When wanting to work on mutiple features in 1 repository, git worktrees is the solution. However the raw commands are hard to work with. Tried github.com/max-sixty/wo... today, worked very well!

I'm giving up on manual coding. I'm now using Codex to rewrite several of the libs I had written before. I'm barely reading any of the code being written. Will give a quick look at the whole thing before merging to main, but I'm mostly reading the written specs, not the code.

- bookkeeping by categorizing ledger items
- preparing P&L
- preparing balance sheet
it worked. I still have to be involved and knowledgeable, but it did save me time. my books are very simple.

Took serveral days to write this, but it is something I really wanted to do. I've been buidling this Visual Novel engine for almost 2 years. It was really refreshing to write down all the experiences, learnings and design decision. It is very useful for me and other who will work on the project.

Have been writing some Japanese emails in the past few days. I have to say that with AI it has become so much easier to manage the formalities like keigo. I had always struggled with it in the past and now I can just write what I want to say and AI convert it to correct format.

I jumped on the OpenCraw hype. Tried to install it 2 days ago with Discord but failed, didn't properly read the docs. Tried again today, and got it to work after some debugging. Playing it for a bit now some thoughts:

amazing Claude can look at the screenshots from visual test and compare and figure out which ones are correct. it is the same as how I would do it: look at the screenshots, and look at the test cases to see whether it is the screenshot (implmentation) or the testcase is wrong.

Steam is like:
- very complex checklist to prepare and make application ready to publish
- have to pay $100 upfront
- takes 30% fees
- 30% US withlding tax for US sourced income
Yet, people just flock to publish on Steam
