I love it when projects host their own "awesome"-lists and merge in repos with 1 commit and no activity in two years -- pretty "awesome" 😂

"Create TypeScript interface for the shape of this JSON" is one of my favorite prompts.
It's *so* useful and saves so much time and head aches when dealing with random third-party APIs 🎉

Can't for the life of me understand how people get any value out of gpt5-codex. I'm really trying to give it a chance but it's just total garbage all around. It writes *really* shitty code AND is slow as hell 🤔

It's crazy how much automated phishing traffic there is nowadays. Seconds after pointing Tailscale funnel to my Django devserver the logs are full of malicious requests to env files, conf files, known Jira and php paths etc 🥴 (bc it has a known ssl cert)

Ah, yet again the joys of working w the JS hippies;
bump an official Vue ecosystem package from MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH to PATCH+1 and your build just breaks with gazillion of config-related TS issues 😅

Not sure what I think of the fact that I let Claude to clean up warnings from a pretty complex pytest suite that runs async Django WS tests w/ Sqlite. I *know* the tests are working and no warnings now .. but conftest.py has 100+ lines of horrible magic 🤔

Don't know why it took me this long to let Claude Code loose in a prod VPS box to debug devops issues but Holy Cow!
It took Opus 4 less than a minute to diagnose and fix a similar Traefik issue I wasted two full days a couple of months ago 🤯

It's interesting how Web Claude seems to be much more compliant and malleable to prompting than Claude Code.
No matter how much (or little) I tell CC to not add comments or tell me I'm absolutely right, it just absolutely right keeps writing those useless comments 😅

Asking Claude to lint its code:
"The linter found some SIM117 errors about nested with statements. These are just style issues, not errors. The refactoring is complete."
Thanks! 😂

I just love Claude "not quite yet AGI" Code commenting its work like:
// Setting the number of messages
const NUMBER_OF MESSAGES = 5
// Setting the number of messages
const NUMBER_OF MESSAGES = 5

Happy birthday to Django! 🎉
I've had the privilege to work with Django since late 2005 and I've met lots of awesome people through the community over the years. Here's to another awesome 20 years making Web development better! 🍻

TFW you end up writing a long and detailed prompt into Claude Code, and just before submitting lose it all by pressing up or down too many times 😩

Anthropic has restricted the usage for the lower max plan quite a bit. I used to never run in to the limits, now basically every 5h block I get "Claude usage limit reached" in just a couple of hours. Seem to get about ~30% less tokens per block :(

Anthropic would save SO MUCH compute if Claude would just follow the instructions in CLAUDE.md

Mad at myself for not finding this out earlier;
if you don't want to keep "automatically remove unused imports" on in your editor, you can still have Ruff do it with one command when for example instructing Claude ❤️

I asked Claude to write instructions for itself to not write dumb comments in the code it generates. It took the ballistic option:
**CRITICAL: NO DOCSTRINGS, NO COMMENTS IN ANY CODE. NONE. ZERO. This includes class docstrings, function docstrings, and inline comments.**

The article has several gigantic 10+ Mb pictures, just dumped on to S3 without any optimizing whatsoever.
Back in the day journalists actually cared about these things! (These things being the quality of your publication.)
