Trying out pi as a replacement for claude code.
It has extensions, so you can really customize it.
Here's 'Reveal' by @mitsuhiko.at which finds files mentioned during the conversation and opens a custom ui to let you open files or add them to the prompt.

Making exam cheat sheets with Claude Code:
• Converts textbook PDFs → Markdown
• Suggests Typst for clean layouts
• Ingests textbooks + past papers
• Iterates in a feedback loop
• Exports a gist for voice Q&A in @ClaudeAI
It’s such an amazingly general tool!
Claude Code can solve Advent of Code 2025 in 2 hours - no human intervention required.
I wrote a post about why it's so good at 'LeetCode' (includes a 2 hour video of Claude solving it):

There aren't enough easter eggs / quirky things in software these days but @anthropic.com has some good ones:
Claude Code coloring in 'ultrathink' is fun!
/stickers lets you buy stickers, and discover the mascot is called 'Clawd' www.stickermule.com/claudecode
Was updating my Claude Code rules and remembered I'd written this guide for my junior engineers when I was running z-dev.

It's been 8 years, but most of the advice is timeless.
Just released 0.0.1 of Patchy.
It's a CLI to help manage patches. I'm not a fan of long-running Github forks, I use Patchy to maintain my fork of Firefox.

claude "/stats" is the new GitHub commit heatmap
Wrote up some tips for using Neovim with Claude Code.
Took the plunge to learn Nix and configure a mini-pc with it.

Definitely learned a thing or two about Linux along the way!
LLMs are currently kind of slow.
OpenAI's new gpt-oss 120b is a pretty capable model in the benchmarks (maybe ~1 year behind the state of the art)
If you run it on Cerebras you can glimpse the speed improvements that are coming.
Dev tooling often behaves differently if you set CI=true
We're going to need AI=true so that dev tools can behave differently when called by an AI agent:
- Non-interactive (like CI=true)
- Less logging to preserve context
- Tell the agent what commands it could run next based on what happened
When you use claude code a lot, it feels obvious that coding with agents on mobile makes sense.
Seems likely >20% of 'coding' will happen on mobile within 5 years (presumably from ~0% today!)
If you have a social media app where the DMs are important but you want to stop being exposed to the feed. e.g. LinkedIn or Twitter
You can use beeper.com which aggregates chats across multiple platforms.
Then block/uninstall the original app.
Was explaining agentic coding to my mum yesterday and found myself saying:
"My job used to be typey typey, and now it's chatty chatty"
Kind of sums it up nicely.
With Claude Code you can bring it up to speed on a PR by doing this incantation:
git fetch origin refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main && git diff "$(git merge-base --fork-point origin/main HEAD)"
Which calculates the PR diff to main, like you'd see on Github.
Freshened up limitphone.com (again!)
✅ Visual refresh
✅ Landing pages for parents, gambling and porn
✅ New main video + videos for parents, gambling and porn.
✅ Positioning v5!
Using Claude Code on the Max plan feels a bit like fast-forwarding 2 years in the software engineering industry. It's equal parts exciting and scary.
LLMs do markdown code blocks way better if you ask them to put it in quadruple backticks.
Something I've learned about myself in the past few years is to trust my 'spidy senses' on complex problems.
They turn out to be right 95%+ of the time but come with 0 rational explanation I can pass on to others. Usually takes a couple days for my brain to catch up.
I'm internally conflicted about using AI tools to code.
I want it to be good! But I keep trying claude code in good faith but remain pretty unconvinced.
I'm slowly diverging from quite a few of my friends and colleagues who seem are all increasing vibing.
I've recently been working on my computer ALOT and I've been pleasantly surprised how much better my body feels doing it with a split keyboard.
Still better to probably spend less hours on my computer though!
I realized about 5 years ago that the SNES came out in 91/92. My earliest gaming memories were from 93/94 on a NES. My parents had got us the older console and I was none-the-wiser for 30 years!
llm-ui.com hits 1k stars! No matter how you're counting.
Limit now has a safe search option.
Forces safe search on in Google and other search engines.
Search engines without safe search are blocked.
llm-ui.com got picked up by daily.dev and doubled in stars in 2 days. Neat!

Still a bit sad Slack has won 'company messaging' market.
I feel like it's designed for maximum engagement.
It requires a lot of disapline from me / the people I work with to be productive.
There's no prebuilt of gambling apps,, and the gambling apps are different in every country.
I had to use some smart techniques to build a comprehensive list of ~1500 apps.
The brute force way I did it would have taken months for humans. But cost ~$30 in GPT 4o-mini.
Limit now has a Gambling Blocklist. Blocks ~1500 apps and 0.5M websites.
Been using crappy, but functional, dishwasher that came with our house for 4 years. Decided to replace it, new one is arriving today!
Get up this morning and the old one is shorting the electrics (never happened before).
It's making me so uneasy that I can't explain it.
