Haha, superb

Love it - great idea

Good to know! Thanks

Thanks for the great overview!

Another response had similar views too so sounds like solid advice

Awesome - excited to start it!
blackhaj7··on Indefinite Backpack Travel
I did this for a year and half as I travelled around South America.

Hard to describe how liberating it is to have so few possessions. So many choices you don’t have to make. You become so fleet of foot that serendipity is everywhere.

Glad I got the chance to do it

blackhaj7··on Mise: Monorepo Tasks
A mise postinstall hook?

What do you put in it?

blackhaj7··on Grok is now the most popular model on OpenRouter
Haha!

Ok, interesting - will revisit

Awesome - thanks!

Sounds great - thanks for the recommendation.

Looks like it is the second in a trilogy. Can you just dive in or did you read the first book before?

Same experience here. Codex has been a nice alternative when Claude Code is being dumb

Interesting, will check it out

I would recommend trialing it for a month instead of ChatGPT.

I still use Claude code for coding

What is shady about it?

What are you using it for when it shows a “nazi bias”?

I have used it exclusively for a month and haven’t seen this at all

blackhaj7··on Grok is now the most popular model on OpenRouter
I was hesitant to use Grok but have actually found it to be excellent and it has totally replaced ChatGPT for me now.

The biggest difference is that it isn’t sycophantic and will often tell me I am wrong when I am. This makes way more of a difference than I thought it would as I feel I can trust the results more (perhaps naively)

blackhaj7··on What if I don't want videos of my hobby time available to the world?
I feel like this a lot of the time too.

The author describes the sentiment nicely. I don’t like it, it feels icky but I also don’t ask people to stop. I just wish that culturally it wasn’t assumed to be ok by default

blackhaj7··on How we're shipping faster with Claude Code and Git Worktrees

If Simon isn't an expert then I am not sure who is
blackhaj7··on Hyatt Hotels are using algorithmic Rest “smoking detectors”
In the US, it feels like there is little recourse for these sorts of changes.

Consumer protections are not like in other places

Interesting, thanks

Thanks!
blackhaj7··on What caused the 'baby boom'? What would it take to have another?
War, sadly.

Seems like some politicians are doing their best to arrange that

Nicely sums up a lot of interactions these days

Wow, that website has some interesting stuff on it!

Agreed
blackhaj7··on Sam Altman Slams Meta’s AI Talent Poaching: 'Missionaries Will Beat Mercenaries'
Couldn't think of a worse steward of AI than Meta/Zuck (not a fan of OpenAI either). One of the most insidious companies out there.

Sad to see Nat Friedman go there. He struck me as "one of the good ones" who was keen to use tech for positive change. I don't think that is achievable at Meta

blackhaj7··on Better Auth, by a self-taught Ethiopian dev, raises $5M from Peak XV, YC
So pumped for Bereket. Better Auth is awesome.

I am also interested on how they plan to monetise it. I love the library and the success story but hope that the weight of this VC money doesn’t impact its awesomeness
