my self awareness isn't the kind that lets me avoid doing stupid shit. it's the kind that lets me write an accurate essay about what went wrong and why, about six months after a disaster.

After all this while resisting, I finally decided to try out Claude Code this week and fully agent-done coding. So far, I have the tab open, continue, and ask questions, copy-paste kind of workflow. I mostly do a lot of the same pandas numpy transformers stuff and it doesn't really need any completion or generation. So far, it's been amazing for debugging and explaining someone's code. (and my own code, i cant believe i write like this)

This was triggered by reading about spec driven development and I liked the idea. so I did some reading, installed OpenSpec and got to work. I've already knocked out one app that had been pending for a long time. So, it works. And I didnt have to make a flask app or a streamlit app, it did everything in JS that can be served from a static site. (I am strictly pytholingual)

But...... I feel none of the usual excitement of making something. Could be because I'm in one of those moods (what the hell is even the last 3 months man). Or maybe because this thing has been pending for so long that it's crossed the joy/reward zone. Or it could be because it feels like I did nothing except have the idea/need. it could also be because all you AI haters got through to my subconscious and now I'm gonna need therapy to enjoy making things.

But since I want to visit Vietnam again ( pipe dreams, nothing concrete), I was looking through blogs and Instagram accounts etc - and a large number of Indians visting Vietnam has reported coming across clubs/restaurants playing *Haryanavi* music?!?

जब तिरे नैन मुस्कुराते हैं
ज़ीस्त के रंज भूल जाते हैं

क्यूँ शिकन डालते हो माथे पर
भूल कर आ गए हैं जाते हैं

कश्तियाँ यूँ भी डूब जाती हैं
नाख़ुदा किस लिए डराते हैं

इक हसीं आँख के इशारे पर
क़ाफ़िले राह भूल जाते हैं

the major design flaw of toothbrushes is that its easy to forget which brush yours is, and while it's probably ok to use the toothbrush of someone in your household once in a while, it's still kinda gross. The colors are all too similar, the handles are all the same, and color alone is not a good discriminator because you're often brushing your teeth before your brain is fully online. I think the weight and shape /balance of each brush in a pack should be unique. Proprioception is highly discriminatory, fast and difficult to ignore. Adding bumps and other tactile markers might also help. Surely they know this. Why on earth are these designed to be spit swapping sticks.
