Just had to send a wire to pay an invoice and it’s laughable how hard it is and how long I stood there. By the 15 min mark I was thinking that the longer I’m “in bitcoin” the angrier I get at our banking system. Okay, back to work. 😀👊 #bitcoin

I spent just 60 min last night having #claude Cowork and their Chrome extension do a data entry task. Note that everything I'm about to describe I could see on my screen and I wasn't doing anything...just watching. - Took a name from a google sheet - Went a website and looked up the name - and it knew what text box on the screen to put the name into (I had to have the tab for this site open) - If there were multiple entires for the name it found the right one - Took the three pieces of data from the name I wanted - Put the data in the sheet - but only after changing the data into the format I told it to - Moved on to the next name It took 2-4 min per name. There were 17 names. This takes a human less time, but not half as much. The big issue is that it times out after a few names. And essentially breaks. You might be thinking, "You could do this with Claude code. You don't want to use Cowork for this." I can't because you have to log into the site with the data - you can't scrape it. But Claude, after doing four of these said, "This is really time consuming - why don't we try to do this in Claude code." Today it's too slow to have it do the 1200 hours of work I'll need done this year - I'll have to outsource that - but no doubt in a few months it'll do it faster. I listened to a podcast with the developer at Claude who built Cowork - which they did in 10 days with Claude Code - and he said that while it's slow and clunky it's better than Claude Code was when it was released. I hope it doesn't get too fast too quickly as I'd like to have a moat in the new business with a data set my competitors don't have. But 12 months from now they'll have it. Not only does 2026 feel like a race, it clearly is a race. #ai #claude #vibecoding #wildtimes

Im a bit grumpy, and I’m trying to work at a hipster coffee shop. Either I’m too old to appreciate this place, or, and I think more likely, it’s got crappy coffee, bad music and poor service and does indeed suck. So I fed the @⚡Lightning Goats⚡ and it made me happy. 😀 Stay warm goats! 🐐

GM 😀👊☕️ It’s 11 degrees F and sunny and not a breath of wind. I dropped off my middle schooler at a birthday party at a - wait for it - outdoor ice skating rink 🤦😂 But I bet they’ll have fun. Thoughts are with everyone here who is dealing with the possible ice storm. Stay safe and warm. 🙏🏻 Have a great day. #coffeechain #plebchain

Wow! @Sat’s Oil is fantastic! Earthy and fresh. Unlike any olive oil I’ve ever had. I splurged on some nice balsamic vinegar, heated up some bread and the kids and I feasted. Alessandro has communicated so well to make this international transaction happen. And the package came with some goodies too 😉 #worththesats #v4v #circulareconomy #foodstr

GA 😀👊 Busiest work period of the year is done. I hosted a conference for 200 people and it ended yesterday. Great energy in the room and great speakers. But I’ll be taking 2027 off as the opportunity cost is high and it’s a lot of financial risk to put on the event. Long story short, great to be back here 😀 Enjoying some coffee before a workout and a meal with the kids. We’re playing a new game tonight called Azul. Also, the pen is a Uni-ball Signo Dx in case @Bfgreen is curious. I hope you’re having a good day! #coffeechain #plebchain #penstr
