This sounds like easy advice, but I find it really hard to follow. It's just so easy to allow new facts to change your thinking. Sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad. designobserver.com/the-compound...
The compound interest of design: what not to build - DesignObserver
Veteran designer Dave Snyder says the secret to lasting products isn’t hype or clever features. It’s restraint, craft, and solving one core problem so well that the benefits compound over time.

I switched from the 180 Euro subscription of Claude Code to the one for 90 Euro. Claude Code is still great, but I'd like to force myself to try the other agents more this month.

💪 Finally, it works. This took longer than expected. The infrastructure for self updates with Go is awesome. It is still a hassle to implement, unfortunately. Now it works, two production systems up and running. Fingers crossed no agent breaks this code tomorrow...

I love how new terms are being coined at the moment. Simon Willison's post about getting from Vibe coding to Vibe engineering is a perfect example. Unfortunately, it's missing one key property of codebases: The differing viscosities of your files.

Switched to the glass releases of iOS and macOS this weekend. I dislike the different corner radiuses (radii?) per app on macOS, that just feels wrong. Else it's ok, but not a refresh that I needed. Disappointed and sorry for all the iOS devs that needed to adapt their codebases to this.

Interesting to see how the system prompt changed in Claude Code, but only for Sonnet 4.5. Apparently, they are able to fine-tune the models much more to their needs. Let's see if other vendors follow. Ultimately, this could mean that models and coding agent software become much more interchangeable
