I’m far from a coder. I’m a writer and podcaster. But in 2 days and three sessions I used Claude Code (with Claude in a window next to it) to build a YouTube scraper. Probably as basic as it gets but I’m proud 🥹
Also, hearing both the Governor and Mayor warn New Yorkers to be cautious when shoveling snow because it can cause heart attacks 😂 Hochul even gave a demonstration.
Should've warned against throwing out your back, which I have done.
I know there are days when it feels like we're living in a dystopian hellhole but when the NYC Department of Sanitation calls their system for tracking snowplows, salt spreaders, and brining behicles Bladerunner, I kinda have to smile. 😆
I've been posting new music I've been adding to my writer's playlist which is most of my day, but I woke up with A$AP Rocky's PUNK ROCKY looping in my head this morning? Watched the SNL performance once and it gave me FEAR vibes.
I've watched an enormous amount of movies (20) since the beginning of December and read three novels. I'm between my next fiction or non-fiction project and juggling clients and the pod. Not looking for inspiration, because that happens when you're on the page but just enjoying a lot of input.
Just saw NO OTHER CHOICE and Wow! I was completely blown away. The storytelling, pacing, cinematography, music, and surprises were all perfect. I'm sure it's gotten comparisons to PARASITE but I wouldn't be so quick to compare them except for both are by fantastic Korean directors.
