Setting up personal newsletters with Perplexity is pretty awesome. Not sure if news sites will love it though.

Sticker Mule really thinks I’d pay 5€ for just one sticker? Tempted, but not that reckless today 😂

Interesting find: Perplexity Desktop has MCP support 👀
Tested it with my ClickUp server - works for basic queries, but no complex workflows. Makes sense for a search tool though. What would really fit: syncing data sources so it searches my tasks alongside web results.

Tried Antigravity's planning mode:
First attempt (Gemini 3): unknown error
Second attempt (Claude 4.5): what planning mode? *applies changes instantly*
Not a great start.

My TYPO3 MCP server now has proper setup docs for n8n and manus. n8n is perfect for visual workflow automation, while manus can handle complex multi-step tasks much better than other clients - ideal for bulk content operations.

I completed a complex task with Opus and it performed well. However, almost half of my weekly quota of Opus has been used up. You really have to use that sparingly.

TIL that SQL BETWEEN is order-dependent. First value must be ≤ second.
I use it so rarely that I never noticed 🤷

Hetzner dropped prices again. Already the best value out there.
Am I crazy for wanting even smaller options? 1c/2GB at ~€1.69/month would be ideal for single-purpose services. Not everything needs 4GB.

Just hooked up Claude Code to our BitBucket CI/CD pipeline.
After each deploy, it analyzes commits and updates our ClickUp changelog automatically.
No more "we'll document this later" (narrator: they never did).
PMs can still edit manually, and Claude keeps the format consistent.

Sonnet 4.5 is genuinely impressive at UI testing. Just watched it dive into MySQL to verify the actual data before reporting back. Goes way beyond surface-level checks.

Rebranding Remote Desktop as Windows App and then leading with “security” is the clearest sign that marketing doesn't know what this product does.

Had to check how overpriced Anthropic’s Team Plan for Claude Code is.
Answer: ~5×.
If the regular seat had the usage of the Premium seat, I’d happily buy it for the whole team.
Instead, it just feels… absurd.

Nextcloud’s window radius nearly matches macOS Tahoe’s new style. Nearly. And that ‘nearly’ keeps bothering me.

Wait, so ChatGPT does not support MCP's (in a meaningful way).
But I can just implement my own GPT and give it API calls?
With OAuth and everything?
That's kind of frustrating.
So I need an Remote MCP to OpenApi converter.

Building a new MCP: Pick a contact → get all their emails in your prompt. That's it. No tools, no searching, everything explicit. Works with Gmail/Outlook/whatever through Apple Mail. The UX difference to tool-based MCPs is night and day.

First experience with Codex CLI:
✅ It is fast
✅ It uses tools like the browser surprisingly well.
⚠️ I miss Claudes plan mode.
❌ The 34€ Team is good for 30 minutes of usage.

My ClickUp MCP just got featured in the official Anthropic Claude Code docs! 🚀
Still can't believe seeing my work next to tools from Asana and Atlassian. Thanks to everyone who's been using it and providing feedback!
