Why is there no healthcare.gov official X account? I'm trying to complain about a rounding error preventing payments They don't have error handling so you just get the raw .NET error message from the Stripe NuGet package NBD, not like there's a deadline to enroll...

I built a node process manager to find orphaned node processes: npx nodepm-ui But it was a nice interface so I added a flag so you can manage all of your system's processes npx nodepm-ui --all It also supports an optional OpenAI key to explain any running processes to you

🐘 Your database is critical and the ORM code that Claude wrote was the scariest part Not bad code, but when you don't provide it with the data structure including (including relationships), it does a very poor job planning it for you I haven't met a PM who can plan a database

🚀 I'll continue to build secure & well planned projects with outrageous velocity By the time everyone accepts that this is what the job is now, I'll already have months of experience doing it and I hope you are all doing the same thing

As far as I can tell, @OpenAI's ChatGPT 4.5's advanced voice mode is the same as 4.0 except it asks you "does that make sense?" after everything it says even after you explicitly ask it not to
