Hey guys, I know it's been a while.. In this age of agents, self-hosting, and remote everything remote shells are hard to read on a phone. So I built Shellvana, an SSH client that reflows output into text you can actually read. Free on iOS and Android. shellvana.com

#Vibecode is never a straight line. It's a forest. And like a forest, it's easy to lose your way... To get lost... To forget where you came in…

Worst packaging / shipping of harddrive ever @amazon. A delicate server grade harddrive shipped in a clear ziplock bag with absolutely NO padding of ANY KIND. The result speaks for itself. 1/2

Chatted @amazon CSR about this, got the most robotic response from them. Not sure if I was even talking to a human or some AI. Definitely NOT happy with @amazon lately.. this is the 2nd time this has happened.
