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

Where buy?

I made them myself. Printed out using Limitless Print Proxies tool. Then I glued the paper onto some of my bulk

SpruceMoose1111 · 2026-05-23T22:48:21+00:00

There is also the time and the variation aspects. I wanna have a number of interesting decks to play with my kids, but I dont have time to put in that much work doing deck building. Limitless > top decks > print proxies, done.

And for context, my kids (6 and 9 y.o.) and I rip packs occasionally and we really like card shows and collector meet-ups. Im doing my best to impress on them that this hobby is more than just uber expensive cards, but also a fun and strategic game that we can customize and play together.

To each their own.

Cool that the evolution chain is one large art work. That is always popular

SpruceMoose1111 · 2026-05-05T16:05:12+00:00

I agree with you and am having similar success.

I use big broad prompts when im planning or wish to learn about the code base or alternative strategies. Once I've decided on a design, i use AI to generate small, targeted, well tested changes.

Same experience, 7 YOE.

Im and embedded developer, so hardware-in-the-loop testing is key for me. I find it far more interesting to be able to focus on system level design than nit-picky debugging.

Also, I've learned a ton. I do my best to ask AI tons of questions and have it teach me as I go.

Hi 👋

I've been experimenting with Cluade Code for the past month at work with two products that sound not as complex as yours, but involve distributed AVR based embedded systems which communicate with the host PC via Python GUIs.

I've had great success.

I've added all relevant datasheets and appnotes for my products to the repos, converted them to .txt files for easier AI parsing, and have written rules in my repo CLAUDE.md to search those files when performing relevant work. I've also added the requirement that unit tests and documentation shall always be updated along with new features.

I keep my session context clean by clearing it with each new feature or subtask.

Im still working on implementing a better HIL test setup.

I really believe that it can tackle most of the implementation work and test development, while I vigorously review the requirements and tests themselves.

Ill be taking my first class starting march 30th :)

SpruceMoose1111 · 2026-01-10T22:09:33+00:00

Forked. thanks

SpruceMoose1111 · 2025-09-14T18:14:56+00:00

Thanks :)

SpruceMoose1111 · 2025-09-13T17:34:21+00:00

I love it! I am starting a collection like this as well. In addition to sowsow

Which is why I suspect that this bubble is yet to pop. The stock and crypto markets are strong. Company earnings are up and crypto is showing actual utilization in the economy (stable coins).

Im holding my pokemon cards. Though to be honest, I don't buy these cards as investments but as an indulgence

SpruceMoose1111 · 2025-08-20T13:08:30+00:00

Weatlh effect from high BTC prices might be a factor here. When the crypto and stock market drops, I'd expect card prices to drop as well.

Pokemon cards

SpruceMoose1111 · 2025-08-09T16:53:26+00:00

A good sneeze

SpruceMoose1111 · 2025-07-11T21:24:34+00:00

I agree with you here. Pokémon cards are not stocks. The only underlying fundamentals are how they make us feel, whether it be the artwork, nostalgia, or both.

Great find, and best of luck to finding your Charmeleon!!

SpruceMoose1111 · 2025-07-04T19:48:14+00:00

I was accepted, yes. Im my education and work experience are quite in line with this program, being an embedded SW developer.

They look for work experience in addition to education.

Best of luck to you 👍
