Im working on revamping my Twitter after a couple years break! So for now 👆The Details up there are up to date! I’m a 6’8” 325lbs Entrepreneur, Stroke Survivor living with MS, Huband and Father of 3! I’m a lot, but also a lot of fun and relentlessly helpful and fiercely loyal!

Sometimes projects that are inherited are so messy that I often think even Codex and Claude are like….

So true!

@jeffr0 I failed miserably yesterday. They were buy one get one free and I couldn’t say no. I’ll be running all weekend.🤣

I successfully prevented myself from buying these. But it was difficult.

@bgardner @bymilesai I have been really excited about it since getting to play with it as well. Gonna try to push it pretty hard on a new project this weekend!

I’ve posted several times about how blown away I am with the design capabilities of @bymilesai. Below are screens of a site I had it build for me. Go sign up and experience the magic: beta.bymiles.ai/?ref=xgs1483u

Clearly I'm tired but still having fun with Miles tonight! Not the most practical design. But a lot of fun. Tad ridiculous. Little bit weird, but kinda love it... 🌴🤷

I really should start to start making some videos of these...

Another Night of fun with bymiles...💖🌴🌇

@PineDigitalCo I certainly could at this point And it might actually be pretty damn good🤷‍♂️

@builtwtf Publish a book. 😅

Maybe it’s time to finally write and tell my side of the story🤷‍♂️📖

Having fun with bymile.ai this evening.... I know the colors say a certain something .....but if you've lived in Miami, been to Miami, it's a vibe.... And naturally I'm going to swap it out to hot pink and black soon enough!

@CasJam Same and even worse, I downloaded Xcode on one of my machines and now that seem to be a default but now I’m pretty exclusively in the terminal, thankfully

Claude .ai has been defaulting to creating .docx artifacts instead of markdown artifacts and it's really annoying to remind it I never want that.

@gregisenberg 100%, I think about this often although it really makes me respect the people I enjoy working with even more! I think there’s a world where both makes 100% sense.

some days it’s more fun working with AI agents than human beings

Command Code seems pretty slick from some initial testing and playing last night,need to play with it some. more, looks really promising, and the interface is so much nicer than others💯💖🔮

@chrislema Agreed, although I do feel like agenetic engineering resonates the best for me personally so far🤷‍♂️ but like you said, the phrasing doesn’t necessarily matter in the end it’s about solving the problem!

"Vibe coding" sounds like you just said, "give me a cool new CRM in light blue" "Spec developed" sounds like you wrote a large and detailed requirements doc, and gave it to a code generator. "Hand coded" sounds like it cost 10x and took years, like you thought you were hand-carving furniture. No matter the phrase you use, someone is going to judge you. So ignore the phrases and the people.

@bgardner @apeatling @mikemcalister @famousish Agreed great tools and design by all 3 and many others, definitely exciting to see again!🙌🙌

I’ve been pretty critical of the design coming out of the WordPress community over the years. But recent work from @apeatling, @mikemcalister, and @famousish gives me hope.

A lot of conversations with Wispr Flow that goes into a Obsidian Vault I do a morning brain dump a midday check-in lots of them and then an evening review seems to work for me is that perfect but always improving it obsidian is really good at reminding me and surfacing things with my set up for it

How do you plan and prioritize your day and week? What's your system? Not your favorite tool.

@chrispian lol, sometimes(most of the time I wanna keep pushing) but I am starting to wonder if I should maybe listen to agent suggestions sometimes🤷‍♂️🫠🤣

It's really annoying with the agents suggest this is a good stopping point. If I'm here, you're here. Let's go.

I knew I was sleeping on it but man cowork just to manage to ClickUp chaos is worth the money alone🤯🤣💪

Haven’t launched it yet still mucking around locally but loving working on projects for myself or with my kids, using bymiles.ai by @apeatling awesome tool! Highly recommend🙌🙌

@AlexStandiford Yeah, I do a bit of that as well similar but every week I feel like I’m kind of changing things and reconfiguring regardless, but it is getting tighter and improving every day which is the goal with that and pretty much anything I suppose!

@builtwtf I have a "sources" dir where external stuff goes, and then I write about those things in notes. That way I can reference the original but still make it sane. I'm also BIG on having AI interview me to probe and extract what needs to be in my notes.

Obsidian went from "It's an awesome app I love" to "the most important tool in my toolkit" in like 1 month.
