I have a full-time job and work a lot on personal projects. The question I keep coming back to: how to combine the two, not burn out, and make real progress on each. I've built a flow that works — and I keep refining it. Dumping my thoughts here as I figure it out.

There was a moment when I was playing a PS5 game with some friends, and I noticed that certain people weren't really competing with everyone else—they were competing with me specifically. They seemed especially determined to beat me, rather than focusing on winning against the others.

After my first "WTF?" reaction, I realized that I had just won a couple of games in a row, and they were doing it because I was playing quite well, yeah.

That’s funny to me now because I see so many products focusing on trying to overcome #Anthropic and #Claude.

“If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing you should do is stop digging.” One of the developers I respect most often quotes this, and I’m always surprised by how many people do the exact opposite.

The Slack integration with Claude Code is so cool. I just send it a link to a message, and Claude jumps straight into analyzing and fixing the issues.

Looking at the feedback for #ios27, it might be the most well-received iOS version in a long time. There’s just so much positive feedback.

I know @obra from the Keyboardio Model 100 that I bought. What a surprise it was to come across him again as the creator of one of the most popular AI libraries: github.com/obra/superpowers

The daily notes then roll up into weekly ones — fewer details, more of the big picture. For a while this was a struggle: I'd get lazy about writing them. Now I just generate the weekly note with AI, feeding it the daily ones.

Oh wow, you can use Claude Code to work directly on a remote server, where things are always a bit different from what you’re used to when you SSH into it.

I've kept a daily work log since 2022-11-10. Literally every working day has a list of what I did that day. It's the best cure I've found for the feeling that I'm not being productive.

The apps change, but this approach doesn't. This list of notes was transferred from Notion to Logseq and is now on Obsidian.

Oh, really? The fun is over.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

It's definitely cool, but the escapement wheel looks wrong.

So I gave Fable 5 the watchmaker benchmark: a full Swiss lever movement in Three.js. Real gear ratios (18,000 bph), working escapement, breathing hairspring — and the hands tell actual time. It verified its own work with vision, in a loop, until done. ⌚

One of the main issues for me with agentic development is not getting distracted while the AI works for 15 minutes or so. I still haven’t figured out how to handle that.

Website Downloader (chromewebstore.google.com/de…) is growing again after users dropped off following its sudden removal. The one thing I’m grateful for is that I didn’t lose a product with 100k users.

If anyone asked me what the most hidden feature of @intellijidea is, I'd definitely say double-Alt.
Hit double-Alt, then press Up/Down to create multiple carets in the same column.

I've never used compaction anymore since Claude Code introduced 1M context. This is enough for my largest tasks.
