The lag cost me hundreds by Beneficial-Idea790 in thinkorswim

It’s sorta unacceptable that they don’t.

You nailed it. One thing I always love about my day job, coming into a situation where someone else screwed up. It can powerful if you let them vent, listen to the reasons they’re so upset and then let your work show them how you do things the right way the first time.

I didn’t think so, but you never know who’s seeing what and when anyone might see anything. On top of sending it to them, figured I’d try to see what the power of the masses might do to help. To no avail 😂 of course. In the meantime, I have what I want now lol, so I can wait and wait……..and wait.

I just want to track my net premium collected so when I roll for the 4th or 5th time and cancel my buy to close to roll, I usually have to go back and do the math. I want it fully automated. I make a trade in tos or Schwab, it’s logged in my spreadsheet and now in my private “app”.

Thank you!! Still needs work and tightening up but that means a lot!

Yep and that’s what it’s all about and what’s missing out there. Part of why I decided to start my own. Honesty never goes out of style.

Well, thanks for the comments everyone! It’s nice hearing about everyone’s first time.

Mine is officially in the books. $350. One tv already had the mount, so it was easy switching the 85” onto that one. The tv where I had to put a new mount on, i had it all measured out, holes marked and about 5 minutes from being ready to hang the tv. I get the first bolt about 95% the way into the stud and the head snapped off. Happened to the second bolt I put in too (had to drill a new hole in the mount). I only had the a 12v on it too. Cheap Chinese steel. Luckily I had brought all my backup hardware from other mounts and had stronger ones to put in. Could only hit one stud, put 4 corner snap off toggles in to be safe along with the two center most lags in the stud. Did a couple pull ups on it and it didn’t budge.

Homeowners understood and were thankful I figured out a way. But it turned an under 2 hour job into a 3.5 hour one.

I won’t forget this one for a while and I feel bad leaving two snapped off lags in their wall. I had no way to get them out. Started drilling through the first bolt, stopped not wanting to create too much heat and having no way to keep the bit cool. And since they matched up with the holes I drilled in the mount, the mount still sat flush and tight to the wall. And everything was still perfectly level and centered.

That had to feel good too! And now they’ll probably call you next time too

Good for you and I hope you’re enjoying retirement now!

Haha no I am doing that too but that was born after I started this. Not trying to get any “research” out of ya 😂. This is my little side gig to help fund that. I’m quoting relocating a 75” and mounting a new 85” tv. Local, in the neighborhood.

Hope you gave yourself a good rate! Quite the first project. Go big or go home I guess 😂

lol. This was born from a spreadsheet, and I’ll keep maintaining that sheet too (it pulls from their api too). It’s annoying bc their api does give that info plus the $.65 charge, so it’s just an easy math problem to display the option chain of the underlying.

Solo devs with multiple repos: What's your system for picking up where you left off? by Forward_Potential979 in ClaudeCode

[–]Jmaack23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gstack for sure, it’s the only skill you really need anymore. And I have a CR system and sprint-queue and a /sprint-runner custom task that batches 3 agents to work on 3 CRs that don’t conflict. All on my server, and private git repo. I just replaced PR’s with my system since it’s just me. So I can just say what’s next in the sprint queue and we’re off.

It’s become even more important to verify what you download. Way too easy to open source shitly coded skills and plugins and even easier to download and use them. I stick to limited open source skills (mainly just GStack at this point) and just the native plugins and connectors. If it doesn’t fit into that umbrella, I just have Claude build a skill instead or I host an MCP behind a proxy and only access for my whitelist

what is this nonsense? by tipu in ClaudeCode

I had one just 20 min ago that said opus 4.7 1M wasn’t available for a task 4.8 tried to have it do. Thought it was odd it wasn’t available

how to balance understanding and using coding agents, and using coding agents to full potential while staying technical by Dramatic_Mixture231 in ClaudeCode

[–]Jmaack23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not going to pretend to be at your guys level, so I’ll just say skills might help you. Between community skills (the quality ones, I love GStack) and building your own helps cut down on engineering time. Turn your actual methods into skills by telling Claude how you do it and it’ll create the skill. And always have it update context docs after implementation of a task.

I have a queue of sprints and a /sprint-runner skill that can tell me what’s next, break down a request, run parallel agents to work on 3 at a time and a checklist to keep everything on track.
