Hey Claude: "Please create the PowerPoint shared by the high powered management consultants hired by Hamlet after seeing his fathers ghost" That was the only prompt. Loved that Claude made this from the McKinsey Elsinore office (with the right colors!), also that SWOT analysis!

I don't use slack. I don't have a microsoft account. I only have a private gmail account. So I guess I won't be using your product then.

Useful tip if you are about to do some major layout changes to your UI when a lot of the functionality is working and you're using an AI coding tool: Get it to create ASCII art, and give it ASCII art for any changes you want to make. Then get it to code against that.

Well done GamesRadar+ You've got an ad on one of your Dying Light 2: The Beast artices that's so big I can't scroll past it read the bottom half of the article. I guess you'll need on my "don't bother even looking at" list of sites from now on.

I've tried a few of the Claude Code planning tools over the last few months, and recently tried github.com/GWUDCAP/cc-ses… It's pretty stunning. Code just "gets" my existing code and works well with it. Really nice approach.

Great idea to get some marketing done: Take the base idea from Git Pushups, but you have to do a marketing activity, share it on here, and get 3 people to reply with "approved". Then you can push your latest code drop.

You can't get AI to write a relatively simple piece of code and be 100% sure it's complete, but you want the AI to automate entire flows? OK.

I used Claude Desktop to investigate some app options, and it ended up writing a little bash script for me. Claude Code spotted an issue with the script. We're down the rabbit hole, folks.

Me: Ok, loop through the entries and give me a 1 sentence summary. Claude Code: Creates a python script to extract the 1st sentence from each item. Me: No, I want an AI summary CC: Creates a python script to call OpenAI or Claude API. Me: ... CC: Oh wait, I've just realised

Every MCP you are using in Claude Code adds to the tokens you send on send on every request. Every method the MCP has, that you're not using, is a massive waste of your allocation. If you're only using a few MCP functions, get CC to create a CLI tool that does the same thing

Wait a minute. I thought all this "MCP" stuff sounded familiar. Be afraid. Be very afraid. (One for us old folks, but timely given Tron Ares imminent release).

I think a special place in hell should be reserved for the person who thought that making devs type "~/.bashrc" was a good idea. I'm 55 years old, been using bash on and off for at least 15 years, and it still pains me to have to type it.

$100/mo for an AI assistant that: - is a junior dev available 24/7 including while I'm out walking the dog - can fix my gaming laptop performance in under 2 hours but I've spent at least 24hrs (over time) on the same issue - is a better copywriter than I am - is a better

Bought earbuds. Started listening to podcasts whilst walking the dog. First one - Greg Isenberg with an Ai lead project. It's a todo app. Sigh.
