This season of The Traitors is so, so incredibly good. The level of gameplay this time around is top notch and the twists are very clever.
Also, I have to have this t-shirt.

I vaguely remember when window management on macOS just worked. Those were the days.

I thought Gemini 3 was pretty great, but I had no idea how good Claude Code is.
Gemini
- Pro: Free (through work), successfully used it to take a boilerplate Astro install and make it a fairly customised site.
- Con: Constantly disregarded standing instructions (and got all Marvin the Paranoid Android about it when called out). Made assumptions that were all too often not based in fact (example: this is an Astro project, therefore it uses Tailwind - even though GEMINI.md says it does not).
Claude
- Pro: Just gets it right. I spent a couple of hours on this minor redesign and at no point did I have to correct Claude or repeat an instruction to do (or not do) something. By the end I was just hitting yes on proposed code changes - I see how people feel comfortable enabling yolo mode.
- Con: Not free. That’s the whole list.
I should have done this sooner.
