Notes

As a Claude Code test this morning, I spun up an empty Xcode project, gave a short prompt about the history of my old Mac maintenance app, Yasu, and then provided it a screenshot, telling it to write me the SwiftUI code for it.

Holy moly, the results were pretty darned good…

The SwiftUI layout automatically created by Claude Code.

When using chat (Teams, Slack, etc.) at work, if you react to a post with a 👍🏻 emoji or similar, don’t post a message that says “thanks” too. It’s totally redundant and is just as bad as the one line “thank you” email that I rail against.

I chose to nuke all of my RSS feeds in NetNewsWire this morning, save one (try to guess which - it’s not one of mine), with the plan of starting fresh. I was marking most feeds read without even bothering to even skim over them. It seemed pointless to keep such noise around.

I just subscribed to a year of Anthropic’s Pro Plan. Let’s see what kind of trouble Claude Code can get me into…

📷 I managed to catch a full end-to-end rainbow coming out of the dentist office yesterday afternoon…

This image shows a vibrant rainbow arching across a gray sky over a row of lush, green trees in a parking lot. The foreground features a large, well-rounded tree canopy with smaller palm trees in the background on the left. A silver SUV is parked in the lower left, and a modern, low-rise building sits on the right. The scene suggests a light rain or after-rain atmosphere with diffused sunlight.

My RSS VibeReader project turned out pretty much how I wanted it to, and I learned a lot. I use it daily to read certain feeds. But, now that it’s done, I need a new “something” to put my energy into. I think I need to start a podcast and learn all about that now. Searching for a subject…

So I started a thing. Like I said, it was right around the corner…

I spent some time away from Micro.blog, intentionally not viewing my own site. I did today and realized that mnml actually ended up being a pretty good looking theme…

I’ve been considering making a move from 1Password to a Bitwarden Enterprise subscription. Having been a 1P user for a very long time, I’m hesitant about making a change, but would like to save the $18 a year. Someone talk me off the ledge – one way or the other…

Usually, I’ll leave the outside Christmas decor up until New Year’s Day. It’s been a tradition of my family since I was a kid. But since rain is forecast for SoCal from Wednesday through Sunday, I quickly took it all down yesterday. Surprisingly, I’m a little sore because of it today.
