Donāt offshore your thinking to predictive token generators.
Do your thinking, tell the text generator about what you think, and then have it do the tedious part. The writing. The typing.
If you consider thinking to be tedious, you should probably work on that š¤£

I see a lot of vibe coders trying to integrate the Podscan API.
Some get it first shot, just throwing the API docs in there. Others struggle for weeks, only to have their somewhat working version overwritten every time.
Itās still a very volatile approach to building software.

Ridiculing and dunking on people online is the ultimate self-own.
In the short term, it gets you attention from people calling you out or enjoying divisive content.
In the long term, it attracts the absolutely wrong people and gives you a net-negative reputation.

LLMs are ALWAYS hallucinating their answers. It's just that sometimes, we agree with what they hallucinate. That's when they're "right."
Whether an LLM answer is correct or not has nothing to do with the LLM and everything to do with your ability to verify and judge the result.

Earlier today, one of the services I use for sending email blocked my API access temporarily for having a non-functional credit card in that account.
(I fixed it, and it immediately worked again.)
I was thinking, as much as it annoyed me, that this is a VERY smart solution. And this wasn't even a service that heavily relied on AI or anything. It was merely a transactional data component.
But preventing abuse on APIs that are, by design, highly scalable and parallelizable is always a good idea. Even if an account has never been a problem, the moment the payment method stops working, abuse prevention is VERY important.

This is why I record 15min+ voice memos as my prompts for Junie & Claude Code. Scope it on every level, be precise, be clear in the overall vision, preempt edge cases, and explain where features are embedded in user journeys.
If your coding agent sucks, your prompt is unclear.

Just added an SEO Strategy section to every Podscan Ideas Vault idea for subscribers. Seed keywords, content strategy, and quite a few more short and long-term tactics. Idea-specific, on demand :D
Thanks for suggesting this, Josh. This is amazing! https://t.co/CRXutI64Be

If you book a meeting with me, don't show up, and don't send an email before or after giving an(y) explanation, I likely won't have a meeting with you ever again.
Is this too strong a stance?

Sending emails from a no-reply address is NEVER a good idea.
It shows a complete disinterest in connection with your users or customers. āDonāt talk to me. I donāt care to make it easy.ā
You may have good internal reasons for it. But itās always disrespectful to the recipient.

This is both the most enjoyable and detestable part of software engineering: understanding that (and why) this happens and building systems that can recover from it.
