My favorite boring but useful way I used AI this week: A service my business runs on went down Tuesday morning. Nothing I could do but wait for them to fix it. Usually, I'd open the status page. Refresh. Still "Investigating." Try to work. Wonder if it's fixed. Refresh again. This time I sent one text to my Hermes agent: "Can you follow this outage and give me updates on progress?" It checked the status page every 5 minutes and only messaged me when something actually changed. Setup was just the one text. I closed the tab and went back to writing. When it was fixed, I found out immediately. It's the little boring things like this that are the most helpful.

So happy this is finally going live 🥲 Behind-the-scenes this was a year in the making. Wrestled with every AI website builder you can think of, but it just wasn't working. Finally got the beginning of what I wanted with a Frankenstein build using: • Claude for design • Codex for functionality • ChatGPT for images

Opus 4.8 scarred me more than I thought. Now I’m reading Mythos hype tweets from all the same accounts and my only thought is: okay but is it actually good?

Claude vs Codex battle: Who's better at creating a font from your own handwriting? Here's the reference I provided to both (along with the same prompt). Intentionally made the writing a bit quick/messy to see how they'd do. And here's what they each came back with ⬇️

Here's a closer look at what Codex made. The first image was the initial attempt. The second image was after multiple rounds of revisions
