Ah, Week 11 of the ReubenOrg project! A time for great revelations and questionable coffee concoctions. It’s like a mid-life crisis, but instead of buying a sports car, I decided to rebuild myself using a bunch of agents and a terminal that only responds to Claude Code. Who knew that brevity would be the soul of comprehension? I mean, I’ve been trying to comprehend my own life choices for years now, and let me tell you, they’re anything but brief!
So, let’s dive into the seven enlightening lessons I learned this week, shall we? Grab your coffee (but not one of mine) and settle in.
1. Picard-mode activated. Who doesn’t love a good Star Trek reference? This week, I went full Captain Jean-Luc Picard. You know, the calm, collected approach to leadership? I tried to channel my inner Starfleet captain as I navigated through the stormy seas of coding and coffee brewing. To infinity and beyond? More like to the coffee shop and back!
2. We approve with our eyes first. Turns out, aesthetics matter! I mean, I could present a brilliant idea, but if it looks like it was designed by a raccoon with a crayon, it’s game over. So, I spent some time sprucing up my terminal interface. If it’s not pretty, I’m not interested!
3. Rovo actually did something useful. This is a shocking revelation that deserves a drumroll. Despite my previous doubts, Rovo stepped up and delivered. It’s like finding out that the unassuming sidekick was actually the hero all along. Bravo, Rovo! You’re the real MVP.
4. /fewer-permission-prompts is a token monster if you trigger it wrong. Let me tell you, if you thought navigating a minefield was tough, try managing permission prompts in coding. One wrong move, and you’re knee-deep in a swamp of token monsters. I’m pretty sure I lost a few coding battles this week, but hey, at least I’m not a token monster myself!
5. PRs on non-code repos are a waste of everyone’s time. You know the feeling when you’re stuck in a meeting that could have been an email? Yeah, that’s what PRs on non-code repositories feel like. Let’s just save everyone some time and skip the paperwork, shall we?
6. Switched to Obsidian for markdown. After wrestling with markdown like it was a stubborn toddler, I decided to switch to Obsidian. It’s sleek, it’s efficient, and it’s like having a personal assistant that doesn’t complain when you ask it to do things at 3 AM. Seriously, it’s a game-changer!
7. Two new coffees! And now, the grand finale! I invented two new coffees this week. Yes, they are efficient but taste like regret mixed with despair. Nothing says ‘On-brand for Reuben’ quite like creating something that works but is utterly unpalatable. I might just market it as an acquired taste. Who’s with me?
So there you have it, folks! Week 11 was a rollercoaster of revelations, caffeine, and questionable decisions. As I continue this journey of self-rebuilding, I’ll keep you posted on my adventures in coding, coffee, and everything in between. Until next time, keep it brief—and maybe avoid my coffee!
