Few tools:

1) a combination of Python scraper and Claude skill to help family members find job by matching jobs to resume, to rank best fits

2) similar to above, but for stock data and financial news to identify movers and why they moved and see if anything is interesting.

3) a couple of attempts to import EPIC medical data from hospital into an offline app. Needs more work, data export from EPIC is crappy and a mix of images, pdfs, text, HTML and .jsonb files. Not useful at the moment

4) an application that downloads stock market data to run 15-20 strategies and back testing to identify stocks that match multiple and then run sentiment analysis on news feeds. Interesting, but semi useful. Needs lot more work.

Problem, I don’t trust 3rd party services with access to financial data. No offense to the OP.

I wish this was open source and self-hostable. Not suggesting that OP does that since I’m sure he has to pay bills :)

I may look into doing something like this for personal use. I’ve gotten interested in creating desktop apps which store data locally. Have created a few using Claude code. It seems Plaid has some APIs for personal use.

Used to go to Peppermill in Santa Clara, and Dennys many years ago.

Thanks for suggesting El Caminito, looks good. Our usual Mexican for many years has been La Milpa in Milpitas, haven’t found a good equivalent yet.

This is probably the reason why there is no unified age for drinking, because everyone came at it at different times from different place and have differing rationale including social, religious, cultural etc.

Social media is new and there is no cultural/religious rule for/against it. So 16 is the starting point someone decided (was it Australia or NZ?), and others are following since it's a good starting point. As time progresses, maybe it'll move up or down and different countries might take a different stand.

Have gotten into a habit of keeping a note of which med when on the fridge.

I guess I run my iPhone on low battery mode a lot, due to idiosyncratic reasons too. Maybe I do.

Apple battery replacement costs anywhere from $70 (for a ~$400 phone) to $120 (for a ~$1000+ phone). In many global markets you can get a brand new phone for that much.

That way AI-AI can chat and save humans’ time.

But yes, would love to save context/cache such that it can be played back/referred to if needed.

/compact is a little black box that I just have to trust that is keeping the important bits.

I don’t understand this. I frequently have long breaks. I never want to clear or even compact because I don’t want to lose the conversations that I’ve had and the context. Clearing etc causes other issues like I have to restate everything at times and it misses things. I do try to update the memory which helps. I wish there was a better solution than a time bound cache

It is always a learning exercise to see how other people are using CC and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from this, so thanks for sharing it.

But, I don't understand what 600,000 lines in 60 days mean. Lines of code is one thing, but to do what? There still needs to be a loop where CC generates code, there is test automation, maybe do some code review, and then test/run to see what it's built and if it matches the spec, refine the spec, provide new guidance and so on. Products are not built in isolation and are not just KLoC.

Now, if I were asking CC to, take the Algorithms text book and write all the code in all the language etc. (as an example) 600 KLoC over 60 days would make sense. If it were porting an existing product from one stack to another, maybe. But for new products, at least to me that part doesn't make sense.

then, companies are hiring fewer people, because AI

so, while in theory this does sound like a reasonable startup idea that makes sense on paper, should we really be optimizing in such a way, as opposed to making sure that we're hiring the best possible set of people.

I'm pretty sure, at least at the moment, only the most desperate will tolerate such process. The IVRs have become annoying enough that I occasionally find myself cursing while dealing with them, I'll definitely fail such an interview.

Problem is, for some reason it never tastes sour enough, or like the commercial sourdough. I have done slow rise in the fridge over 24+ hours etc. Made sourdough starter from scratch several times, same result.

Bread tastes good, just not sour, or rather sour enough to tell it's sourdough.
