As my boys (7 and 4) were discussing poop for the 9000th time I figured it was time… I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a Kanye fan in general but there is one song of his that applies directly-

I'm going to have to make a "no Claude Friday" or something so I can still keep a mental picture of these applications and keep from going crazy

Anyone know how to disallow `supabase db deploy` from rogue agents or have some alcohol they can send me?

Man hand picking through a large document written by a human and hand writing notes sounds more and more cathartic lately.

My boys 6 and 3 have invented a creature called a “holesound” which has 2 arms and 4 legs, needles “like a hedgehog” that can poke you and it blows air out of its mouth to “make the instrument work but if it gets to your nose it catches on fire.” Sounds terrifying honestly

Weird thing I found out this AM- AI agents are not very good at TDD. They tend to flop around trying to fix errors. They are far better at writing tests that match what they've already created which doesn't give me a huge amount of confidence honestly

Hey Git worktree is actually pretty nice for running multiple agents at once- now I can pretend to successfully run 2 in parallel

I think I might be going insane
A picture of a chat window with chatgpt where it says, “So your assumption was mostly right, just slightly simplified” I responded, “Well your response was largely the same but over complicated so we’ll call it even” “Fair enough…” was the response

We asked my son to circle a couple things he might like for Christmas in the Amazon book we got. Looks like he got concerned we might go with Barbie’s this year
A page from the catalogue which has Barbie products is mostly crossed out

Well we left a candy bowl out and went to my parents, when we came back we realized nobody could see our bowl and most of the candy was still there. We moved it to the end of the driveway and in 15 minutes everything but 5 pieces of candy and a half eaten hot dog bun someone donated remained
