. Fable as software designer and me as reviewer

2. Me as software designer

3. Me as software designer and Fable as reviewer

Then in my opinion, best design comes from 3, then 2, then 1.

I got two GL.Inet devices:

- Flint 2: very happy with this. I can do any kind of OpenWRT setting I want

- Flint 3: super unhappy!! changing VLAN settings breaks the entire router.

Why? Flint 3 uses a chip with encrypted vendor blob (Qualcomm) and Gl.inet just hacked the drivers in a way is not compatible with OpenWRT.

But maybe I should let an agent reverse engineer the driver and add correct support myself?

Edit: i haven't checked the status in a while, but seems like last months support for this device changed a lot.

When people open up their brand-new Mac for the first time and look at available storage, they can be disappointed.

The benefit of Pi in my eyes is that the TypeScript interfaces make it easy to build your own sandbox.

This will make it easy to add Pi.dev to a web application and connect it via WebMCP or a backend MCP.

Meanwhile Fable 5 and Opus 5.5 are in a different league.
