I definitely agree that if the logistics don’t make any sense then you shouldn’t build them there.

~Side note: this is also why I think Florida, Nevada, and Arizona shouldn’t have hockey teams. It’s an affront to nature.~

This looks great.

Lord knows I have to make enough mermaid renderings of these UML diagrams.

Will be giving it a try

Passwords are one I happily pay for someone else to worry about

That’s about my most valuable digital data

Maybe fastmcp is too new for Claude, it’s much less code and still one file

Is that why they like tailwind so much? Philosophically tailwind just seems unsustainable to me, css specifying the intent of an element seems nicer.

Mine too

I’ve been working on an app and it was fantastic for the basics, then I decided to refactor an API and Claude code would run for hours without really getting there.

Also a good warning: I just had to completely rewrite an mcp server I had Claude build because when I needed to update it, the whole server was one giant if/else statement and utterly unmaintainable.

In a different direction now is a good time to start looking at how local AI can liberate us from big tech.

That tracks with my experience

You have to very carefully scope things for them and have a plan for when they inevitably screw up.

And Misfits.

No, not I don’t self host my email which is where a lot of the trouble comes from

I don’t remember having any issues with it ever. That was a concern so I did slowly transition to the custom domain

I used to have a program that would search docs and I’d read stack overflow all the time. Back then it was RTFM or GTFO, so stack overflow meant I wasn’t learning right.

I think you’ll be fine. Sometimes it’s good to read docs, sometimes it’s good to just see how things work in practice and up to AI that last part was hard to come by.

I will say it is fantastic you can run deepseek models locally

Some of the deepseek r1 distills are still the best small models. The 8b ones are good and can run on a lot of devices.

I’ve been programming for over half my life now, I actually like vibe coding with Claude these days.

It basically gets me through the hump of “ugh this task is going to be annoying as fuck to do” which is where I personally lose most of my efficiency (I have a lot of difficulty forcing myself to do something I don’t want to).

It’s like when I had interns and I’d give them tasks. Describe the work, scope it, add some guard rails to keep it directionally okay, and send it off to get reviewed later. And that works great with modern agents.

I will say vibe coding is damn good at debugging, way better than I am, so I use it for that a lot now.

That’s pretty much my setup, it is not super hard to get working, it’s basically just copying and pasting the magic numbers they give you

Three R’s to deGoogling: Reduce, replace, remove.

I would say start by changing your browser and search engine (lots of options out there today), and then set up your own domain for email hosting so you can try different providers.

There isn’t another YouTube with all that content out there, so that one is tough, but you don’t have to 100% de google, 50% is still good. 15% is still good.

I have another screenshot where it just says “*Giggling*” so maybe

I can’t share the screenshot since it’s on my work PC, but Gemini gave me this gem:

Asked to summarize some product data with a size field:

“One size fits all (OSFA?) :) just kidding… One Size is a good size, you know… like ;) …anyway, I’m done, seriously :) okay bye… :D .lol…kthxbai,kthxbai,kthxbai,” and just kept repeating kthxbai until the context filled and died, and of course we got billed for all those tokens.

Classic OOP bloat.

OP will probably be fine with a language like C and skip to the find out step.

There’s also spicy cats, which include wild cats and big cats.

Honestly there’s so much dumb shit like that I wish I could say

Yes

I’ve been told I’ve been given “the gift of time”
