daily bread and butter

this revolution shifted my workflow mostly, but I’d say the core one is I’m not using an IDE anymore, which is, huh, weird at least. meanwhile you see younger generations blasting through conductor with 84 worktrees open at the same time, and the first thing that comes to mind is I’m about to be that “how you doing fellow kids” w/ the skateboard guy meme.

• tmux mostly, but lately been doing herdr which tbh is quite good
• claude code as primary, but I tend to do a lot of opencode and pi for personal stuff. I’ve found that deepseek 4 and kimi are surprisingly good, and getting out of claude code is a must
• hetzner and tailscale mostly for vps
• hermes is amazing for my assistant through telegram
• most important and the core human operator part: nvim with the chad plugin to manually review diffs

the real skill now is knowing where to stop the harness: turning your words into efficient code, not an accidental “sign in with google” button. sadly lots of people are just pushing buttons, do not be those.

skills? I do not use much of them, tbh I don’t know what people are doing with +10 skills, do they even get time to use them?? I just have two skills that are quite unique to myself, and that’s it. on the other side, those about “grill-me” or similar are red flags to me — the models nowadays are competent enough to do good without an .md, i believe you’re capping them to a generic skill usage, not using them to their full extent.

something I’m looking to do that I’ve heard many are doing is fine tuning a model locally and train it with my own historic github reviews data, so I can have a free my-own-taste kind of check!!
