@timhnln Why not just create GitHub issues using the CLI?

This is so much better than Markdown plans

@dwlz expensive?

GLM-5.2 is really, really good.

@timhnln oh dear, finally

Opus 4.8 is actually moving files around during a refactor rather than outputting them token by token

@adamc0dez Opencode. It's really awesome and Deepseek have a 75% discount until end of may. So you just buy $10 worth of credits with Deepseek and that will last you until your quota resets.

@learnedlate How do I do it? e.g. claude code is the vehicle for using claude models here, what is the vehicle for using deepseek

so what do i do now?

@JedPattersonn MS Clarity is free...

It’s 2018 and your coworker just sent you a 400 line pull request. You get a cup of coffee and sit down to review it. It’s beautiful. Elegant micro-refactors. Crispy method names. You catch a few things, but that’s ok. It’s part of the dance. They didn’t consider extensibility on part of their API. Here’s a comment buddy. They respond in an hour saying they think we should do one piece differently than your comment. Hey let’s jump into a room and figure it out. We can’t just agree to disagree, this code is too important. The PR merges and goes to prod. You feel a shared sense of ownership and accomplishment. That night you go to sleep and dream of that code. You can still see the shapes of it on the backs of your eyelids, your IDE syntax highlighting sparking neurons in your reptile brain. You go to work the next day ready to go. You understand the system. N is your foundation. Time to build n+1.

AI agent + simple backend for my taxes feels way better than any UI. Expense Sorted as backend, but data entry and validation go through the agent. for anything complex or conversational the real UI is the agent. Apps just become thin, purpose-built views on top.

@dwlz Nice! Tldr: answer "what problem do I wish someone else would solve for me?" instead of "what problem should I solve?" and turn on your 21 year old naive self.

@learnedlate This is my favorite essay on this topic: paulgraham.com/schlep.html So I’d say it’s less about “finding” them about more about taking the blinders off. Which things are unreasonably annoying that are right in front of you?

If you want to be productive in a world of increasing automation, your focus must be on doing hard things. Gravitating towards tasks which people are easily automating is a trap. Do things no one else wants to do.

slow grind.

We had a good run Copilot, but I think it's over. Kimi has much better value for money.

@chalaska Aussie in NZ ok?

Genuinely curious, how many Aussie designers, founders and builders are here on X? Wanting to connect with you all!

@adamc0dez what's working better Google or Facebook?

Is this... marketing? Spend: $245 Revenue: $588 (+ a trial started for $828 plan) Google Ads are working

@lockinmarv any tips for getting AI to be better with it?

Rust is the language that looks scary and weird at first, but once you get the grip of it, it will improve your life. Even in your dreams.

@superwhisper cooked their prompt so that now instead of transcribing it tried to comment on what I said... back to typing my productivity is gone.

@dwlz visibility might be an issue too. imessage might have group chats, but threads, channels etc. help to order stuff allowing people to consume what they need to. As it grows you want to achieve good p2p communication and to you being the hub or bottleneck.

Is needing to use Slack basically an inevitability when growing a company? It might sound absurd but I just want to use iMessage with everyone I work with. I don't want yet another app to check. Is this unreasonable? Can this actually work? Seriously asking.

I feel like a boomer using Copilot and now I started liking MS Clarity!

@dwlz What’s the best way to reach users? Email? Feedback bot?

Turns out, there is a very simple process to reduce churn: 1. Talk to users 2. Build what they need 3. Tell them what you built 4. Go back to 1

@KobeissiLetter stablecoins? USD stablecoins?

BREAKING: The IRGC is now charging tolls, with rates starting at $1 per barrel of oil, on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, paid in Chinese Yuan or stablecoins, per Bloomberg. The process includes: 1. To pass, ship operators must first contact an intermediary company linked to the IRGC 2. They then provide their vessel’s ownership, flag, the cargo manifest, destination, crew list, and transponder information 3. The intermediary then passes the file onto the IRGC Navy’s Hormozgan Provincial Command for background checks to ensure no link to the US or Israel 4. Iran has a ranking system of 1 to 5 for nations, with ships from countries that are seen as friendly more likely to get better terms Once the toll is paid, the IRGC issues a permit code and route instructions for the ship to pass.
