Aug 19 These vertical storage spaces are going to be for storing all of my guitar cases, and the space in the middle is open so it doesn't feel as cramped when I'm working at the work bench. Closed cabinets for storing stuff like pedals, cables, whatever, but also unused audio/video gear like lights, camera lenses, whatever. Super excited to see it come together! 7 0 2 10.1k 360 .

Aug 06 The best way to learn to code with AI isn’t to try and “one shot” things. Start by micromanaging things at the tiniest level, asking it to do very specific tasks. It’s way easier to get a knack for how to get good results, and you can slowly go up in abstraction from there. 563 43 26 88.3k 275 .

Aug 01 This vacuum rules. It is already so much better at obstacle avoidance and not getting stuck than any of the other highly rated, super expensive robot vacuums I've bought in the past.

Aug 01 Seriously, I get the "I don't want to get dumber by having AI do everything" fear, but if you pay close attention during your day, like 50-90% of the stuff you do is this sort of bullshit, not real work.
