Got some advice from a designer a while back that’s stuck with me. I asked how I improve my sense of whether things are well-designed or not and he said: design is about making purposeful decisions. If you can find a purpose for something being the way it is, it is likely well-designed.

Fine tuning a model on my mac, it has been running for over 24h and still not finished.
My sample data consist of 800+ records and less than 900.
So this looks good but not so great 😅

PHP's `match` is one of those rare cases where PHP has something that I wish TypeScript had

Turns out building this as a Claude Code Skill was much better than N8N. Lesson learned.

I’m dreaming of an app where I start a session, I open a web page or a paper or an ebook, and I talk as I read. Ask questions, make notes, all natural language. At the end of the session the transcript gets saved into a summary note of the session linked to the media I was reading.

Claude Code ignoring its skills all the time? I fixed it w/ a UserPromptSubmit hook:

No other mention of skills in #CLAUDE.md necessary.

So it’s family movie night and we’re near the end of Fantastic 4 and one of the characters appears to die and I’m all ready to be soothing and comforting like a good parent and that’s when the seven year old shouts “I GUESS NOW THEY’RE THE FANTASTIC THREE!”
