Small personal app - statically linked binary (go, rust, bun, deno, pex, etc) if at all possible. Embed the database if need a database. Deploy to random vps which does backups.

I have told Claude to f off so many times — I fear it might have learned that from me.

Sorry!

I think Claude just told me to f off :-(

Claude: "The current implementation works well and is clear. While [other API] could theoretically handle this, it's designed for more complex scenarios.

Conclusion: I think the current implementation is the right approach."

Am with you. Have been Claude Coding epithet v2 and am very impressed so far. It designs poorly but codes quickly. I can do the design, it can crank code implementing it way faster than I could, and the code is not bad (not great either), but it doesn’t mind getting instructions on what to fix!

Claude: 'This is getting ridiculous! Let me just go back to using ssh-keygen for signing the certificate. This Rust builder pattern is fundamentally broken with the `?` operator'

From Claude: 'Yes, I'm stuck on a frustrating Rust compiler issue. The error message "cannot move out of a mutable reference" doesn't make sense because we're not using any mutable references - the builder pattern should work by taking ownership with each method call.'

Muwahahahahahahaa
