iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

lol. I had corduroy JNCOs.

More than 1/4 million dollars when it was all said and done. Gotdamn! So happy to be even a tiny part of this community.

Yup. It might feel good to say, “what took you so long, dumbass?”, but that’s the opposite of what we need right now. We gotta welcome people in from the cold.

I was pretty high on Opus 5.5 initially, but after a weekend banging on it for coding, yeah. Better to talk to sure, but the same problems remain.

We uh, have a lot of automation at my job. ~18k jobs and ~2k schedules for them, in two gigantic text files. We constantly have to parse through these things. A week ago I asked the robot to make a web page that linked it all together. It took ~20 minutes to make and now we all just use it.

I signed up because I like shiny gadgets and am irresponsible with money, and got wait-listed. Doesn’t feel like they made very many of these things.

Maybe I'm an outlier as well, but I just got poached internally to move from a business analyst position to a software engineering role, because I'm good at using the robots (Also no degree)

Probably my favorite part of Thanksgiving - I had like 8 different versions in my camera roll to choose from.

A hand holding half of a thick Thanksgiving sandwich. It features turkey, gravy, stuffing, and a chunky cranberry chutney. It was not long for this world.

Yeah… A couple days ago I added GLM as an adversarial code reviewer against Claude, and it is _very_ good at finding vulns.

With an average saucey:nuggie ratio of .1375, we really are talking about egregious levels of sauce preciousness here. Bonkers that the 10 piece nuggie gets a 0.2 saucey:nuggie ratio, but the 40 piece falls to a baffling 0.1. A 0.2 ratio or below should really be considered borderline criminal.

If you’re on iOS, Mac or Windows, I’ve found Aqua Voice to be quite good, even at the free tier. Unfortunately not available for Android.

Patrick Ford @psford.com · 03/09/2026

I'm a 15+ year 1PW user, and I'm done. I'm on an annual sub that renewed 2 months ago (womp womp) and just ex/im'd everything to iCloud Passwords, which so far works great on Windows and Mac. Gonna give this a shot, and maybe test Bitwarden too. (And as for robots, I use Azure Key Vault)

020

Patrick Ford @psford.com · 03/09/2026

I _just_ did this, and while the import dialog box hung on Windows, it did seem to import everything. My 1PW acct (15+ years!) renewed in June, so I have some time, but so far Apple's solution seems to work just fine on Windows and Mac. (Passkeys maybe not so much, so be careful there)

010

Patrick Ford @psford.com · 03/09/2026

If you're on Windows, install iCloud and authenticate. On Mac you're good already. From 1PW, export should be an option from the file menu. You'll probably have to login again, but once you do, export as CSV, not 1PUX. Then you can open the iCloud Passwords, hit the '+', and import the CSV.

Eh, she could have just not gone on Fox News and run her fucking mouth.

Patrick Ford @psford.com · 03/09/2026

Honestly, I feel like they’ve been eating out on their prior reputation for a long time, and this is the final straw for many folks. I’ve stuck with 1PW for 15+yrs through bloat, VC-driven enterprise forays, and conversion to a $47/yr sub. I renewed my sub a month ago, I guess for the last time.

Yup. I was the nerdy guy on the business side for 14 yrs, the guy in the middle between the business and devs (writing so, so many requirements docs) for 7, and just started, today, a software engineering job I was poached for by another team, based on what I could do with The Robot.

Yeah, big banks are weird - lots of day-to-day functions that require “officer-level” approvals, hence lots of VPs.

This game fucks. And it's on sale for $8.49. It's like if Spelunky and a Survivors-like had a baby. And you can also play as a baby. Or as a dude that hangs dong.

Hard same. I’ve spent the last week or two at night trying to solve this for myself, and for now landed on agents passing json tickets around and surfacing them on a custom kanban board. Yes. I have inflicted jira on my agents.

It's crazy how vastly differently the same game can be named in two different countries. In Japan, this is called Larry Bird's Gentleman's Weekend Simulator.

Adventures in harness noodling with Claude... To be clear, I have no idea what difference it "learned the hard way" regarding "what I found" vs. "what it is" today. I'm all for personal growth, though.

Deep Thoughts from my harness/dashboard saying "The page asserts what it found as though it were what exists"

me: this is some existential shit
robot: The board's whole epistemology in one line — it spent months confusing "what I found"with "what is" and today it finally learned the difference the hard way. Waiting on your verdict; the watch is listening."
