This was supposed to be a simple #ZimaOS install on a Beelink mini PC running a RAID 5 on 4x4TB external drives. Unfortunately that idea was doomed from the start, however I was able to salvage the project, and create automatic backups of my data.

#Claude continues to create placeholders and not actual code or functions. Trying it to create n8n automations using the n8n MCP server, and over and over again it won't use actual nodes, it keeps using placeholders and describing functions, not creating the actual functions.

I now realize not having a PRD was a critical mistake. However that still doesn't excuse Claude Code from repeatedly claiming it was completing tasks while not actually writing any code at all.

Still experimenting but got side tracked with other projects.

This #TikTok "deal" is now said to include the #Murdochs, Michael #Dell, Larry #Ellison, and guided by #Trump. A platform that became popular because of youthful creativity, innovation, diverse voices and ideas will now be controlled by the oldest, whitest men in the country club.

I was hoping this would be my victory lap about conquering vibe coding, putting out fires, and ending up with a working app.

Sadly that is not this post. Unfortunately things got more f*cked up than a soup sandwich. Here's what happened...

So yesterday I found out that #ClaudeCode is a masterful bullshit artist. Creating dummy data, faking completed tasks, not coding actual functionality all while lying right to your face about it.

Not angry. Just disappointed.

Did YOU ask for thinner phones?

If you have to build a protruding bump in the case to fit all the components that make the phone work, it's already too thin.

Yesterday's Supreme Court decision endangers our communities and subjects people to immigration stops simply because of the color of their skin, occupation, or the language they speak.

This fight isn't over. Our right to live free from racial profiling is fundamental.

Working on deploying my Bluesky Dashboard experiment to Github so that it can be installed in a Docker container and anyone can try it out using their own Bluesky creds and APIs including using local AI models.

Stay tuned...

The first pic is an example of a massive data center that is need so that you can use ChatGPT.
The second pic is 2 mini PCs that I use to run Qwen3, Deepseek, Dolphin, Phi 4, and pretty much any GGUF model that I choose.
One of these is sustainable.
The other is not.

#VibeCoding tutorials make it look easy because most times they work out the kinks off camera.
I experienced a few unexpected frustrations along the way, but luckily they were easy to recover from.

Watch the wrong YouTubers and they'll have you believing that you can #vibecode an app with nothing but feels because #AI is magic.

Not true. By day 3 I realized that I also needed to provide knowledge.

I spent about 7 days vibe coding my first app, a Bluesky Analytics Dashboard.

I wrote about my experience. It's a realistic look at what it was like for me, an Entrepreneur, IT professional and home labber to vibe code an app with no previous experience.

Content suggestions are based past performance, target audience, and measures your market and keyword trends across Reddit, LinkedIn and Google.

I added buttons to copy to use anywhere, post immediately, or open my self hosted Postiz app to schedule it.

The last page of my Social Media Dashboard Experiment was surprisingly easy. Instead of integrating Postiz into the app, I decided to just have the API send back the data to analyze and score my targeting. Made more sense and less moving parts.

Social Media Dashboard App Update.

Using APIs from Google Analytics, LinkedIn and Bluesky I was able to finish the blog insights page to analyze my content and opportunities.

Still a work in progress but almost done with the app then I'll write up what I've learned

Analytics Dashboard App Update.

Last night I had the bright idea that I need to also see how my website content performs and relates to my Bluesky account.

The goal is to have all the data so that the AI model can make better assessments.

Still working on it.

Finally got the Insights and Actions page together in my Bluesky Analytics Dashboard experiment.

- AI Performance Intelligence
- Top Performing Posts and Improvement Opportunities
- Trends
- Content ideas
- and more

Definitely the most challenging so far.
