Do we have to wait for Airpods Pro 9 to finally get a reliable mechanism which ensures proper charging? 🙄

Even Copilot itself thinks it’s better to have it OFF 😂

not to brag (too much) about it, but @bookcorners.org uptime is definitely better than GitHub one 😅

It's year 2026 and everyone (me included, I released 3 or 4) is doing a CLI.

Reddit sub r/pCloud is full of users complaining they can access other people files or had their own deleted. What a mess. Do not trust this service. They either have an unacceptable bug or have been hacked quite badly. #pCloud #security

My dog Fulvio doesn’t bite. He JUDGES you 😌 #dogs #bassethound

A Basset Hound is lounging on a blue couch, partially covered by a red and gold plaid blanket. The dog is resting comfortably, with its body curled and a relaxed expression. A wire crate is visible in the background.

If you are an F1 fan you really must check UndercutF1 out github.com/JustAman62/u... Live information, replay past sessions (here I'm replaying yesterday qualifications), team radios 😍 #formula1

TIL: codex doesn't inherit your env variables set in your shell, so any tool invocation won't work if it relies on the presence of a set env variable 🙄

tip: prefer CLI tools when available, instead of MCP (not the case of Context7, I know….) look how much context they take

100

Andrea Grandi @andreagrandi.it · 30/08/2025

This is a brand new Claude Code session. 28% of the context is already taken by MCP tools (Sentry, CircleCI, Context7, Atlassian), without even asking any questions. Don't add MCP tools when a valid CLI alternative is available.

/context command in Claude Code showing context occupation with 28% taken just by MCP tools.

TIL: LLMs available through GitHub Copilot are not "just the same models", they are actually worse. They seems to serve nerfed versions of them (models.dev): - sonnet-4 without reasoning - gpt-4.1 with 1/10 of its context window I suspect they are also quantized to make them cheaper to serve 🙄

My first PR to #OpenCode has been merged 🎉 Now (from the next release) you can see what is the current git branch while you work with it github.com/sst/opencode... #opensource #contribution #golang

OpenCode finally minimises the pasted lines of text (just like Claude Code) 😍 This tool is getting better and better every day!

This is a month of Claude Code usage with Pro (20$/month) plan: I consumed 6x times how much I paid. Friends with either Pro or Max plans have similar usage rate. Either A) this is not sustainable for Antropic (enjoy while it lasts) or B) Price will raise soon C) Costs for Antropic must go down

Table with a month of costs for Claude Code if I had paid for API calls (127$)

I clicked the link and got this. No possibility to dismiss. I doubt this is legal at all for EU users 🙄

mine includes my basset hound 😅

Andrea Grandi @andreagrandi.it · 12/06/2025

I'm not sure ccusage tool (to check Claude Code spending) works as intended. Until yesterday I had ~58$ usage (in 3 days). Now I have just 28$. Something is definitely wrong.

Congratulations Twilio 🤬 making the existing client obsolete and preventing me from updating it! Time to migrate everything away from this shit (and avoid any of their products from now on!) #security #2FA

Andrea Grandi @andreagrandi.it · 28/01/2025

TIL: I was still using the legacy ~/.gitconfig git configuration file instead of ~/.config/git/config You can fix it with these two commands: #git #tips

# Create the new folder location
$ mkdir -p ~/.config/git

# Move the configuration file
$ mv ~/.gitconfig ~/.config/git/config

Why don't companies learn about consent? Giving no possibility to choose "No" is consent abuse. Period. Be better. Don't do this. #Slack

TIL: #Micro #blog platform now has a 1$/month plan which basically covers everything the old 5$ one had. I already host my blog on GitHub Pages and build it with #Hugo but at this price I may consider it for smaller posts. Check them at micro.blog #blogging #writing

Friendly reminder: before you buy anything on Amazon, especially during Prime Days, install and use Keepa (or any other similar extension). Most of the times the “discounted” price is not even lower the previous periodic discounts.

ChatGPT iOS app is not available in every country (like Italy, for example) yet…. but their website doesn’t know it! So if you visit it from Safari on iOS it will propose and let you install the mobile app 😏
