I am finding myself going back to VS Code over Cursor. Feels sad for Cursor, but Claude Code completely took over for me and VS Code just feels more stable and uses fewer resources + is updated more frequently with UX improvements. Still keeping my Cursor subscription until the…
Had a fun chat with my friend Martijn today on how the software engineering profession is changing and where we might be heading. The full thing will be released soon.
🚨 Pre-release: I’ve been fascinated by how AI will transform the world as we know it. That’s why I’m launching Vision X Club — a series focused entirely on exploring the future of tech, software, and society. Today, we recorded our first episode with @frankdilo. We’re looking…
After a month with OmniFocus, I'm back to Things. Again. Turns out, no matter how many fancy features you add, the software that wins is the one that gets the basics right: speed, reliability, and thoughtful design. OmniFocus is genuinely impressive - the Perspective feature is…
Recently, I went down a rabbit hole trying to get AI (o3) to devise a plan to grow $1,000 as quickly as possible in the stock market. I emphasized that this was purely for simulation purposes, using Interactive Brokers Paper Trading, which allows trading with $1,000,000 in…
Should reconsider Code Review in the era of Claude Code? I currently review all team PRs line by line. With code generation becoming so easy, it's increasingly difficult to keep up. How do modern engineering teams deal with this?
I miss flow. Coding with agents is nice, but too many parallel sessions can tank your productivity and focus instead of increasing it.
Opus doing a very complex refactor while I am having lunch. 200/mo best spend on the Claude Max subscription.
I was quite skeptical of the Browser Company decision to shift their focus away from Arc, but I think it might be the right choice! Having tried Dia for a couple of days, I must say it feels snappier (benefits of a rewrite + reduction of feature surface + not making all the same…
👌 this close to replacing customerio with something like this 😂
"why didn't you just use {insert_email_marketing_tool} instead?" this is why. i can build shit my way and feel proud that i did something!
Idle time on tasks used to go to scrolling on X. Now it goes into checking on my Claude Code agents' work with @VibeTunnel. Turns out managing an army of AI agents is just as addictive as doom scrolling. Maybe more so because it feels "productive."
Model providers like Anthropic do have a moat over wrappers after all 👀
Why is no one talking about how @cursor_ai essentially rug pulled??? Making the pricing "unlimited" and then changing it to limited without any warning at all, i check dashboard and they bill me $71 for just 1 day of sonnet-4 usage???
20 minutes. Zero lines of code written by humans. One working drag and drop feature in Typefully 🤯 It started as a demo of Claude Code at our recent company offsite in Berlin, but at the end of the session, we had a working feature, that is now shipped in production. We…
Just wrapped our Berlin offsite and wow—definitely leveled up from previous ones! 🇩🇪 Past approach: "Let's do a hackathon on something completely new!" 🚀 New approach: "Let's use this rare face time to gain clarity on big product questions." 💡 It was so much nicer! We gained…
Need to catch a flight but can’t stop vibe coding @typefully features. Claude Code is seriously addictive.
