tawman··on Clipboard Images in Claude Code CLI
Anyone using Claude Code CLI in a terminal has probably hit the friction of sharing an image with it to see a problem. I would have to take a screenshot, save it somewhere, get the file path, and tell Claude in the prompt to look at it.
tawman··on CLI agents make self-hosting on a home server easier and fun
I do the same thing on my Hostinger VPS with Claude even though I have been using Linux 30 years. Just removes the friction and time. I version control the DevOps with git, and even had Claude setup automated backups to my Google Drive via cron.

tawman··on Bank of America Giving Access to Random Accounts
Looks like BofA rolled out a new web site based on the UI changes from last month when I last used it. In addition to the new Random Accounts feature, it broke the ability to make mortgage payments "Error in mort-review-pmt-module-hemi-mpw-skin".
tawman··on I want to get into the startup industry, where do I start?
Since you plan on becoming an attorney, you could work with a law firm that specializes in helping the startup industry. You should reach out to Scott Edward Walker, @ScottEdWalker, at http://walkercorporatelaw.com/ and introduce yourself.

I follow him on twitter and he has a number informative videos on the net regarding startups and more. He also maintains a blog on his website.

If you started your law career helping startups then an opportunity to transition to the startup side might present itself. It is a simple matter of creating opportunities for yourself by positioning yourself strategically.

This company operates in the e-medical records space and works with hospitals, physicians, and other providers. It is more than just records management and deals with referrals for service along with analytical capabilities etc.

Hard space to penetrated but with a lot of federally funded initiatives the past few years. New regulations around EHR is driving the space.

I missed that link, but thanks for re-posting it here. The real life photos filled in the gaps of the pictures I visualized in my head while reading the story.

Very cool and I can relate as we all have an old computer case in closet somewhere.

tawman··on Why Software Projects Are Terrible And How Not To Fix Them
Technical debt is a major red flag especially in a savvy organization that realizes it's accumulating it. Especially if much of the early success relied on it.

I was talking with a prospective client that had spent the past three years rushing a SaaS solution to market. They even referenced the technical debt as an area they need help with overcoming as they move forward.

Second order change is difficult for any organization or established project, but remaining consistent with your message can drive the process in that direction. Sounds like a challenge for the two of you, but try to bring solutions / recommendations instead of minor resistance that might get misinterpreted. Not easy I know.
