when it rains we ship
Raincouver is going off and I’ve carved out a few days to get my to-do list checked off. Let’s gooo
This morning I built attempted to build a mini tool that scrapes various web pages, reports back fonts, takes screenshots, and produces those results into a single page. Something I was expecting to crank out within 30-45 minutes turned into a 2.5 hour adventure where I eventually trashed the project.
Two minor frustrations:
- HTML files produced by app kept crashing Claude. Regardless of working in Cowork, Command Prompt, or the web based version it would time out and run out of context. It’s very peculiar bc the HTML page rendered properly within Safari and Chrome but Claude just wasn’t having any part of it.
- Hallucination. It flat out lied, ignored instructions, told me it scraped fresh content when it leveraged previous data.
These are all part of the learning process, right? AI build reps!
What else?
- published v1 blog post draft The Plus Exchange
- learning more on ai harnesses and chunking
- had an agent review 150 designer applications
- hoping to ship a mini app tonight
Happy friday
