MacBook m1/m2 also are cheap enough now vs an Mac mini which I was surprised about, not too surprised but yeah..
Never really get good answers. There is no killer app. Just bikeshedding.
Why would I need an LLM to do this for me? That’s 5 minutes of work max, and doing it gets me in the flow of work again, to see what’s going on and needs to be done.
For the folks I talk to who use a LLM for this that seems to be the case. Takes a huge cognitive load off every morning and saves them an hour or two.
More or less a very expensive band aid over a bad work environment.
I kinda use it the same way in a sense. I have a little skill I run against our (horrible) task management system to summarize things and give me a punchlist to work through sorted by priority. This saves me thousands of clicks to do the same thing in the horrible web UI. A proper system in the first place would be a lot better!
At some point I’ll probably just take that to the next logical step and have the LLM write my own web interface to abstract and replace the horrible one entirely for me.
Please help: I wánt to need this!
- Fuzzing with the goal for it to apply domain-specific and source-informed knowledge to choose specific fuzzing approaches.
- More generally, any optimization problem that benefits from domain-specific or source informed knowledge.
- Running Microsoft's SkillOpt [0].
I think I'm gonna be a late adopter on this one until the industry figures out a less cumbersome pricing model.
Like I want the LLM to have a bank account and he can do ANYTHING with that bank account that he wants. But he can't fuck anything up that has to so with me. He only has 2 - 5k

I’m actually very time-poor, so figured it could help be clawed back time doing… what exactly?
- scanning logs for errors and
- opening issues which are then auto-triaged and
- PRs are opened for them and auto-reviewed and
- merged (and deployed).
This workflow alone is immensely powerful, and takes alot of burden off the team.
ITSM those unsupervised workflows are essentially an attempt at purported productivity in the near term at the expense of meaningful incremental long term burden for teams.
The only ostensible benefit is in the eyes of the AI-psychotic tinkerer, who knows no better, or in those of the clout-chasing developer farming likes on their LinkedIn posts.
There's lots of news about the billions AI companies spend on data center construction, but it feels like it's not even a fraction of the money they're spending on endless nonstop blogs about how great their app is at doing... things. Things that will never be defined.
Maybe I should have the agent also do a background check.
PS: This is a joke, but feel free to steal this idea.
Then the openclaw WhatsApp module…
Kidding of course.
Here is a real use case: you are are responsible for some alerting channel. You have datadog/ cloud logging/ github all connected. You see a bunch of alerts come through while you are out and about and you prompt CC to investigate - Claude triages and says “all of the sudden you are getting time outs from this bank API your company partners with, this started an hour ago. It’s happening on ~15% of requests”. So you ping the guy at your company who does vendor relationships and go back to your weekend.
This is a non hypothetical example. Obviously it would be better if your job had a real on call rotation and more robust alerting and you wouldn’t be getting slack alerts on the weekend… but I take the approach this job affords me a lot of nice flexibility so it’s ok

Running a helper from the terminal, making Claude work in a working directory, and then create a .commit file has been my workaround for this for a while now.
Imagine there's a better solution nowadays, but this allows me to use dispatch building on Vercel, so I can check it out from wherever, without too much pain.

I’d love to just have Claude use my machine as a sandbox host instead of having to run RC on each host session. (In case you are listening Boris ;) ).
In the meantime I have a janky master RC session that creates new tmux windows and Claude RC sessions for each new code trajectory that I want to run.
The other benefit here is you can drop down and use termux to use Code directly if you hit a RC bug, I found permissions UX to be a bit flaky in the iOS UI.
