@aarondfrancis Haha still clinging on where I can.

@mike_c_dev Don't like clanking? My guy! The last true coder

The duality of being 4 weeks off 40 Love seeing the OGs Saetia again, playing songs in a little DIY venue that young me never thought I’d see live. It’s not a phase, mom 🤝 Love seeing how the herbs are getting on each morning

@rowansail 100%. Seems so obvious now!

@mike_c_dev Damn! One of the best decisions you could have made

Made a good decision about 10 years ago

@jbrooksuk Haha still making good decisions, I think, but a lot stem from this one. Pretty crazy!

@mike_c_dev Past Michael was a smart Michael

@mike_c_dev very smart

Who remembers pragmatism?

@mike_c_dev Absolutely mental 😂 Don't even get that in the Championship

the fuckin blues man, wouldn't change them for the world 🤣

Brand New are heaven sent...

@simonhamp You're thinking about this exactly the right way

I love using Claude Code But I also love knowing what I'm doing
