Most underrated way to use AI is to speak to it for 40 minutes and end with:

Have been giving Orca a try the past few days: https://www.onorca.dev/ Have tried so many ways of working in the last few years. Nothing has quite lasted. But I'm feeling pretty good about Orca so far!

OrcaOrca — The agent development environmentOrca is the Agent Development Environment (ADE) for shipping with coding agents. Run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor CLI, and every other CLI agent in parallel across isolated worktrees. Get work done dramatically faster than any IDE. New features shipped every day.

Having spent months migrating a service from PHP to C#, I'm finally back working fully in PHP. I like many other languages, but PHP is still my favourite.

I could have, and perhaps should have, used AI to create this video thumbnail. It would have saved me a lot of time. And probably looked a lot better. But I still love pouring time into something just for the sake of enjoying the process and learning stuff.

Spend the extra hour in bed, or... rebuild my entire video production workflow? Maybe I should have stayed in bed.

If were not careful, every conversation with AI can turn into a game of Wheres Wally. The more we add to a context window, the harder it can get for a model to find the stuff that really matters. In my new video, I use a popular game to explain 'lost in the middle', 'context…
