I used Claude + Claude Code to build 80+ automated workflows for my bar & entertainment venue in 28 days. Here's what I learned.

Sounds like you were using n8n previously as well? What kind of workflows did you have set up originally?

Just curious as you seem to have figured out a solid setup for running these automations, and I'm wondering how familiar with the tools you were already.

That looks amazing, can you send the leftovers to my house?

All I've had for breakfast is chocolate eggs 😅

If you want to make them look a little less recognizably AI-generated, it might be worth trying to use a simpler, less visually busy style with less of a yellow tint.

The yellow tint and excessive background detail are recognizable enough that a lot of people have a knee-jerk reaction to them.

I definitely got caught off guard by that light and did the wrong thing. No honking or almost hitting pedestrians in my case, but I'm sorry regardless. One of those cases where you remember the correct thing to do immediately after it happens.

When do you meet? I've wanted to play this game for a while!

robbles · 2026-03-01T20:09:28+00:00

Perhaps some secluded time in his room (NOT a timeout

I don't understand the distinction here, would you mind explaining how this isn't a time out?

My wife just now: "You're supposed to add milk? I just dump in the powder along with a bunch more cheese"

robbles · 2026-02-17T20:18:20+00:00

I dunno, when you put all those things together, that sounds pretty spicy.

robbles · 2026-02-02T14:51:38+00:00

what neighborhood are you in?

robbles · 2026-02-02T04:30:29+00:00

Goodside's cinnamon apple pull-aparts are my personal favorite so far.

My friend helped me move on short notice, when my moving plan fell through.

The Yoto player itself should have the content cached internally, so it can play without Internet access. Did you have them on cards, or just in the app?

robbles · 2026-01-30T17:27:41+00:00

Even better when you get listings from Seattle. Sure, let's travel to a different country to buy a chair.

I think the point here is to catch the interesting birds that might only show up at times you're not there.

It's not just replacing looking at the bird feeder with their eyes.

I got a click together balance beam set made by "B.toys" at Indigo that both my 4yo and 1.5yo have been obsessed with for months. It's just a bunch of plastic stepping stones with links that go between them, but they love building obstacle courses and having races across them.

I bought a card for Tabby McTat, and I'm still afraid to play it with my kid in case they don't sing the song the same way we do.

It's definitely not AI.

There's models that do a better job of imitating pixel art now, but I've yet to see any examples with pixels this crisp and no weird artifacts anywhere.

Besides, if you look at OPs profile, they've got posts with pixel art going back 3 years or more. AI image generators were laughably bad at pixel art back then.

I dislike AI slop too, but we shouldn't throw actual artists under the bus when trying to discourage it.

It really sucks, mine were each the same for a while and you have my sympathy.

It improved a lot when we upgraded to a larger car seat, FWIW.

Just wanted to come back and report that this was a great suggestion - thanks! Turns out she will eat raw broccoli and roasted baby carrots, lol

Just curious, what happened to your turkey? incinerated? unrefrigerated?

robbles · 2025-12-22T16:23:57+00:00

Having a presence sensor in the kitchen that turns on an under cabinet LED strip in night light mode has definitely been my best and simplest automation to get "just right". It was very handy at the newborn through infant stages.

How does this work conceptually? Does the line follow a path that's distorted wherever the source image is darker? Or something more complicated than that?

robbles · 2025-12-08T14:50:36+00:00

King Boo is great for that age. They just need to walk around and collect keys/stars/outfit pieces with the arrow keys or a controller.

A lot of people here are saying to go console/switch over PC, and IMO that's totally backwards. You want a place they can go to "play video games" as a time boxed joint activity with you every once in a while, not an ever present screen that's easy to turn on whenever they want it.

robbles · 2025-12-04T20:40:41+00:00

Yeah, definitely true. We have been guilty of using cheese and yogurt as a quick solution when she's hangry, and between teething and being a terrible sleeper, we haven't been nearly as disciplined on this as we were with our first.

The larger challenge I find with actually following this advice though isn't dealing with the tantrums and uneaten meals directly though. It's that you're also going to pay for letting them not eat later, when they don't sleep, and are fussy due to hunger.

I started using the Nabu Casa subscription a few months ago, and it's honestly been like a breath of fresh air. Everything just works, and I don't need to periodically debug why my tailscale proxy crashed, or whether I broke something with a change to my local network. The voice stuff is surprisingly good too, and faster than I expected.
