iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Yesterday 7 of 3,727 user-facing AI API calls failed (0.19%), all upstream model timeouts. Users saw "try again later." Our p99 hit 3.7s, then recovered. Is 0.19% acceptable, or would you add a fallback model?

000

That's clever, I feel like you'd be easy to update that as well.

100

Is that PR draft shared by other devs or you + other AI agents?

Is that something you've put together or something provided (ala Claude's /review skill)?

100

Do you run stuff like /simplify or TDD skills or anything against the code before the PR draft?

Are y'all running code review + testing agents on your code before sending it to PR or waiting until after?

That's a good one, let me check it out.

Does anyone have any good examples of AI-assisted (MCP) onboarding for SaaS? Both Stripe and Posthog have gone this route but I'm trying to collect more as I think it's fascinating.

Ever suffered through the pain of asking someone to make a DNS change over email? Suffer no more! I've just added the ability to share DNS change requests on the DNSisBeautiful site. Bundles the request + a test if they set it right into one shareable URL.

Tell me what's bad/wrong here? I'm prototyping a new feature for DNSisBeautiful that lets folks make request links via simple parameters that they can then send to someone to get them to make a DNS change. Would this make sense if you got landed on this page?

Used Opus 5.5 for the past 24 hours across ~5 projects and it sure does feel like Fable smarts but much faster.

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

This is part of what makes it interesting is that you get "smart merge" on inserts instead of just insert/upsert. The AI model will respond with "What do you want to do with these records".

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

If you want to try the new Opus 5.5 with Claude Code make sure that you've installed it via the native installer and not via homebrew (which lags releases).

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

So in Claude I'd literally just say "store these to the XYZ keywords in hutch" and then it would sort out all the field names, and structure. Then I could just keep pointing new tools against the same collection. And then I could share out the final set with the client, etc

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

It's a database that's directly accessible from AI agents and tools via MCP, but that requires zero up front work on data modeling and setup. I'd built it when doing keyword research, I'd get kw data from a bunch of places and manipulate it via Claude code, but didn't have a place to store it.

It's kind of crazy how much better Claude Code is than Codex at handling and working with multiple different iterations of MCP servers. It's not even the "future" it's literally just what I need to get through my working day.

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Anyone have a really good way of using worktrees in dev? I've got my own per-project setup but it feels like there's got to be a better way.

My new sign off on drip emails is "p.s. if you reply to this email a human will answer it." Is that actually helpful information to people signing up?

If you find yourself with extra AI token quota before a reset, start grinding out dependency+security updates and improving test coverage of your apps.

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

I do like some balance, so usually there's a few paragraphs in output I ignore unless the choices presented feel off.

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Genuinely shocking to me that some people aren't using a "fast-chat" skill with ClaudeCode or Codex. Turns narrations into super quick decision points.

Working on HutchDB has been very frustrating as when try it out and get it they go "oh this is very handy!" but actually describing it has been a challenge. Trying a new pitch. Better?

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

One of these hops is not like the other. One of these hops blew up my support inbox today.

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Right. Hutch is sort of a primitive to where you put all those things so that you can do things like have a *Claw or Hermes agent gather info -> put it in Hutch -> Human review -> kickoff process from GrokBot or Claude Code against it, etc.

Mike Buckbee @buckbee.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Most AI "Agent" demos are really slight and kind of underwhelming because they don't have access to persistent data storage and collaboration (to both human and other AI agents), which is why I'm building HutchDB.

Good tips. Implementing a mix of those.

Dealing with bots signing up for SendCheckIt only to immediately invoke the "forgot password" form to try and email bomb people. They're also abusing the gmail dot trick to push more through. Anyone else had to deal with this?

I've been lucky enough to be in the Changebot beta and they were nice enough to ship my most requested feature: destination selection during publishing. updates.changebot.ai/changebot/20...

Overall I think the codex sandboxes + permissions makes more sense over Claude's. Less friction, more freedom.

Codex coding users, what's the recommended reasoning level I should be on?

My experiments with procedural terrain generation are going really well. I'd previously produced a nice looking meadow, but now have a really slick grimdark cobblestone as well.

Woke up to a support request from a site that is suffering what appears to be a supply chain attack. In production, their web app is launching a second GTM script that then loads a fake captcha that's likely stealing user sessions. Check your dependencies!

We will see, for now it's mostly pipe dreams.

000

Bad news, the cobblestones now look more like cobblestones and less like mid-century modern tiling.

000

Started working on a new fun side project that involves lots of procedural image generation and hopefully ends up with launching my first Kickstarter.

Hit my Claude Code Max + Fable limits for the week so I'm trying Codex for the day. Any tips?
