I really don't understand devs now doubting the productivity gains of AI coding agents. Now is a totally different story from just a year ago. AI's doing and building stuff for me that I could never have begun to justify the time if I did it myself. And it's doing it better than I would have done.

Ack, just opened Claude Desktop and started typing just as a popup opened about something (and my typing dismissed it) 😬 I'm guessing it was just about Opus 4.6. If anyone gets this popup, could you screenshot it for me? Thanks :)

A massive thanks to @irina.codes and @jtowermi.bsky.social for joining me on the podcast just now! Really enjoyed geeking out about the @dotnetfoundation.org and their recent experience joining the Foundation's board! #dotnet #UnhandledException

Is it just me, or does Claude Code take longer to check for updates (even if there are no changes) than it takes for it to build a feature! 🤔😂 (okay, exaggeration - but only just!)

Everyone is guessing when we'll achieve AGI. Have they played with Claude Code with Opus?! This thing is INSANE!!! 🔥
And before I get jumped on - I'm joking about AGI... but seriously though - CC with Opus is mind-blowingly good!🤯

I wish there was a way to have Claude Code still show the status emoji prefix in the Windows Terminal tab text, after you've explicitly renamed the tab. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I kept hearing about Wisprflow, so decided to give it a go. Wow, I'm now using it all the time! 😂
I was using winkey+h (built into Windows), but this is way better.
If you're interested in giving it a go - use this link, as we both then get a free month.. wisprflow.ai/r?DAN1741

Do you use automation tools like Make, Zapier, IFTTT, etc? If so, what automation scenarios have you set up?
For context - I have my own #dotnet app running with a bunch of integrations and scenarios - so a sort of DIY approach.
Just curious what scenarios others have set up?
