I&#39;m gradually replacing OpenAI models usage with DeepSeek 4.1 flash (for my personal projects). DS high is very good at orchestrating, max for planning and implementation and I do a final review with GPT Astra (I use OhMyPi as agent). Plenty of DS usage for just $10 on Open Code Go and with this referral we both get $5 https://opencode.ai/go?ref=V9Q1ZFV3A9

You know what? I like the idea of letting a company transparently train on my prompts and code, if this means getting the same model for a fraction of the original price. If I&#39;m working on an open source app, who cares? The code is being pushed to GitHub anyway 🤷♂️ And if I may add: Muse Spark 1.3 is a really good model (I&#39;m using it as orchestrator on OhMyPi).

GPT Sol 6 and Luna 6 released and they cost 50% less than their 5.6 equivalents! Yay!? No. I&#39;m not excited. Give them a few days and they will silently and shadly decrease the available usage and people will start complaining the week only last 3 days. See you in 1-2 weeks.

@webology I think I&#39;ve found my sweet spot with Claude again. Did a Pro ($20) subscription yesterday and I&#39;ve been using Opus 5.5 medium. It&#39;s way more capable than Sol and even Astra, it&#39;s fast and I&#39;ve consumed 14% of my weekly allowance only. Codex cancelled 👋

I built Draft Omen, a free desktop app that sits next to MTG Arena while you draft. It reads Arena&#39;s log, ranks the cards in every pack using 17Lands win rates and Scryfall card data, and suggests a 40-card deck when the draft is over. It supports Quick, Premier, Traditional and Pick-Two drafts, works with Moxgate through a Chrome extension, and can run mocked drafts against bots with Draftmancer. https://www.andreagrandi.it/posts/introducing-draft-omen-mtg-arena-draft-assistant/ #MTG...

New post: how I make my 20€/month Claude Pro plan last longer in Claude Code. The main session runs Opus 5.5 at medium effort and makes the decisions. A Sonnet 5.5 subagent writes the code, and Haiku 5.5 subagents scope the task and open the pull request. Compared with 24 Opus-only sessions, each PR now costs about 40% less, even if the PRs are bigger. My agent files, https://claude.md and the numbers are all in the post. https://www.andreagrandi.it/posts/claude-code-subagents-to-save-usage/...

New blog post: how I shrank the Book Corners map payload from 13.85 MB to 7 KB. With 37,238 public bookcases, some map requests returned every single library as a pin. Now every request without a viewport is clustered with PostGIS ST_SnapToGrid, and searches reuse the Django queryset as a subquery, so no filter is written twice. Before and after numbers from production inside: https://www.andreagrandi.it/posts/how-i-shrank-book-corners-map-payload/ #Django #PostGIS #Python #GeoJSON #BookCorn...

Released mcp-wire 0.3.0 — a small Go CLI that installs and configures MCP servers across Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode from one interface. New in this version: - `mcp-wire doctor` diagnostics - richer TUI metadata - `mcp-wire metadata` for agents/scripts - GitHub, Notion, and Linear in the curated catalog - safer credential storage https://www.andreagrandi.it/posts/announcing-mcp-wire-0-3-0/ #mcp #ModelContextProtocol #cli #opensource #golang

Released my first Obsidian plugin: Meeting Notes Sync 🎉 It syncs your meeting transcripts, notes &amp; AI summaries into your vault as plain Markdown — from MacParakeet (via its local CLI, so they stay on your machine) and Fellow. One folder per meeting, non-destructive. If both tools recorded the same meeting, they merge into one folder instead of two. Desktop-only, open source, MIT. https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/meeting-notes-sync #ObsidianMD #OpenSource

Hot take: your face in the Youtube video tutorial you are presenting only serves your narcissistic ego. It covers important stuff most of the time and it&#39;s distracting. Don&#39;t @ me. Thanks

📝 Meeting Notes Sync v0.4.0 for Obsidian is out! New: merge two duplicate meetings into one. If MacParakeet and Fellow both record the same meeting under different titles, you used to end up with two folders. Now a single &quot;Merge two meetings…&quot; command folds both into one, combines their notes, removes the leftover, and keeps your meeting numbers sequential. https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/meeting-notes-sync #Obsidian #ObsidianMD

Working on open source apps has become a quite expensive hobby (assuming you write software like it&#39;s 2026 not like it&#39;s &lt; 2024). While I can justify a ~$20 AI subscription for an hobby, I can hardly justify a ~$100 one (unless you make money from it). I guess... enjoy what I can provide with my $20 🤷🏻♂️

Folks, do yourself a favor and do not bother even trying codex-security It will waste your tokens (-20% of my weekly allowance!) and then will stop when finding a security vulnerability (which is the MAIN GOAL of this tool!) #security #fail #openai

@webology random idea: what if we had a fixed time during the Office Hours where attendees can add short topics to an agenda and have 5 minutes to present them? A sort of &quot;Show &amp; Tell&quot; where we share our findings, projects, experience, learning etc... no need to be too long. A max number of topics for each day, first come first served etc.... what do you think? Or should we try to organise a different call/event? (I&#39;d fit into this one, but not my call)....

AI is making code generation cheaper. But software engineering was never just about typing syntax, recalling APIs, or writing lots of code by hand. The real value is still in understanding the problem, defining the right requirements, choosing architecture, making trade-offs, validating correctness, security and performance, handling edge cases, and deciding what not to build. Code is getting cheaper. Judgment is not.

Unrequested ops advice: never listen to my ops advices 😬 This evening I managed to bring @bookcorners down for a few minutes &quot;thanks&quot; to a simple apt-get upgrade which not just upgraded but reconfigured dokku, without even restarting the containers 🙄 Since when a simple package upgrade wants to reconfigure everything from scratch? I thought this was basic stuff to handle.
