During a React Flow rebuild, edges went wild. Screenshots + AI (ChatGPT 5 Pro, Claude, Juni Ultimate) didn’t help. I wrote: "node top-left, another to the right; put a + at their midpoint." Instant fix. Lesson: images can mislead—precise text wins.

really miss GPT 4.5 for writing and o3 for coding.
It's weird how Sam Altmann made this big statements of how super smart GPT 5 was -when it's not. Super slow is all that it is.
Sonet 4.5 got quite nice though!
What are your experiences?

2-week verdict on Claude Max: gorgeous code 😍, zero context 🤪.
It invents APIs and gushes that you’re brilliant even when you’re wrong.
GPT-O3’s code may be less pretty, but it has much more context and just works—and it’s far less of a yes-bot.
Back to GPT 🤠

Whoever said setting up Google Ads was “easy” clearly never tried to actually do it.

I get many calls on my website to "Y29uZmlybS" which is base64 encoded for "confirm".
Does anyone else see such behavior? Why? Who? What to do against it? It screws my Plausible stats :(

AWS is a masterclass in overcomplication.
To download my $1.23 invoice, I go through MFA hell—broken login, email code, phone call, confirm a number—15 minutes wasted every time.
And they won’t even email me the invoice “for security reasons.” 🙃
