<p>"Humans have a token limit too" - that's so good and it explains so much of the fatigue that myself and colleagues/peers have about Claude in particular.</p>

<p>I've been using the Chrome CDP skill for Claude Code with great success for test automation purposes (locator detection, troubleshooting mobile layout, and so on). I found it here on HN: <a href="https://github.com/pasky/chrome-cdp-skill" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pasky/chrome-cdp-skill</a><p>I remember seeing another Chromium-based "MCP-focused" browser at that point in time, but I can't remember what it was called.</p>

<p>Same for me. I also download videos and put them on a USB stick plugged into the TV.</p>

<p>I recently migrated to a new phone and one of the apps I had to re-login was Dropbox. A feeling of nostalgia washed over me. It was absolutely essential many years ago but now the competition is huge. I'm not a fan of Private Equity but if it can keep the business alive, then it's worth exploring by the leadership.</p>

<p>I've worked on a LLM-based visual validation framework for mobile layouts of different websites. The results are pretty flaky, even with Claude models. I've actually seen better performance with older ones like Meta Llama 4 or Amazon's Nova (the solution was running on AWS Bedrock).<p>I've since refactored it to first do some deterministic checks using CSS, to determine visual glitches like overlaps. Only after do I use LLMs to figure out if text is broken, loading spinners still display, or other such things where models are better.<p>For deterministic tasks like pixel-by-pixel comparison, I don't think LLMs are good enough (for now, at least).</p>

<p>I am a Hover user for my personal website, on a .com domain. I've been extremely way of using any of the customized TLDs since I heard about these sort of massive hikes. I agree that the communication could have been much better on Hover side, especially with such a huge increase.</p>

<p>Really nice presentation and a ton of useful info. It's hard to boil it down to a single reading though. One thing that would be nice is a bit of a comparison between what companies claimed to do vs what they're actually doing, like a sort of BS meter.</p>

<p>I also agree.<p>"Making kids" is fun, duh.<p>Raising kids, however, can be very challenging in all sorts of ways. Physically, mentally, socially, etc. I became aware of just how much sleep deprivation affected me and for the sake of myself & my family I just sacrificed everything else to ensure I got good quality sleep. Fortunately, I was helped in this and I made damn sure everyone was supported when I was awake.</p>

<p>This also annoyed me a lot. I was running it before upgrading the SSD storage and I wanted to compare with LM Studio. Figured it would be good to have both interfaces use the same models downloaded from HF.<p>Had to go down the same rabbit hole of finding where things are, how they're sorted/separated/etc. It was unnecessarily painful</p>

<p>I enjoy Tim's content and in the last couple of years he's definitely gone beyond his established "shtick". He's definitely done his own "dog-fooding", testing advice on himself and he's found some awesome people along the way.<p>I'm happy that he has gone beyond the "book / author of the week" format and this blog post is most welcomed.<p>Relationships are crucial, especially ones that help elevate yourself or, at least, keep you on a stable level instead of dragging you down.</p>

<p>I wholeheartedly agree with point 7 Your goal is for your team to thrive without you.<p>I spent a lot of time also playing a Scrum Master role in addition to my regular duties. So much so that some managers asked me to pursue this full time. I always explained that my goal is to be there just as a point of contact and that the team should be able to manage itself.<p>Sadly, I see so many managers, scrum masters, or even regular engineers consider this as a dumb approach to make yourself replaceable. If you don't hoard knowledge then you'll be laid off when the company's numbers look bad.</p>

<p>Same. I was looking to see if others had the same experience. With a toddler and my personal goal of being as present as possible with him, I rarely find enough time to use it. When he sleeps, I go on the PC and that's it.<p>Maybe as he gets older. Until then, I'm just periodically charging it up.</p>

<p>I re-read most of the stories a few years ago.
It's shocking/surprising/depressing just how many things repeat themselves. From the obvious, veteran of Afghanistan war in the form of Dr. Watson, to London being a melting pot of so many cultures, with high society reigning from ... on high.<p>I also agree that the view directly into the state of mind of both Watson and Holmes was refreshing.</p>

<p>I see this sort of thing, plus additional broad-spectrum check-ups recommended in a lot of podcasts, particularly those geared towards being more efficient/productive.<p>On the one hand, good for those that can afford it, but I do hope they're not uselessly occupying the machine & labs, thereby making it hard to people who need them for relevant medical reasons.</p>

<p>Honestly, because the barrier to getting an MVP is almost non-existent, you see a lot more people trying to actually implement their ideas, instead of just relinquishing them to a list of ideas never to see the light of day.</p>
