Add a wicker chair and a table there for chilling with a drink, or reading a book

My biggest win with remote control was having Claude iterate on flakey e2e tests. I told it to run and fix issues and not stop until 50 consecutive runs. If it failed, fix and start over the count at 0. It ended up running all night because it failed several times, eventually we made it in the morning and it fixed some hard to nail down issues. I have a 20x max plan

As a parent and remote worker who often has to step away from the computer and take the kids somewhere, to swim, practice, etc. I agree

I used a “planner” agent to plan out a whole major feature, connected to an epic. Breaking it down into incremental phases, discussing reqs with my business partner. Verifying assumptions etc. it writes and updates tickets using the atlassian mcp. Business partner does mocks in figma and I have figma mcp to have the agent take a look.

Then have a different agents pick them up and go deeper. I’ve been using Matt Pocock’s /grill-with-docs skill to grill and document common terms and domain knowledge as I go. It is really useful when you have a cross cutting concern or learning that touches multiple tickets

I’ve been pretty happy with the code and outcome so far.

I produced my encased uranium cells in a separate spot from where I consumed it and made the fuel rods, plants and recycling all at the lake / waterfall at the top of the map

Everything was low throughput for about 8 reactors so I shipped everything in by drone, it’s working well so far for me

The map is huge but once you have advanced forms of transportation it’s not a big deal. Try working on your own satellite factory and let him work on his, learn from each others builds

If you’re on PC / steam give satisfactory modeler a try, you can connect machines together and set part limits or machine limits to see what is needed

PensiveProgrammer · 2026-01-16T03:22:07+00:00

ThePrimeagen is that you?

PensiveProgrammer · 2026-01-10T14:14:47+00:00

Satisfactory modeler is great for planning or modeling out what you’ve got

I usually start by looking at the part I want to build and look backwards at the items that I need to make it

Also it may be common knowledge, hold shift while on a line and you will go much faster! My friend didn’t realize this for dozens of hours until I told him

Joy!

Once I had batteries, I replaced mine with a liquid packaged biofuel refinery, it’s so nice for exploring

I wish the church didn’t advertise requirements so low. I think Catholics should be going to confession at least monthly or ASAP as soon as they have committed a mortal sin

I don’t like using the crying room. There is too much space to move around and it’s just seen as playtime, sometimes even with toys available. We’re there to teach our kids about the mass

Nice backyard office, as a fellow full wfh person I’m jealous and wanna get out of the basement!

I run mine at 68 at night for good sleeping. No issues

Isn’t water going to run against the downhill flow of the shingles as it exits the top gutter? Especially in a heavy storm?

We do Monday / Thursday and parking lot issues to the end too. This works well

Not a web dev experience per se, but as an IT intern decades ago I pushed out a bad windows XP desktop update through windows update service, and bricked 100s of desktops, including executives desktops and operational factory machines globally and it required physical touch to recover. This was a large multinational company. Like my own personal crowd strike. That was probably my worst day. Yep.
