  • GPT has been quite hit and miss for me, but Claude is usually quite solid.

    It needs micromanaging, otherwise it will do bad design decisions and go off on unrelated side quests. When micromanaged it’ll get you to that MVP very fast.

    The trap is that you need to be able to find the errors it makes, or at least call them out immediately. Trying to have co-pilot fix it’s own mistakes is usually a neverending prompt-cycle.

    It can summarise big code bases fast, and find how things fit together a lot faster than me. It’s been very useful when being thrown in head first into a new project.




  • I had a 4G modem with a web interface many years ago. It was flaky and would often hang. I just had a raspberry pi on my network pinging some known address, if it failed for long enough it’d replay the commands to restart the web interface.

    If I’d have the same problem today I’d probably have home assistant power cycle the router with a smart plug.
