The best Mcp server I have as Claude Connector is Emacs running on my Homeserver. It has one tool - eval-elisp. Using it Claude can do almost anything. My top 1 pinned chat is “Run agent-start-claude-code using HotterEmacs in dir …” - after that I have a ready to use remote-controlled session running on my homeserver.

Microservices.
Not really programming, as this is more on the architectural level.
Microservices is a valid approach when you need to address massive scale. The thing is, I have seen it applied to things that could realistically serve its audience in a handful of modest servers with a less fashionable approach.
It was done under the guise of simplification; each individual microservice was in fact very small. But this at the cost of absolute spaghetti architecture.
I assume this is not original at all at this point - but (extreme) DRY is not a good practice. My experience is that a bit of copying yourself and your colleagues in the code base often make maintenance of the code base easier.
Getters and setters for everything. Certainly, if you want an object to be doing more than just getting and setting a value right now, get them in there!
Planning to add functionality later without breaking code? Stop it! That should break code! If I'm consuming a library and have been using this setter method for 2 years, I don't want it to suddenly introduce brand new validation, caching, or logging behavior!
brings so many issues. It really accelerates. Not only the good parts but also the bad parts. Combine this with a product person that doesn't even know what a refinement is. I'm 41, maybe I'll study to pivot, maybe I'll get into trading. I can't handle it anymore.

creator of textlog:Very nice! Isn’t a single asterisk each side for italics, and two each side for bold? Even Markdown is hard to define these days. 😅

you can now microblog about your to-dos!
The syntax is:
something #todo list
[x] my todo checked item
[ ] my other itemI have this in my config:
(setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO" "DOING" "|" "DONE" "WONT-DO")
(sequence "DELEGATED" "WAITING" "|" "COMPLETED" "ABANDONED")
(sequence "IDEA" "|" "DISCARDED")))
Checkboxes are pretty limited
It’s either done or not. If it’s not done then you can add the reason to the text and/or a hashtag to make it searchable. Saves you from having to maintain a union type.
Ordered JBL Charge 6, waiting for delivery today. Will mount into my bike and will listen to music while commuting 25km to the office. I'm a victim of marketing, seeing an ad, buying stuff.
Onboarded on Claude Team with Unlimited credit usage. In the first day, subscription limits were hit and then it silently went on spending 530 EUR in credits before I noticed.
In a single day? That’s insane. It’s 5 months on the 100$ Codex which is practically unlimited.
In a few hours, yes. Token-based pricing is insane.
I knew token-based was more expensive but didn’t imagine that much. Which is why u can’t compete making alternative coding agents, their own subscriptions are much cheaper, but why they do it on their own Teams package is weird. Maybe targetting companies they feel they can pay.
Trying out a new feed view where conversations are deduplicated and assembled into tree views, might make it easier to follow a convo by reading it naturally, though it loses some of the chronological sorting. Let’s see how it goes. cc suggested this kind
Yep, tree-view is much better. Some improvement: collapsed by default; or having +/- at the root message.
Added the +-, collapsed by default I don’t think so, you’d have to be clicking all the time to read a page. The tree assembles from what is fetched in the page, so if you increase the page size from you’d see more of the convo.
When I click on my profile handle on the top right corner, a white vertical strip shows up with words “profile”, “account”, and “logout”, which are spaced far apart. @stagasprofilefollowcreative technologist

creator of textlog.Might be ok now. Don’t have an iPhone to check so can you see if it’s ok?
Still the same.
Now it should work. The only issue is you have to tap again on it to close it, tapping outside won’t work.
In an attempt to put myself out there, I have started a blog to write about my experience as a software engineer. Feel free to check out my first article :)
Any shows recommendations? I have no idea what is worth watching (since I rarely watch shows) so now I’m watching The Mentalist from 2008. They had flip phones then.

Any way to have variable pitch font? I want Helvetica ;-)
Started a repo, - if anyone wants to contribute/jump in, I'm happy to hand it over. I'm not really a cli person. cc
