Pokémon Red's most brutal obstacle isn't a gym leader — it's a doorway that broke my AI

The map told them the exits were walls

Your CLAUDE.md is probably wrong, and here's how Anthropic's engineers actually structure theirs

Your file is probably doing more harm than good

VS code open on a MacBook
I stopped asking AI to build features and started asking it to remove code

It just kept saying yes, so I started saying no

One MCP, and I don't have to let cloud-based tools handle my files anymore

Cursor makes the same models work better.

Trust, but verify (and let the agents verify too)

My phone runs local LLMs faster than my gaming PC, and it's the setup I actually reach for every day

The PC wins on paper, but the phone wins in practice

Most people assume local AI requires expensive hardware, but my real-world test on integrated graphics tells a different story.

Opencode on mac
I ditched Claude Code for a local model and a cloud supervisor, and it's twice as fast

The cloud plans, Qwen does chores.

Tines 3B running on a MacBook M4 Pro, making a homelab dashboard
I finally found a vibe-coding tool I can trust with my home lab, and the AI never sees a single API key

Tines 3B is a fantastic platform for developers and vibe-coders alike, and its unique approach is the best I've seen yet.
