I trusted an LLM, now I'm on day 4 of an afternoon project (nemo.foo)
I’m 4 days into an afternoon project. I was so sure I’d crush this one. I had a good plan and the stoke was high. Let me introduce Deskthang. It’s a thang for your desk. When I work, I want to put my phone in the other room, and only get the important notifications (thangs) in a different way. If my deployment pipeline fails, I want a globe on my desk to turn red and show me a gitlab logo.

How I Use Claude (borretti.me)
Claude is Anthropic’s AI, like ChatGPT but more capable. I was a casual user until the 23 October release (informally “Claude 3.6”), when it crossed a quality threshold I didn’t even know was there. It is really, really good. I have been using it a lot more since, and I got curious as to how much more.
