Impressed with @wesbos 3D model application - I just pointed my scan at his repo to get this. I also added NFC scanning so a scan in the physical World reacts in the model.

I hadn't realised how good @1Password is for handling secrets for Node apps - a good way to keep API keys out of env files.

I am enjoying getting to learn how to use @AmpCode and maybe I have been unlucky but they really need to nail uptime if this becomes my primary interface for work.

The easier it is to create line of business applications, the more important to expose the reuseable APIs and data. Dont silo stuff, automated publishing and discovery will reap benefits

Prompt of the day, read these photos of a recipe and based on my weight of meat give me timings too have everything ready by 1PM. Gives realistic timings to complete each step.

Enjoying using @basecamp CLI with Claude to convert Video of user feedback into concrete todos in target project. Need to see if there is a remote MCP so I can use Claude on the phone to quickly add todos as I wander- else will host a thin wrapper.

It's interesting to see how vibe coding plays into the shadow IT problem, it feels like the repeat of no code / low code but worse. I believe with proper foundations (+AI) internal dev team can beat all comers and still limit business risk.

Replying to @aarondfrancis
@aarondfrancis - thinking of the best way to deal with context / project summary - so when dealing with multiple long running projects having a way to instantly understand what the project is for and what the agent last worked on - maybe a right handside bar with

via a HTTP endpoint which conforms to some standard - basically to surround the Solo project with all of the supporting stuff that makes up a project, like docs, CI CD reports, logs. Can we have the option to make it more obvious when an agent has finished

Maybe the project header in the left side changes colour which is cleared when given focus.

Just trying out @aarondfrancis Solo application - looks good. I have some requests and suggestions but I want to really kick the tires first.

When does a Claude Skill become a standalone tool? A UI limitation? A user access limitation maybe

You know Labour are going to raise taxes for defence - this feels like a reasonable approach to reach 3% GDP VAT standard rate+1p (20→21%)~£8.8bn Income tax basic rate+1p (20→21%)~£6.9bn Benefits cut~£4.5bn Total~£20bn (≈0.7% of GDP) We have to spread it across everyone

Confusion reigns with @PayPalUK - someone has added my email with a dot in between first and last names to there account - as primary email - Google see it as the same email - Paypal do not. Now cannot get it removed - unsure if its a scam.

Learning a lot by building my own version of @inngest - sometimes the fastest way to learn what a product provides is to try and solve the problems and architecture yourself. Managing batch and scheduled processes across multiple services is a critical foundational tool.

Agentic coding is adding value in all directions - at the bottom with batch upgrading legacy code and the top with polish and stretch features along with the accelerated speed of development. I am loving it!

If your an employee then AI Agents will allow you to build more and faster but you won't get paid more.

Might be useful for you @johnlindquist - flash one of these - ULANZI TC001 Smart Pixel Clock with blueforcer.github.io/awtrix3 and then update claude settings - Stop hook with HTTP Post.

Building voice agents from scratch is a bit fiddly, I can see the value in @elevenlabs - just need to suss out costs before I can present POC

Ok, since I need real feedback to keep working on my CLI app, I’m giving away FREE lifetime licenses to anyone who reposts this tweet.
