What I can build with Opus 4.5 by myself is insane.
And you're telling me better models are coming? And in the next couple months???
I'm so ready for this.

I absolutely love teaching powerful AI workflows.
It would be *amazing* if a job where I could teach the world what's next in AI experiences while working alongside brilliant people just fell into my lap on Monday...
Last Claude Code Power User workshop of the year π¨tomorrowπ¨.
Come learn how to let Claude Code cook over the holidays while you're on break! (I'm not saying it's a good idea...)
I got tired of creating so many aliases, agents, rules, and prompts.
I built mdflow to consolidate them all into easy-to-author, intelligent markdown files.
Conditional templating β
Inline commands β
Works with anything β
Build the agent you've always wanted.
Open-source FTW β€οΈ

I write a lot of TypeScript scripts. Here's one of my favorite tricks:
zsh has a feature called a "suffix alias" which uses an "-s" flag:
~~~
alias -s ts='bun'
~~~
Create a script called "hello.ts", then simply type "hello.ts" to run the script with bun.
Holidays pro tip:
You can upload the pdfs and/or YouTube urls of your new board games to your favorite AI (Gemini 3 is a great choice).
Then you'll be able to ask whatever questions you want to figure out the rules.

Utah friends,
At higher elevations and drier climates like ours, we should be drinking 1.5-2x more water than average to stay hydrated.
So yeah, keep that water bottle next to your desk.

2. Study UX best practices
3. Optimize for shipping
