I was paying for the ads-free subscripton for instagram and I recently I canceled as a way to reduce social media usage. And the ad version of Instagram is so annoying that it is helping a lot more.

If this new sub becomes a status signaling, it might work.

I usually ask Claude Code to write entries to the md file but I also ask for a prompt to test the rule in a new session. Sometime the rules cc writes are not good enough

gemini cli is good. ampcode is very good and precise with changes.

but codex cli is very annoying to use. hopefully it will get usable.

I use Claude and Cursor in parallel. cursor is doing great on the ui, I took quick screenshots to instruct the changes I wanted and it got it right.

I just had my TransferWise account closed during a transfer to pay rent while overseas. They are holding some of my money, with no perspective of returning it. They say they can't disclose the reasons, leaving you helpless.

I'd advise to be cautions with transferwise as well.

I agree. my collection of liked mixes on soundcloud is the perfect soundtrack for getting work done. I prefer to listen a song I like, specially electronic, in a dj mix than in a playlist.
