MBV

I have been in full monk-mode rebuilding the course with proper content, flow, audio and video quality Exciting to get this one out of the door Difference from 1 year making videos

The hardest thing about going back to mostly writing code by hand is getting used to things taking a _normal_ amount of time All of a sudden your are not just generating 10k lines of code in the blink of an eye This is a good thing

@dreamsofcode_io Changed my approach to LLMs and agents a lot the last few weeks Basically write all code that goes into master by hand and then lean on them for discussing/rubber ducking/bouncing ideas etc Feel like they have been kneecapping the models aggressively

Last night was probably one of the worst experiences I’ve had with LLMs / Agents generating code (GPT-5.5 btw) Every commit produced regressions, the agent was constantly taking shortcuts, and there was enough hallucinations to make one develop a new sense of reality. I came incredibly close to rage quitting using Agents all together. It’s times like those I wonder if we’re all being stupid letting these things loose just for some multiples of perceived productivity.

Really good article! Matches much of my own thinking

Back on it refactoring the operator API running on deploy crate servers! Mainly adding tests and ensuring this thing works as expected. Live on YouTube and Twitch!

do you also see this workflow resulting in a better final product/outcome faster or just overall better? that's my main issue with LLMs and coding right now having trying many different approaches. i always end up with the feeling that it would overall have been better to just write it by hand

finally found the right metaphor for this shift in how i use opencode. i used to treat it like 3D printing, where you build the thing layer by layer and commit to each piece as you go now it feels more like progressive rendering, you start with a blurry version of the whole thing, then keep making full passes over it, and each pass sharpens the entire shape doing this with gpt 5.5 and voice prompting is the first time things feel like they're clicking

coding without LLMs has been a great switch but, searching for information the old way have not. the ability to get a baseline idea of _anything_ in minutes with the option to question it is so valuable will likely get a openai sub soon again purely for search, bouncing ideas, quick POCs etc

The switch from sqlc to bun (not the JS runtime) in andurel seems to have been beneficial from an ergonomics standpoint Locality of behavior is a real thing. Being able to quickly add a new model without writing the sql+compiling+converting is a real benefit Now I mainly focus on good patterns for this setup Still not 100% sold but promising

Doing some work on Crate Operator, the API the runs on all Deploy Crate servers! Live on Twitch and YouTube

amazing to get all the benefits of ricing without having to spend the hours ricing really loving working with omarchy

Database, full-text search, running large-language models locally and switching andurel to using an ORM We touch upon a bunch of topics in this episode of gopodcast() and go on the usual random tangent Give it a listen!

Live now on twitch and YouTube doing a bit of everything with Deploy Crate

@typecraft_dev Looks great! How are you finding the keyboard?

I’m thoroughly impressed by this OLED display on the new dell XPS 14. Everything pops

Sorry for spam but this shit is running locally, so fkn cool

Been super busy re-writing the crate-operator api that gets installed on deploy crate servers It's getting to a much nicer place and I've a much deeper understanding of it Goes to show that using too much AI in the name of urgency likely ends up hurting you long-term Getting closer to opening up Deploy Crate for public sign-up

I _really_ want to buy the new Dell XPS 14" But I don't need the power so considering sticking with Slimbook and getting an Executive for 1k eur less with the previous generation of intel CPU But, also worried I will regret not getting the XPS 😅 Maybe the correct decision is to get both
