This is what I want my annual budget to look like.

Maybe progress bars will match the color of the categories.

HOURS LATER...

The meta-tags gem is great. Two methods you need to know: display_meta_tags set_meta_tags Lovely

Hotwire devs 👉 "Outlets" If you haven't already you've got to check out "outlets". I've been using hotwire for 2 years and just discovered this wonderful feature.

How do I configure claude to not spend minutes thinking? I've toyed around with /effort but it still takes so long.

Is this what people mean when they say "send it!!!"

Only a few UI interactions require no delay. UI's only feel sluggish when you make the user wait for something they're not expecting to wait for.

I don't mind this coding style. No classes, just structs and module functions. Behavior, then value objects returned. When I come back to this in 6 months it won't take long to re-learn it. And I can rest knowing this stuff is not used all over the place.

I ventured into OpenCode for the last month or two and now I'm back to claude. The other models couldn't keep up, and paying per token for claude is pricey. I like the TUI of claude more than opencode.

"One Line Fix" This would be another great newsletter name.

"Unprompted" This would be a great name for a newsletter on coding with AI.

Almost done with transaction renaming.

I want to like HERB but it seems like there are lot of bugs. Different bugs each day?

I just made a huge portion of Tend Cash free to use. People like free. tend.cash/tools

I like to have Claude write tests. I tell it to only do 1 test so we can work on a good structure. Then I have it do another. Then maybe one more, reviewing each diff and simplifying the tests. Then I give a list of all the other test cases and ask it to think of any I miss.

I wrote my own database backup script using Open3.pipeline from the ruby standard library. statuses = Open3.pipeline( dump, compress, encrypt, upload ) Each of those variables is an array of string arguments for the respective CLI tools. Simple.
