For my formatting in TS files in neovim, I used to use prettierd for formatting. Now I migrated oxfmt and it's fast enough that I don't need anything special.

Slowly crafting my agents.md file. Although I read the advice to incorporate what AI gets wrong back into the agents.md file several times, it took till now to act upon it.

I understand the reasoning of not releasing any benchmarks other their proprietary one. Because most benchmarks at the moment doesn't tell you much. You have to use the model and feel it's capabilities.

Composer 1.5 - In: 3.5 Out: 17.5
Composer 1 - In: 1.25 Out: 10
GPT-5.3-Codex - In 1.75 Out: 14

Is composer really that good to charge 2x premium for input?

Cursor themselves put out a tweet saying their engineers prefer GPT-5.3-Codex.

I tried Wispr Flow after a lot of reluctance, but it is amazing and great. Most of my reluctance is due to the fact that it is another subscription in my life. But I discovered that it's pretty cheap like $3/month in India.

Even with minimal instructions AI was gave me better interface through gcloud cli.

I debug a lot of my issues using logs in GCP. But the GCP interface for it was always the bottleneck. It's painful to multiple sets of corelated logs. I am always in comment/uncomment hell.

Learning about subagents is a big unlock for me. I am running a browser automation that has been running for 2+ hours now.

Without using subagents, Opus went down random rabbit holes. Sonnet didn't work though. May be I gave it too much bad context.

Just reviewed and merged a PR from terminal. It feels so refreshing compared to using Github UI.

This article from @arstechnica.com made me believe I can be software engineer even if I am not pursuing a CS degree.

What a different time 2013 was!

Using AI for every little thing is stupid. You want to rename a variable, use variable renaming from LSP.

This podcast is great listen. Remove the hype out of AI and keeps it real.

Some takeaways:

- AI hallucinating interruptions
- Programmer disengagement is a problem
- Anthropic instrumented Zed to see how they use editors.

Metabase is awesome. Really easy to setup dashboards!

Also extremely easy to deploy from Coolify!

I love hackmd to write documents when I am on a video call. It's so smooth. It feels much faster compared to writing on Google Docs.

Sigh! Now the VM hangs at pnpm install. May be time to switch VMs.

I lived with it for more than a year not knowing what it was. Now that I know it, I just could not live with it.

I have to breakup with prisma in side project and switch to drizzle. prisma generate causes the VM to hang randomly. I don't have will power to investigate why CPU usage goes to 100% suddenly.
