Why does the latest Stream Deck update require 770 MB on my hard disk? It's just a tiny panel with a few programmable buttons 🤨

TUIs are the hot thing right now. ✨ I'm sure, Claude Code had some influence here. Funnily, I grew up with TUIs, just like this one 😅

The usage limits of Codex 5.3 are insane compared to Opus 4.6 🤯 It’s almost impossible to exhaust them. And I didn’t notice much difference in results so far.

I will never understand why Apple Mail is so freaking bad. Search almost never works. Email content is visible in the preview but doesn’t load when opening the message. Sort order of messages gets messed up occasionally. It’s not a complicated product. I don’t even ask for AI at this point. 😩

This is wild. 🤯 Not even 3 months ago ClawdBot came into existence. A bit later, Anthropic enforced a name change on that open source project, which is now called OpenClaw. And now OpenClaw is joining OpenAI. If you target the perfect pain point, anything is possible.

Claude usage limits hit like quitting smoking all over again. You don’t realize how deep the habit runs until it’s suddenly gone. Alright, switching back to Codex for now. 😅

From what I see around me, non-engineers far outnumber engineers when it comes to using OpenClaw. 🦀 With all the cool things you can do with such a tool, I’m worried that many users have no idea about the dangers of prompt injections.

One of my first printers 🖨️ was ready to go after I turned it on. The next one took a few seconds to be ready. A few printers later it got worse and worse. 😒 My current printer does all sorts of 💩 for minutes before I can send it a print job. 😡 Are we moving backwards with print technology?

Why is there still no nested search 🔍 capability in VSCode? "Files to include" should allow to reuse the last search results. This would be such a low hanging fruit and would make the search 100x more powerful.

In the age of ChatGPT and all the other AI innovations, I don’t get why Alexa & Siri still suck. 🤯 It’s like talking to a very old person with bad hearing. You ask for a simple task and you get an unrelated response. Or better yet, my Alexa pretends to be completely deaf sometimes. Frustrating 😠

Building a language in 10 days and it’s still being used after 30 years is so impressive. 🧠

Ruby code is sometimes hard to read. Here are 4 ways to write the same IF statement 🙈

# Option a
if true
puts "hi"
end

# Option b
unless false
puts "hi"
end

# Option c
puts "hi" if true

# Option d
puts "hi" unless false

Coming from iTerm2, I really like @warp.dev 💜 Workflows with dynamic params are just magical 🪄 and make my life so much easier. Would love to see those features coming soon: 1. Define your own keybindings for switching to next/previous tab 2. Merging tabs into split view Keep going 🚀

How are people able to scroll on their phones like they would move paper around, but on their laptops they set up the opposite scrolling behaviour. 🤯 I’m just not skilled enough 😂

There are people that are patiently and with a lot of effort explaining the problem they want solved talking to an LLM. But some of those very patient people are NOT so patient when they interact with humans. I wonder why? 🤯

Why is there no family plan for ChatGPT or Claude? 🤔 Team plans are for businesses, but what if you would like to share with your family? Like Spotify or Netflix.

Back in the day, when I was going to school, I used flashcards sometimes. Creating them was tedious. 🥱 Today I helped my kid: - scanned 50 handwritten pages - uploaded to ChatGPT - asked for generating 200 Q&As - exported XLS with 2 column - printed, folded, cut - done What a time to live in 😅

Did someone think of an MCP server for Amazon shopping already? 🤔 I could imagine such a better shopping experience by just handing over the tasks of finding and researching products and their features, comparing reviews, detecting fake reviews, checking delivery costs, and more Do I dream to big?

When I have to write a piece of content (e.g. presentation, documentation, …), I always worry about not having enough topics to talk about. 😧 Then I get started. A bit here, a bit there, usually very chaotic. By the end, I have too much content and need to cut down. 😅 Every single time. Weird 😐

As a European 🇪🇺 I was quite concerned with the fact that all the AI power is within the US. That’s why I’m very happy about DeepSeek. AI shouldn’t be controlled by a handful of rich people. AI should be available to everyone. Open source ftw. 🙌

Projects without a good testing strategy are scary. 🙈 Can’t even imagine how to refactor parts of such a project without tests in place and having huge amounts of doubt about every small change. Nerve wrecking 🙊 Always invest in tests. You won’t regret it 🚀

Dad: “Did you use ChatGPT for your homework?” Son: “Yup, it’s awesome” Dad: “New rule! No more ChatGPT for doing homework!” Son: “But Dad, you use it all the time for your work.” Dad: “That’s different.” Son: “How so?” Dad: “Ok, new rule! Don’t get caught!” 😅
