3 insane days of working hard on this freelance project; still have not written a line of code myself.
Just prompting and dictating to a bunch of clankers.

Cracked the foundation models guardrail; grateful to permissiveContentTransformations.
Been working for straight 13 hours all night and morning and afternoon. But that's a week's worth of testing!

I am glad that they postponed the run. It is so bad outside AQI > 500, I have not stepped out of my house for days (so privileged to have remote work with a laptop)

Back to Xcode! Only writing code that prints money for Japan trip. 🤖
I started another contract trial today.
Amusing how I was not reached out for work over the past months and when I decided to just watch tv shows and play games, I got 2 in the same week. 😆

Weekend will be spent preparing for a call on Monday.
It is a small contract that I want to take because I am just playing games and watching shows at home and it is not a good feeling
