Quick blog post on how I'm using Tailscale to allow me to work with more than one app instance at once robgough.net/multiple-app...

Why on earth did they not implement dual-camera (front+back) photos on the iPhone while they implemented that feature for video?

Not sure if I somehow unselected it myself, but my claude code was not set to auto-compact. Turning that on has definitely improved the experience #buildinpublic #buildwithai #claudecode

Weighted Down

I've just launched my new web app! For anyone currently on a journey with their weight, but not finding one of the great many apps that are currently out there quite to their taste.

I've been doing some vibe coding over the weekend, and I've been finding Claude Code to be hitting the limits far quicker than it was last week – anybody else noticing this, or is it just me?

Has anyone had Apple Reminders add entries that were definitely from yourself? I've had a weird religious one added to a non-standard list (Company Ideas) ... and I can't imagine I was listening to anything along these lines for Siri to pick up, but even if – how would it have added the emoji?

FFS the upcoming, and undetailed, price increases for Mounjaro have caused panic buying at the current price. This has meant there are stock issues. Thankfully I'm only one week into this pen, but through Asda as I write this I cannot re-order my current dose 🤬

If a CostCo cake would suffice, then ASDA I'd expect to have one that would that would be fine 🍰

Oh wow, not a lot of calories that! I'm honestly still struggling to stay in the 1800-2000 range (I am now tracking again). Did plateau last week, but back to losing again so far this week. I wrote some notes up on my blog. Zero side effects in week 2, so now wondering whether to up dosage.

I had some advice to make sure you get before photos too — as changes can appear not just on the scales, and it’s good to have the evidence to convince yourself! Congrats though, first jab is the hardest as they say ;)

I was actually worried it was going to dull my taste/enjoyment of food but that isn’t the case at all … actually quite the opposite, it’s just easier to enjoy things in moderation

I took the advice to have plenty of water seriously and have thankfully been mostly side effect free, and went abdomen for what it’s worth. One day I thought I might be getting a headache (more from not eating enough I reckoned) but a bite to eat and some paracetamol sorted me right out.

Wait, where are you supposed to put speakers?! Have I been doing it wrong this whole time?! No wonder I keep losing AirPods 🤣

It was a little longer than I had expected before watching videos about it, but crazy thin, even with a needle phobia it of course was completely painless. The hardest bit for me was straight after where I was a bit shaky (almost like shock) but that went away pretty quickly. Good luck!

I’m still definitely in the process of shrinking portion sizes. I’ve somewhat accidentally had some massive salads over the last week, but agree completely on the apple. That’s all I’ve been having for breakfast and it’s great. I’m also sleeping loads better which has been a surprise to me.

That’s fantastic, I’ve definitely had a few snacks but the *need* was different. I slipped and got some yesterday, but only had half the packet. That’s unheard of for me, so I’m quite pleased. I think I’ve timed it quite nicely with “salad weather” so main meals being healthy has been quite easy.

I would imagine the effectiveness does vary massively from celeb-to-celeb, and agree that influence must extend past the celebs own fanbase for those who are household names. I don't understand why it works, but companies wouldn't still be doing it if they didn't think they were getting a return

If nothing else, for me the fact that they are paid to say something (positive presumably) entirely undermines any and all credibility of what it is they're saying – but clearly people don't think like me (for better or for worse 😉)

I think social proof/influence just is that powerful a phenomenon ... it's why influencers are a) named as such and b) take ad money even at comparatively tiny numbers. The accepted wisdom certainly seems to be correct and worth-it – though certainly I agree that for me personally I don't "get it"

Personal Health: Mounjaro Week 1 – Rob Gough

Last week I started taking Mounjaro and apparently I had a few thoughts robgough.net/mounjaro-wee... #mounjaro

I wonder what happened to that iPhone "Desktop Mode" that was rumoured for WWDC?

Just added a dark mode to giglr.co.uk, which I'd been putting it off as I figured it was going to be an amount of work. But a combination of TailwindCSS and building all my components in Phlex made this super easy.

Followed a load of people from one of @mijustin.bsky.social ‘s starter packs, hoping that spices up my feed a bit!
