Great talk by Vladimir Dementyev on jobs. Didn't watch, just went through the slides but loved it. https://speakerdeck.com/palkan/rails-world-2026-durable-orchestration-on-rails-from-continuation-to-workflow

Wow! One shot claude demo. Prompt: make a dynamic 15 second motion graphics video that shows what an incredible tool flipper is. Could it be improved? Sure, but honestly its stupid good for < 100 character prompt.

Used the @planetscale mcp to drop from 100% cpu to 85% in two 1 line PRs. Just some real obvious low hanging fruit.

fun prompt: how many lines of code did we have in this app august last year vs today? feel free to adjust the list of apps or the date. Shows you the AI boom. Fireside and Box Out are lit!

Box Out and Fireside were both ~100k LOC (Ruby, JS, Html) a year ago. Both are ~250k as of today. Both are around a decade old. That means 150% increase in one year compared to previous decade. LOC is more interesting than useful but its still insane to see.

You can also have a malleable operating system on a Mac. You don't have to switch to Omarchy. One thing that has driven me crazy for a year is getting Mac OS to choose my Shure mic if it's plugged in automatically, even if I have Bose headphones on or AirPods in. Works great!

I need to give Claude some props. After switching away two months ago, Opus 5.5 brought me back and fixed the issues that caused me to leave. It's fast and barely touches my usage limits. That said, the Claude Mac app leaves so much to be desired compared to the Codex Mac app. It's ๐งโ๐ณ๐.

Garrett and I started a podcast: The Friday Deploy. Ship on Friday, sleep through the night. Episode 1: how we entirely rewrote Fireside over the past 2 years, from pg 9.5 to 18, all new infra, brand new studio (for customers) and website. https://www.johnnunemaker.com/the-friday-deploy/

Pretty cool that cloudflare has super slurper to migrate files to R2 from S3 compatible providers. You just click some buttons and it can migrate terabytes of data.

wispr flow knows me too well. It's dubbed me a "clarification seeker".

Just shipped Air, a new Fireside theme. Light and dark mode, looks great on your phone, and a clean, modern, airy feel that lets your podcast do the talking. Pretty stoked about this one.

Improved the daily summary email for flipper cloud. Light/dark mode support and better responsive layout. I love getting these each night and seeing what was shipped the previous day. For this one I used claude opus 5.5. After a few probing questions, it had a nice list of improvements.

Switched from 1 telemetry request == 1 sqs message to buffering/compressing many into 1 sqs message. I knew I'd need to someday but made it 2 years-ish the old way. Messages decrease and message size increases. You get charged for 64k whether you use 1k or 64k so might as well batch.

Prompt of the day: Look through my repos that use github actions and find steps that can be parallelized based on github's announcement post on their blog post titled "Actions steps can now be run in parallel". Sped up a couple of my app's CI times.

> Last week: 27 Claude Code ยท 9 Codex. 40 PRs merged. ~25k LOC. Interesting. It would seem I used claude code more than codex the past week. First time in two months at least. That opus 5.5 energy...
