Please, Slack, fix this, I can't rest.

AI means I can just do everything and don't have to prioritize anymore, right?

Claude Code Review... very good, and wow, $$$

Hm. So far, codex 5.3 seems worse than 5.2. Seems to lose context faster, and make worse decisions.

California voters love to vote yes for taxes. So the strategy against the wealth tax should be to start a new competing initiative, right? 1. Introduce a tax to treat loans as realizing gains. 2. If it gets more votes than the wealth tax, the wealth tax is void.

Making a Google Slides deck with AI: Nanobana - looks nice, but it's an image of a slide and only 1 slide at a time. ChatGPT - writes js code to generate a pptx file, styled with not-great visuals Claude Code - writes python code to generate a pptx file, no styling or visuals

Told CC to make visuals. These are not half bad.

NVDA at 20x revenue / 30x operating income, at rule of 125, seems cheap.

I'm looking for a way to run multiple codex agents in parallel, where each has its own cloud development environment (not just a worktree). There must be good solutions for this, right?

1 prompt and 10 minutes for Codex to add some tech debt. 5 prompts and 30 minutes to clean it up.

We're excited to release Session Replay in Rollbar! Rollbar Session Replay integrates seamlessly with our Error Monitoring, so you (and your AI) can easily understand, repro and fix frontend bugs. If you haven't used Session Replay in debugging before - you've been missing out. You have to try it. If you have, try Rollbar's because: - you already use Rollbar for error monitoring. It's directly integrated into the UI, SDK, API, MCP, and billing. - you want more control over which replays you record. Rollbar's is the only session replay that gives developers full control over what's recorded and how it's recorded. No more wasted replays on sessions that don't contain the events you care about. - you want to analyze your sessions with AI. Rollbar is the first we could find that provides the actual session recording (not just a list) via the MCP server. Try asking Codex CLI to analyze a replay associated with an error and determine if any user-facing impact occurred.

After months of beta, Session Replay is here. Error-linked replays, precise capture controls, and the context you need to fix fast. See what your users are seeing in less than 5 minutes: rollbar.com/session-replay

Easy to forget how important a fast feedback loop is. Just slowly whittled away at an issue with a 3-minute feedback loop. Got nowhere over several hours, thinking a few seconds at a time with long breaks in between. Finally did the work to cut feedback to subsecond. Fixed the issue a few minutes later.

RT @Jason: From Fox News: @ICEgov brutally threw a 79 year old American to the ground. He’s now suing for $50M. We’re spending 40-80k…
