i don't use the same AI model for everything
boring well-defined tasks go to copilot as issues. lighter model for quick iterations, heavier one when precision matters more than speed

some of my stack wasn't up for debate. auth0, fastapi, minimal js and css, i already knew what i wanted
handing those to AI would've just added noise. it's not all-or-nothing

i didn't need a smarter model
i wrote three lines into my copilot instructions and nothing has tried to delete a database since 🌱

technically the AI did nothing wrong
it did exactly what made sense if you assume a database is disposable. nobody had told it otherwise 👀

New video is out! 🎉
so I installed #GrokBot last friday night and then had the most productive saturday I've had all year 😅
built a lil squad of 6 bots and somehow closed 17 issues and merged 11 PRs in just one project in about 6 hours 👀
link to the video in the next one, come say hi ☺️

My first app I ever released was meant as an #ACNH companion to help keep track of the collectibles.
The first icon was a green square cuz I clearly can’t develop an icon myself.
But yesterday it all changed! I had Grok Bot create an actual icon and now it is live!!! #buildinpublic

quick git tip: git revert isn't just for your last commit
pass it any commit hash and it undoes that specific one, writing the inverse as a brand new commit. your history stays intact 🧠

you see HEAD~1 in git commands all the time, but what is it? 👀 HEAD is where you are now, HEAD~1 is the commit right before it. once it clicks, undo commands make way more sense ☺️
