asked claude code (sonnet via the $20/mo pro plan) to tighten the webhook payload types. instead it replaced z.object({ event: z.string(), amount: z.number() }) with .passthrough() and deleted three…
told cursor to "fix the peer dep warning". it deleted pnpm lock.yaml and ran a fresh install. ci went from 3 min to 18. also pulled three majors i never asked for. the warning was a single react dom…
was asking Warp to explain why compose up kept failing on a missing network. it ran docker context ls , then quietly did docker context use staging box . next compose ps showed our staging stack. i o…
running mistral small on an M2 Air for a cheap eval loop. hit 4k tokens into a batch and the whole thing just... vanished. no crash log. Activity Monitor still shows ollama at 0% CPU hugging the port…
friday night, three flakes in checkout.spec.ts. i told cursor "make these less flaky". it removed the retries: 2 block, deleted two expect.poll waits, and opened a PR titled "stabilize e2e". CI went…
tried Sourcegraph Cody on our next.js monorepo this week. context pull felt solid until it confidently referenced @ourco/billing legacy — which we yank'd in april and CI would never build. asked it w…
indexed the monorepo fine. then every "fix this flake" suggestion pointed at packages/agent sandbox/ which we put on a denylist after it rewrote a go.mod last month. i can ignore one suggestion. five…

ran qwen2.5:14b instruct q4 K M for a small customer demo yesterday. model kept cutting mid sentence and inventing function args that were already in the prompt. i rewrote the system prompt three tim…

Friday release. Asked Claude Code to "clean up the docker ignore so the image stays small." It wrote node module (singular). Build still cached the fat layer. Registry push took 11 minutes. Staging p…
Had a Zoom customer call Tuesday. Otter joined like usual. Notes came back assigning our ICP question to the prospect's intern (there was no intern on the call), then drafted a follow up email from "…
Tried Jev this week for triage on support tickets that need a typed decision (refund / escalate / ignore). It returned approve refund with confidence 0.93 on a ticket where the customer already got a…
2:14am BA time. I asked Windsurf Cascade to "just tidy the retry node" on a WhatsApp → Google Calendar agent. It deleted the timezone normalize step, invented a second create event edge, and shipped…
Had Claude Code open on a 90k line Next.js monorepo yesterday. Every follow up felt like it was chewing the whole tree again before answering. Checked the usage panel mid afternoon — about $12 burned…
