GIFs!

I added GIF support today. And now that I have to go back to work tomorrow, I’ll be using this one multiple times a day again

LLMs - unexpected side effects

Simon Willison on helping people write code again

+1 to what Simon is saying. I’ve been able to do a lot more on side projects now especially as a busy parent. I will kick off a prompt on Claude code (on my phone sometimes with Claude code web) and then go back to playing with my daughter or cooking or dishes. I can prototype ideas I have and look at the results whenever I have time. It’s really made me fall in love with programming again! I just wish I could find a better workflow for it at work. I’m struggling to get out of the “small toy projects” phase and into using it on larger projects. Probably less of a me problem and more of a tech / organization problem.
