I haven’t told Claude Code I’m gay, but I assume it must know based on all my “yesssss“ and “omg love it” responses.

Opus 5 has a huge ego and loves to spend cash. Literally have to beg it to stop doing things and ask me more questions. 4.6 was modest and we had a good partnership.

Recent vibe coding win. Wanted to start tracking macros again but myfitnesspal app is clunky and expensive. Made my own app that takes a simple description + size, runs it thru Gemini to estimate macros, logs and displays them.

HTML UI to describe food in text and amount and send it to a Google app.

Output tracking calories and macros for today against targets

New post! This year I’m going to post weekly to introduce & explore marketing models. www.ryantimpe.com/posts/mmm_001/ Will mostly use R but will also use these posts to “learn out loud” for python. And since I can’t take anything seriously, will be using my favorite 80s sitcom as the example.

Really not a fan of this minifigure trend to allow the skirted ones to sit. This implies minifigures have knees! They absolutely do not have knees.

LEGO minifigure of Gandalf. Torso and head are normal, but bottom half is constructed of LEGO bricks to all for the illusion of sitting in a chair.
