"So going to Perplexity. Canute the Great was an early 11th century Danish ruler who became king of England, Denmark and Norway."

"And Pandora, I used a lot. Pandora is more prioritizing on the discovery part versus organization part. And that was really wonderful."

"And switch to Spotify. Switch to streaming, and basically, rebuild the stash of playlists and all this kind of stuff."

"I've never used Pro Tools. I've used REAPER, I've used Studio One, that's the most recent that I've used that."

"This is gonna be embarrassing. Yeah. I use BIAS FX. I'm sorry."

"I've never used Pro Tools. I've used REAPER, I've used Studio One, that's the most recent that I've used that."

"And for the most time I've used Ableton Live. I feel like I'm using 1% of the power of the tool."

"When I build simple CLIs, I like Go. I actually don't like Go. I don't like the syntax of Go. But the ecosystem is great, it works great with agents."

"In the last few years, many times I actually prefer Electron apps because they work and native apps often are lacking features."

"I now use, I think Perplexity or Brave as providers because Google really doesn't make it easy to use Google without Google."

"I have this wide Dell that's anti-glare and you can just fit a lot of terminals side-by-side."

"I pulled in all the data and then just asked him questions like, 'What makes this friendship meaningful?'"

"Why do I need my Eight Sleep app to control my bed when I can tell the agent to... The agent already knows where I am, so he can turn off what I don't use."

"I built some agentic browser use in there. And, I mean, it's basically Playwright with a bunch of extras to make it easier for agents."

"And I just typed, 'Convert this and this part to Zig,' and then let Codex run off"

"TypeScript is really good. Sometimes the types can get really confusing and the ecosystem is a jungle. So for web stuff it's good. I wouldn't build everything in it."

"If it's something where I care about performance a lot then it's a really interesting language. And agents got so much better over the last six months from not really good to totally valid choice."

"I use basically half-and-half Cursor and Claude Code, because they're fundamentally different experiences and both are useful."

"And somebody sent a pull request for Discord support"

"As a general purpose model, Opus is the best. For OpenClaw, Opus is extremely good in terms of role play."
