I keep getting ads about @SeanAMcCann on @hbomax. But I live in Houston, Texas. I cant figure out why I'm getting Michigan politics ads.

@willguyatt I'm watching today's Tech Report on YouTube. I LOVE your glasses!

Here's why I love @SpaceCityWX: the humor! "And we’re basically in what seems like an interminable doctor’s waiting room hoping to hear ‘cold front’ called out by a nurse." Thanks, y'all, for all you do!

My house burned down a week ago and took the cars with it. I contacted @ViperSmartStart to cancel and see if I could get a pro-rated refund since I paid for three years last August. Even in this situation, they have refused. I will NEVER use them again.

Wow! I just learned about X's communities while at the same finding out they are shutting down in 15 days. I'm way behind. But I did get my ticket for the new home for #buildinpublic. Wanna come with me? buildinpublic.com/?ref=MathF…

I keep hesitating to edit code #ClaudeCode wrote—it feels rude. But it's MY code. Claude won't be offended. So now I tell him: "I made changes. Lint it, ask me about anything I touched, flag any rule violations." Everyone's happy. #BuildInPublic #VibeCoding

Oh sweet #ClaudeCode... When you tell me to click "Clean N non-breaking spaces" and I tell you there's nothing to click, that means there is no button for it, not that you need to check what you're counting. #AIisAnnoyingSometimes #BuildingInPublic #headslap

My blog migration tool that I'm building with #ClaudeCode is also going through old links that might not be good anymore, as well as finding sneaky little infiltration links (like links for the little blue pill). #AIAssistedDevelopment #BuildingInPublic

I'm building an app that helps me migrate the old posts from my compromised blog (that're now in a csv) into the new instance of the WordPress blog. Thanks for asking! #BuildingInPublic

AH! After phase 0 and phase 1 were finished, I asked Claude Code when I would see it in Streamlit. Not until phase 5! (not factorial) We moved the UI up to before phase two, and using it has already surfaced some problems. #BuildingInPublic #ClaudeCode

I'm getting Claude and Bernard (chatGPT) to map out the plan to create a migration app to get the old MathFour.com posts to the new WordPress instance. I'm not going to forget this time to create a UI.md markdown file! #BuildingInPublic

My old (but still relevant) math blog mathfour.com got hacked and I didn't catch it in time. I'm reposting all the old content + checking each one. I was doing this manually, but it's SO much work. I'm fixing to build a tool for it in Claude Code! #BuildingInPublic

Regardless of what is said anywhere, it always seems @Johnny_Joey hits the nail on the head.

@mathhombre Here's the interview post from 2011! (not factorial): mathfour.com/interview/mathe… Might be fun to do an update when I get everything back!

@mathhombre Hey you! I'm trying to get all the old mathfour.com posts back up (and making sure all the links are still working). I was so pleased to see that not only is your blog still up, but you are still active! Sweet!

@dansmath Hey you! I'm reconstructing mathfour.com and I just put up this one: mathfour.com/math-around-us/… (it gives credit to you for suggesting it!) xoxo

Holy cow - I finally have mathfour.com back up and now I'm re-posting all the old content. Darn hackers took me down and I didn't have a backup. My daddy taught me to have a backup and somehow I either misplaced my backup or never made one to keep. #LessonLearned

@AndrewYNg's joke in the Advanced Learning Algorithms class on @coursera reminds me of my favorite joke: What type of mathematician will always keep a secret? A Discrete Mathematician!

I'm enjoying the heck out of @AndrewYNg's Machine Learning Specialization on @coursera. I started the original one many many years ago and loved it. I'm super excited to be doing it again with all the new stuff - and working toward the finish!

There are companies in this world with meh customer service, there are companies with terrible customer service and then there are companies like @AlgenAir and @rattasupernote with AMAZING customer service. I wish those other two categories would learn from them!
