Hugops to all the AWS network engineers out there working overtime to get our CRUD apps back up

Pretty happy I was able to snag this domain for my vibe coded agent/tunnel project.

Now just need to finish it

Since Im blocked by Apple currently from working on my vibe coded iOS app.. I figured I would get to work on my vibe coded VibeTunnel replacement using Tauri ✨

I’m really enjoying this ‘beads’ tool to capture and manage tasks while vibe coding. It integrates really nicely with Claude code, does what it says it does and doesn’t get in your way

Much better than managing TODOs in a markdown file

Been playing email ping pong with Apple Support for the last week. So frustrating! Their Apple Dev Account system is the most antiquated insane thing I've seen.

Every time I try to use Neovim for React/Typescript/frontend work, it feels like forcing a square peg into a round hole

Vscode just hits different. There’s something about it that makes coding frontend way more enjoyable than with other tools

Any body else give their coding agents words of encouragement or just me?

"Nice!" "Looks great"! "Good job champ!"

After so many tries to give Codex a real shot, i just can't do it anymore. Claude code actually fits the way my brain works 🧠

Building and launching my first mobile app in 30 days (before I turn 40). Full-time job, two kids, no mobile dev experience. Documenting everything.

Quick catchup: Skipped yesterday because family stuff (the irony will make sense in a minute).

I'm having so much fun vibe coding this mobile app (my first ever) with Expo + React Native. Add in Playwright MCP + Claude Sonnet 4.5 + speech to text = the future is here. 🧵

Day 3/30: The Pain Points

I'm building a solution for **doomscrolling**. Yesterday I shared how I mined Reddit for insights.

Today: The actual pain points I found. 🧵

Fire sale 🔥

I will sell you my entire AWS account with $65k in credits for a mere half that in US dollars.

They expire 30 Nov though..

Day 2/30: How I Automated the Research

Okay, so yesterday I talked about mining Reddit for insights.

Today: The actual setups I threw together to speed this up.
Nothing fancy, but it works.

Does anyone have any good KVM recs?

Trying to share one ultrawide monitor + mechanical keyboard between a macbook pro and a linux desktop

~31 days until I turn 40.

I'm building and launching my first mobile app before the candles go on the cake.

Zero mobile experience. Full-time job. Two kids.

Here's the plan 🧵

You can now request GitHub copilot as a reviewer?!

We are so back!

My day. A story in commit messages

Claude: Here's your generated unit tests you lazy POS
Me: Thank you Claude! uWu
Claude: You will be spared during the robot uprising

Is there a service that constantly runs your tests for coverage and then opens pull requests (ie via Claude) to generate missing tests? Cause if not I feel like there should be.

Cursor does a great job of this when prompted, but it'd be amazing if it were automated
