Finops X should absolutely be the 10th installment of a beloved shark-themed action movie and not a lame conference in San Diego

It’s a real term. I know a lot of people in that space- many of them hate that that term won out, but have generally accepted that it has.

Taskwarrior seems like it has some nice support for stuff like this, but I need mobile support and the syncing story for task warrior looks pretty awful.

The main use case for me here is a task like “change my furnace filter,” but there are a lot of longer-term things like that that I’ll put off forever without a good system for tracking them.

I was worried I'd have to call the cops or something. Then I finally got close enough to hear the words. 5+ minutes of screaming heard down the street turned out to be: "I want *mommy* to do bedtime!" repeated over and over again.

Decided to whip this up and polish it a bit: kttt.io

I know there’s prior art at this point, but it was fun to build.

I think the answer, having played a bunch of games against humans now, is: No. No it’s not. XD

Some fun challenges included:
- Getting the AI to debug multi-user socket errors
- Getting the AI to debug minor UI jank (MCP + playwright was surprisingly unhelpful)
- Getting the AI to stop using emojis absolutely everywhere in the UI

This was an experiment for me. I forced myself to "vibe code" the whole thing - I neither wrote nor read a line of code for this. I'd never want to do that for non-toy code, of course, but I think I got a much better feel for working with the AIs.

Eg right now I’ve heard more Form/Structure/Meaning discussion around “AI for software engineering” than I’ve ever wanted. But I’m still searching for good sources of Cheap Turpentine discussion around it.

Ok, that’s not strictly true. Sometimes I find it hard to decide *which* buttons to press.
