Just watched the first Harry Potter.
Dumbledore: Slytherin wins!
Slytherin: LET’S GOOO!!
Dumbledore: Actually, Gryffindor did some reckless stuff that worked out, so +200 points. Gryffindor wins lol.
Building them up just to knock them down is so dirty. It’s not fair and it lowkey bothers me.

Got banned on Threads and they said no appeals, but I hit them up from another account to explain I was wrongly flagged and they actually unbanned me. Meta’s alright. Shooting my shot even when it feels like a lost cause usually works for me. Being stubborn is a top-tier life skill.

It’s a bit of a bummer that you can't just Ctrl+V images when using ClaudeCode over SSH. I could probably find a way to hack it together if I messed around with it enough, but for now, laziness is winning. #buildinpublic

1st image: The half-assed modal Opus made from a lazy "Make a Coming Soon modal" prompt.
2nd image: The glow-up after asking to make it "more polished."
My fault for the lazy prompt, but the "why couldn't you just do this from the start?" vibes are real.

My baby started belly crawling and now they’re all over the place, I can’t take my eyes off them for a second. Turns out the phase where they just lay in bed was just the tutorial.

Stripped away all the noise, and this is all that’s left (LP product intro section).
In today’s world of info overload, I’ve realized that both users and I just find cluttered stuff a hassle and won’t read it at all. This level of simplicity is the best explanation.

My English account on Threads got banned for being flagged as a fake account. Running accounts in multiple languages shouldn't be a violation of the terms, but the system probably just auto-flagged it as fake. Such a sad way for it to end.

Apple and Google’s store link designs are so similar. I wonder if they coordinated, if the latecomer just copied the first one, or if it was just a coincidence. #buildinpublic

The audacity of them saying "Put the App Store badge first! Everything else comes after! No exceptions!" is hilarious. I want Google to say the same thing so they can have a total battle of the egos. #buildinpublic

Fiddling with my main PC from my MacBook Air using macOS's built-in screen sharing is actually pretty comfy. Since I'm mostly just doing vibe coding right now, I don't really care about the lag or low resolution.

Stuck in the living room on kid duty and can't get on my main PC, so I'm gonna use this time to check out some indie dev projects I've been curious about.

Just wrapped up a side quest for my indie dev project, so I'm jumping back into the release process. The product development itself is 90% done, but the estimated work for *everything else* seems like it's gonna be 10x that, and it's a huge struggle (especially the marketing stuff).

The first time I watched Death Note, I thought it got kinda 'meh' after the L arc. But rewatching it from the beginning recently, I actually really enjoyed the pacing in the latter half. Even though she's barely featured, I feel so incredibly bad for Light's mom, it almost makes me cry.

I just made the biggest blunder on my blog. My canonical tags on EVERY single article were all pointing to the homepage! What a catastrophically bad setting error. Thank goodness it's a new site, because if I'd realized this a year down the line, I'd never have recovered. #buildinpublic

Pushing for app release, but stuck on foundational work. It's a huge upfront effort that simplifies later stages. Feeling drained, no progress feels visible now. But if I can look back with pride, knowing it was the right call, it'll be a win.

Which AI Can Create the Coolest Web Page? GPT 5.2 vs Gemini 3.0 Pro vs Opus 4.5 vs bolt.new vs v0 vs Lovable
Using LP creation as the subject, I compare 6 tools: GPT 5.2, Gemini 3.0 Pro, Opus 4.5, v0, bolt.new, and Lovable. Testing with two prompt patterns—"Minimal" and "Detailed"—I determine the strongest frontend creation AI based on my own prejudice and bias.

My Google AdSense (blog) is finally making enough to buy an Umaibo! The ads are super subtle right now, so if I made them more annoying, I might earn more, but it's a trade-off with trust and branding. So, I probably should keep them low-key until my page views really blow up.
