“Could have?”
“Could” is doing a lot of work here.
My fear is we don’t get an action focused D majority and we go right back to whatever this is bc it will take so long to clean up.

As you can see, the adventure in training my own small vision model was sort of a fail other than having learned a lot.
Too many classes imposed on too few parameters with too few images and training runs over 30ish hours baby sitting the run.



Bust out the insurrection act. Frozen pickles are scary.
Fun AI PM workflow.
Step 2 results were impressive.
I’ve started saying “our code” when I work with Claude Code. I feel like it ensures Claude feels ownership of the changes.
I have zero data it makes a difference, but it reflects the reality that it’s a pair programming partner.
Voice input… everyone still using SuperWhisper or is there a better solution? (I’m on a Mac)
Is Claude in a bulking or cutting cycle?
It’s critical to consider both simplification skills AND curating bloat you added.
The quote about software that stuck with me recently is that code is no longer precious.
You can generate a bunch, realize it’s trash, throw it out, and try again.
If you haven’t been paying attention in software development… the new min bar is “magical”.
Anything less is no longer a marketable service.
Good night Claude.
The small image model training has resumed. 11 of 100 epochs complete. There’s more babysitting than I expected using the Google Collab training system. I suspect this will end up taking the weekend.


Let the training begin! Wondering if I’m the only person to be training a small vision model on toddler friendly labeling for educational purposes.


I wish there was a better way to vote with your tax dollars. I don’t want to boycott a company. I’d much rather be in a country that spent on healthcare instead of ballrooms and invading other sovereign nations.
Need to figure out how to make that happen. :/
Me too sticker. Me too.
My problem with all these alternatives is that we are visual creatures. We even like to see words as confirmation of our intent in UX. I’m not bullish on any non-screen phone alternative. At best you get good accessories to phones.

Testing out some agent loop designs on local models and I can say that both I and the model have found 100 ways that haven’t worked yet. I love how it at one point reasons it can just make up an answer. :)

If you want to know how I ended training my own image object classification model there’s a book you can read that explains it well.


Another in progress teaser of my new app. #buildinpublic
Old enough to have once submitted an App to iOS version 1.2. It made about $250 at the time. I thought “that’s it. This is peak mobile app!”.
Going for round two soon. But what is it? #buildinpublic


Selecting anything over 50 emails in Gmail and asking for it to take a bulk action is more of a suggestion. “That’s a lot, I’ll get to it later” is the vibe you get in return. One day later… you went from 6K attempted deletes to 1K accomplished… and Gmail gave up.

What Nano Banana can do with single shot prompt grounding is truly impressive.
I can’t share some of the most impressive ones with my kids merging photos and changing outfits. They were all pretty flawless and fast.
So I’ll just post our dog mountain biking. Which was a little more slopish.


First time I could see it with the naked eye and the camera. Awesome!


Cool Claude Code Ai Use: Hyper-personalized learning
I wanted to learn about Swift for Mac and iOS development so I vibe coded a working app. But the cool part was then saying “I’m new to swift development. I have a background the last few years in Ruby on Rails. Give me a primer on Swift using this project as a teaching tool.”
It built a 1,500 line guide that walked me through the Vibe Coded swift app to show me how it worked with a comparison to each concept in Ruby/Rails!
