“I suck”.
It’s not the easiest thing to say to yourself while staring in the mirror. Yet, that’s true. I just sometimes feel like I turned into someone who talks but never delivers. How do I “unsuck” myself was my second thought....

Wow 😀 Just got my first NON-FRIEND subscriber to Compiled AI!
Feel like such a great milestone. Someone who doesn't owe me any favours actually thinks my #AI newsletter is worth their time.
Sake bar, here I come! 🍶🎉

#AI is 90% artificial, 10% intelligence. We’re building very sophisticated autocomplete systems and calling them intelligent.
Don’t get me wrong—they’re useful! But let’s stop pretending they ‘understand’ anything.
The magic is in the engineering, not the intelligence. 🤖

I still think that running containerised apps in a simple way is an unsolved problem.
Am I wrong? What would you use to run a single container?

That moment when you realize you've been doing pwd → manually copying the path like a caveman 🦴
Just add this to your shell config:
alias pwc="pwd | pbcopy"
Now "pwc" instantly copies your working directory to clipboard. Such a simple thing but it genuinely sparks joy every time I use it.

🔥 The ability to keep chatting with Claude Code whilst it's executing tasks is a bigger deal than it sounds.
Every other LLM blocks input during execution. Claude Code just... doesn't. You remember something? Add it. Requirements change? Update them. No restart needed.

If you make a favicon for your new project, you deployed too late.
If you don't, it looks shit.
So, I just make favicon.svg as a circle using brand colour as background.
It takes me no time, and looks much better.
