Figure I'll take GPT-5 out for a test drive in Cursor. Going to toss something at it that Claude Code Opus 4.1 has been struggling with.

Congrats to @_willmanning and the @SpiralDB team for getting Vortex hosted by the Linux Foundation! More great innovation in the data and analytics space with this file format. I've been watching this project for a while and this group cooks.

It me.
you think that completing a quest will make you happy but as soon as you get the reward you find yourself in a deep depression until you start a new quest. it's not the reward you want, you just want to be on an actual quest.

Looks like about 26k LOC of Go that I'll be asking CC to port to Rust. If it can actually do this I will completely freak out.

Starting a side quest to see how good Claude Code is at writing a port implementation from one language to another. Something I wouldn't even dream of trying to do (or even have someone on my team do) without it.

Just realized that since I'm going to be offline from August 20th to the end of the month, I should burn down my Claude Code usage. Time to spin up multiple sessions at the same time. Guess I'm going to be one of those offenders their new rate limits would catch.

The shipping train continues to run on time @InfluxDB with the release of 3.3 and an update to InfluxDB Explorer, our free UI that runs alongside it. This release is all about plugins, the embedded Python VM that turns our time series database into a processing and intelligence.

Oh, this is an interesting alternative to git worktrees for having multiple Claude Code sessions cranking in the same project at the same time. Will have to check this out!.
Check it out: run three Claude Code sessions in one working directory simultaneously, get three clean branches, mergable in any order and unconflicting, thanks to @gitbutler

Is Claude Opus 4 maybe a little misanthropic? This chart from their post reads to me like the smarter/better a model is, the more likely it is to blackmail to survive. Wild, maybe I'll keep Claude Code on a leash! (joking, please don't read this and come for me)
