If you're vibing such complex things you should probably be in the habit of also generating detailed documentation and commits so the ai can follow breadcrumbs, add some playbooks for how to debug and it's actually pretty good. Too complex for local models context though - so you're probably still correct albeit there are ways to mitigate or delay this.

Conductor has a feature that lets you define a script to copy .env and other things as needed from main repo into new worktrees on creation.

I don't use it much anymore, but last I did I would run into port conflicts with docker projects.

Most of the time it's when I want to go back and have a skill made for future reuse, but with remote control I've had some sessions open for remote diagnostics and it just works better than starting from scratch - even having lessons learned to create memories and update Claude.md.

I know it's wasteful but often I've got a surplus of tokens and not enough of my time - so it's a trade off I've been fine with.

They did add it, it explicitly says "Scrolling is paused after time's up but they may still see individual Shorts"

I added 15 min timer for my kids today, not as good as blocking them entirely from even being seen .. but at least it's something.

This is very annoying, but there’s a right click and force keep downloaded that reflags the folder and all items within it.

Buy a coral TPU for frigate - it can handle a ton of inference and is very cheap for what it offloads off the cpu

Sounds interesting, but can't find pricing information anywhere ?

Only: > We offer a subscription model per team. Token costs for AI models (Claude, etc.) are paid directly via your own Claude subscription or API keys. Reach out for specific pricing based on your team size.

Is it "free" for single developer workflows ?

I started working on a task management app that could handle the massive amounts of context switching I do on a daily basis - aggregated over slack, iOS reminders, Jira, linear, and obsidian... I'm glad I'm not alone in having such crazy environment.

In the hands of SWEs that understand what to prompt, it's significantly better than overseas code from "seniors" who clearly are juniors being billed at senior rates.

I've started using Claude code to review my linear tasks, add / propose new tags/labels and flag if it's a programming task (and if so flesh out requirements so I can toss it to an agent). It really helps me to just toss everything into it and see what I've got.

I'm actually going to take it further and use clawd to check Jira, linear, slack, and Apple reminders and help me to unify and aggregate them - as I'll often remember and record a reminder on Siri - and kind of ping me about these and adjusting dates when they're overdue so nothing slips through too past due

It's good at making new skills for itself, and the ability to add to WhatsApp, telegram, and discord means sharing access to internal applications and not needing users to get onto VPN makes a great combination.

Wonder how this will work to connect into hotel networks - on my glinet I have to clone my iPhone MAC address so I basically have to connect to the WiFi, do the with authentication enter room number and last name, then disconnect and boot up the router.

Is there a better way to get these connected to a WiFi for relaying where the Ethernet isn't an option?

Have you looked into stop hooks, or is the issue only when greater than N time has passed ?

Can / Does Codex actually check docker logs and other things for feedback while iterating on something that isnt working ? That is where the true magic of Claude comes for me. Often things cant be one shot, but being able to iteratively check logs, make an adjustment, rebuild the docker containers, send a curl, and confirm fixed is huge improvement.

Node Red, N8N, and Zapier I think are the biggest ones. I think the cool idea of AI implemented no code is, in theory, you can add a new node - tell the AI what to do, and it can build custom logic to do whatever it is that you want with the input.

Thats probably verging on too high of a complexity for end users, but if you can obfuscate the black box and have it work well enough, it can definitely be big.
