Can you vibe code something while watching a 45 minute half of footy? Absolutely. Had an idea for a tool to help me write documents with AI, pulled out the laptop, fired up @bolt.new and have a fully working application. Nice.

Love me the smell of cherry foam in the morning... How much of a mood booster is a bit of sun! Brain still churning on AI... 🤣

I've been a huge fan of Curve (the card that virtualises and adds features to all your cards) for years, and it keeps getting better! You can now sign up for free and when you start using it, we both get £50. Can't argue with that this time of year! 👍 https://www.curve.com/join#TBXZH

Prevailing (hater) wisdom is that winter is a terrible time to own an EV, due to range loss. Au contraire, winter is the BEST time to own an EV. Don't underestimate how nice it is being able to remotely preheat and defrost the car, so good!
