WezTerm - Wez's Terminal Emulator Wez's Terminal Emulator

Happy WezTerm user. wezterm.org

I can't remember why I switched from iTerm2 initially. Combination of performance (GPU rendering) and easier configurability via dotfiles / nix-darwin?

I'm also happy that it works on Windows, too, now that I have to work on a Windows workstation for the day job. :)

Each time I work on a new OG image for an article, I'm reminded the devlog series flow from one to the next.

Utterly pointless, but makes me happy.

Likely. Recognizing the "bottleneck" or "cap" is a good first start, but firing them is maybe not the best solution. Protecting them and focusing them is an arguably better first step, especially if there of there is no ill intent at play by said programmer.

@tjmiller.bsky.social Not sure what you are planning to charge for Iris, so not sure it's in my budget these days, but I am definitely interested in seeing it see the light of day! I feel you on the anxiety and second guessing yourself. If you need more encouragement: just do it!

Yeah, that's fair and good to know going on. :) I'd be up to pair sometime.

what is the best speech to text app that you are using with your AI CLI tools?

recommend one that will work, I might go with the builtin dictation soon and test it

OpenClaw (which was Moltbot, which was ClawdBot, all in the course of a week) is the new `sudo curl | bash`

Yes. My brain moves faster than my fingers to the point my fingers just decide to skip entire parts of words.

Today in brain-finger pipeline misadventures...

Intent: "I want to learn"

Typed: "I warn"

When I saw it, I froze. "Wait, what was I trying to type?" Where did "warn" even come from?!

Apparently my fingers just decided to skip "nt to le"?

Is this a thing other people experience?

A lot of β€œUX problems” are really default problems.

If a feature needs a tutorial, it’s usually missing a default.

A good default does 3 things:
1) shows what β€œgood” looks like
2) reduces decisions
3) gets the user to a tiny win fast

Docs teach.
Defaults convert.

Got some advice from a designer a while back that’s stuck with me. I asked how I improve my sense of whether things are well-designed or not and he said: design is about making purposeful decisions. If you can find a purpose for something being the way it is, it is likely well-designed.

Fine tuning a model on my mac, it has been running for over 24h and still not finished.

My sample data consist of 800+ records and less than 900.

So this looks good but not so great πŸ˜…

Neat! Can you share what you are training on (data) and how (method) and reason (why/what)?

PHP's `match` is one of those rare cases where PHP has something that I wish TypeScript had

Love me some `match`

Replacing my n8n workflow with a Claude Code Skill
Replacing my n8n workflow with a Claude Code Skill YouTube video by Brian Casel

My video today tells (shows) the story of how I started with an over-engineered n8n workflow but ended up with a perfectly tuned Claude Code Skill.

Different type of video from my usual. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jo16...

I've started working through some UX/UI for my notes app. I tried using bolt.diy with a local model on my MacBook Pro and had mixed success. :-/ So, now just trying to see if I can accomplish my experiments backed by Design OS and Claude Code.
