Will need to do a follow up for more recent. Mainly using sub agents and Opus 4.6

Same, but it's been happening for all parts of the day. Before making dinner or going to bed, etc. 😳

So true. I just posted bsky.app/profile/hand... and immediately saw your post after. Hope you enjoy the long weekend.

Yes, this!

The last month has been a non-stop (nights & weekends) wild ride of coding with agents and shipping. I've been genuinely excited and learned so much. Definitely am burned out, and glad for the long holiday weekend with fun things to do and no computer. So many ideas that will have to wait. 😂

Matterport probably. Been the standard for real estate a while and has a phone app to do it.

Valentine 💘 or openclaw.ai 🦞

ChatGPT spotted in the Barnes and Noble magazine section.

Estimated timelines showing how long this will take in person-days

So... this work got done in under an hour using this strategy w/Firebender and multiple parallel agents using Claude Opus 4.5. How long will it be before these estimates get updated to new agent development strategies in these models? 😱🤖

I'm at about 12 "You're absolutely right!" messages today from Claude. I guess I've still got a job for a little while.

@mikepenz.dev Thank you for your Compose multiplatform material Markdown library. I'm using it in a couple places. It's great!

Oh yeah, wow. Server stuff is a whole different knowledge set than client-side work.

I always thought it was CloudFare from hearing people mention it, but it's CloudFlare it seems. Just in case anyone else didn't realize that either... 🫣

@johnoreilly.dev You were mentioned as Firebender was trying to upgrade to the latest Compose Multiplatform and Navigation 3. 😲

Much better answer than mine 😂

I understand the feeling. Lately I'm letting it make me faster and I steer and correct it.

Ask Claude to implement it based on an existing implementation for another language to address those sorts of cases

Trimming down here as well. It adds up.

Fair, just saying what I was used to seeing with Android libs. Familiar doesn't mean better though. Agreed that it is limiting and the other isn't.
