The only thing I dont like about my video editor is the name, which is still the wip one. Just my initals CR and editor 😅
Any suggestions?
Rumpelstiltskin
but good look with anyone knowing how to pronounce that
Things you love to hear 🙏
"I'll check this in the browser instead of guessing."
Haha, and things also
you were right I could check further instead of guessing 😜Wed, Nov 4
I have been renamed Demon, although, it is well known that Damien is the son of the devil. I keep reminding my father of that...
Started the day with a boulder session and brought my new photo frame and my climbing app. I still need to fix the power situation. Currently it uses a power bank, but the big display is amazing. Ping @wesbos 🙏

3 years ago, I joined a 10 person team to help build the best developer experience out there. Look at us now 😮
Laravel is a standard for ambitious builders, and I’m even more excited for the next 3 years and what’s coming 👀 (you are not ready)
Thank you @taylorotwell 🙏
Today, I needed captions for a new video. So I added them to my video editor. And even better, I added a button that checks the transcription and fixes 99% of errors.
This is so much fun. Personal software at its best and another subscription I can cancel. 💪
I've been doing exactly the same, reduced my cost by about $150 lol, pretty cool
I wish you a great start to this new week ☀️
Lets crush it at work, but also don't forget to spend enough time with your loved ones. There is only one week 45 in 2026, make it count 💪
What are you up to? I'm heavily working on some new videos for you.
I'm putting some time into researching LikeC4 as arch-as-code tool.
Contrary to my reply on timing of side-projects I have created a little one, LikeC4 Attributes for PHP with a Generator.

Me: Wait, you said you need 1h for this feature?
Agent: Sry, I meant you. Me just 5mins.
I’m constantly having to remind Claude how bad it is with time estimates and to stop including them in our brainstorming sessions
"That represents about a week of work"
"Do it now"
20mn later
"Here's what I done, all tests green"
One thing I love about working with agents is, that I am not afraid anymore of going all in.
I can work on a feature and try to make it perfect. Another round is just a prompt away, lets try to make it better. Throw it aways if it does not work.
This is the same way I am
Operating these days. Feels really good when you can put all what you have in mind in the working.
… is a big feature and not really in the scope of the current task, do you want me to create a new ticket for this?
Reply: no, just implement it 👍

Editing time ✂️
Luckily my video editor finds most edit himself so I have to do way less editing than in the past. Not perfect yet, but getting there 💪
Curious about what this is built on and the experience,I have wanted to build something on top of ffmpeg for some time but havent had the use case yet
And here we go again. ✌️
The bigger photo frame was even easier to override and now hosts my own climbing app and I can mount it in the basement next to my climbing wall.
I don’t know what’s cooler, the hacked photo frame or the fact you have a climbing wall in your basement
Is that a Frameo? I did one last week - one switch in the official install to switch on ADB, and away Claude goes. HA dashboard that returns to a photo frame when left alone for a bit.
Family google calendar, paprika shopping list, solar and battery status, A/C controls , and…

This is kind of addictive. After the 10 inch one I am now trying to get the 15 inch one overriden too ✌️
Last year I had to replace my Peloton Bike screen as it's touch input stopped working. For some reason I kept it... now I'm thinking I should turn it into a display for something! @wesbos really started a movement!
I have a 10inch Frameo I've done the same with and you're right it's super addiciting
I'm just trying to figure out a way to get my icloud library on it!
What is your preferred personal assistance these days?
On the work side I use Amp and Claude desktop, both amazing. But on the personal side I am still using OpenClaw for my wife and me and it does a bunch of nice things for us like family health tracking, finance, lots of lists…
I am coming to a point in my life and career, where I want to get good at one thing like I use to do before I became a software engineer. I have been using Grok Bot for a couple of months and working towards getting the ideal setup for me, my business, and some tiny parts of my…
I'm still on the fence about letting the robots take over so I keep it simple and just use ChatGPT. I call it Chappy so that my husband knows who I'm talking about.
I’ve been using Grok Bot and it’s nice, but dumber than Claude so I want to move to some Claude bot. I wish it existed. openclaw is too complex for me lol

Little working multi post prototype of mine. Currently, I still want to post some things on multiple platforms. But lets hope some day there will be only one, you can decide 😅
You can also do the reading part. It would be cool to see the same post only once regardless of how many platforms it was published on.
Once everything has settled around the new tools we as builders have available now, it will be about personal qualities again. ✌️
