I am still surprised how AI can take an image like, to extract the information from it and tell you what is wrong? And do it really fast. I uploaded 5 images, like the one attached and Claude extracted the information, in less than 5+ seconds and let me knew what was going on.
About Me.
I’ve worked in IT since 1993, starting as a PC enthusiast and growing into a hands-on IT professional. Over the years, I’ve shifted from hardware and troubleshooting into creating code. Now with AI, I’m able to turn ideas into web apps faster than ever—and I love building.
If I see that message one more time, I am going delete everything. I see that message all the time and only maybe once Claude was correct
Troubleshooting
The thing I realized after creating burntai.com with AlmaLinux, and troubleshooting weird issue, “well that should have worked?”, is always blame SELinxux.
This is such a good catch! 🕵️ SELinux is notorious for these “everything looks right but doesn’t work” scenarios. The fact that your file permissions are perfect but the API returns empty data despite the file having content is a classic SELinux symptom.
A Better Programmer
I wish I was a better programmer, this way AI can’t pull shit on me. I have caught it doing stupid stuff. I am still trying to sort out the issues from last night. Had an internal admin page where I can monitor the site, now broken. I should have reverted back to the checkpoint that i created before migrating the web app :(. But I stuck it out, trying to get the admin page to work again.
Freaking Claude!
So I setup an upgraded version of AI Personality Shift, a neat little web app that changes with different words:
Got it working in dev, it was a pain but not a big deal. Setup a new chat because I know Claude would have a message length issue. Setup the prompt, telling the specs of my setup, gave it all the files. Claude can up with a bullet proof migration plan. It created 5 migration scripts to backup, migrate, replace and test. Ran all the scripts, said everything was working. Couldn’t connect to burnati.com. It trashed the site. It stripped SSL out of the nginx configuration for the web server. Three hours later, went through two chats, now its fixed. The site runs on AlmaLinux 10 a Hyper-V VM, I took a checkpoint before all this, I could have reverted but I wanted Claude to fix it.
AI absolutely can get it wrong, presuming things (I gave it the nginx config file, that it stripped out 443?), but without it I couldn’t do what I have done so far with burntai.com.
Again!
Right in the middle of implementing a new feature, just when I got it trained, it knew exactly what needed to be down, now I need to retrain the next chat :(.
Claude Greetings
I love Claude! I love the prompt when I go to claude.ai
I have been really getting in to building with Claude, like spending most of my waking hours coding with it.
The different greetings it gives you. I don’t have an image of all them, but I will.
“Jeff Returns” “Back at Again”
Addicted to AI
I have a binge thing with coding alongside AI — time stands still, days blur together. I swore it was Wednesday, but… nope, it’s Thursday.
I create dreams and ideas, and then I actually create them. To be able to type a single sentence and have it turn into a working game? WTF. I built an entire website that I think is pretty damn cool.
It gives me an endorphin rush like a video game, but 100 times stronger — because I’m not just playing, I’m making. I can say, “Build a video game with these specs,” and it happens. I can chat with AI to design a web app or troubleshoot an error, and the thing actually comes to life.
This isn’t just code. It’s creativity on demand. And I can’t get enough.
