YouTube algo seems a bit off as of late. It seems like it is stuck in rabbit holes of recency, with a too large of an over index on a recently viewed video that is off topic to my normal breadth of topics, and too long of a cool down before those disappear.

Nothing like putting out a long thoughtful post about your agentic development process to share with the world and only 92 people see it. Yikes. 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️.

Here's what I can share about my specific usage of the various coding LLMs. The image is the output of the cloc command looking only as ts, tsx,md,python,json, and yaml files, and ignoring multiple directories (like node_modules/). The application I am building is pretty complex

Certainly a novel cold email outreach. "Hey, you follow @thesamparr. I don't do any work for him, and I have no connection to him, but you follow him. Hire me."

I follow @StuckAtProto on YouTube and he is doing building in public a version of the right way. I'm all for supporting it and pre-ordered one of his micro controller RC car kits as a way of showing support of other small creators and builders, but also because it just looks.

You know you're getting back in your groove when you close your computer because you can't solve a problem, and decide to pick it up in the morning, but you can't stop thinking about it, and you open the computer back up and fix it instead of watching another episode of Andor.

There’s a lot being said about me right now, and most of you don’t know the full story. If there’s one thing to know about me, it’s that I love to build. That’s it. I’ve been isolated, written off, and shut out by nearly everyone I’ve known and every company I’ve worked at.

Fast forward a few years and Soham Parekh is the new "Keyser Soze" in an Apple TV production.

Looks like it's going to be a Gemini Dobby morning as @anthropic keeps choking out. System stability for Sonnet 4 over the last 48 hours has been a rough go.

The MSFT layoffs are not what people think. Caveat: It has been 14 years since I last worked at Microsoft. I did not work under @satyanadella as CEO. From intern to senior director, I worked a variety of roles over two different tenures at Microsoft from 1994 to 2011. One.

Is there anything more on obnoxious or unfollow worthy than someone who regularly reposts their own posts? Bonus points if the cadence is obvious. Triple bonus points if they do it on the same post multiple times. 10x bonus points if the post is >2 years old. 50x bonus points if.

I have started generating markdown workplans in gemini to get a starting point, and then rationalizing the plan with claude sonnet. I have found so far that Gemini asks great questions, but has a tendency to needless overcomplicate things, or suggest technical paths that are.

Feature request for whomever is in charge @google on @Android:. Please add a eay for me to tell the system that what I'm playing locally, whether it's @audible or podcasts or whatever, is way more important as far as what widget gets prioritized on my lock screen than whatever.

This makes me so irrationally happy that I have progressed this far this fast and it works!. My source inputs are all the interviews I have done with customers for InterviewAt. The recordings and the notes. Everything else programmatically generated. Video titles. Scripts.

I'll say this much - for as much as I have complained about the two agents I am using to help me code this past couple of weeks, I am making huge and fast progress that was unthinkable before. The last 24 hours I have learned all about AWS Media Encoding service, built a job.

Whereas Dobby Gemini 2.5 is the raging simp, Claude Sonnet 4 is an overly sensitive delicate flower. The fact that I have to soften the language on my prompts from something like: "Are you sure you don't need to research this or spend more time thinking?" is bananas. Slight word.

Dobby Gemini 2.5 needs to stop glazing: "We will implement your superior logic.".

As annoying and stridently overconfident as Gemini 2.5 is, at least it responds. The number of times @AnthropicAI just quietly fails using the dev console makes it borderline unusable.
