not that I have been thinking about her.. its completely random.. happens maybe once in a year or two.. and it just takes me down completely for days..
found several opinions scattered on the web, most outdated, would like to know the latest as of August 2026.
For a large end to end task, I first asked Opus to generate a comprehensive step by step plan.
Now for executing these steps (i.e. the actual coding), can I use Haiku over Sonnet?
I know Sonnet already does it pretty good, but from purely token saving perspective, and if the plan is already laid down, can Haiku replace Sonnet in such a case?
Like when was the last time you sat somewhere with literally nothing to do and just... did nothing?
No phone, no youtube, no music, no scrolling.
I feel like even waiting 5 minutes for something now feels unbearable lol.
Kinda wonder if our brains are gonna look back at this era and be like "yeah that was probably not great"
I don't know if anyone else does this, but I kept opening Excel for stupidly small things.
I'd have some SQL results / tabular data copied from a source, and just want to know the sum or average of a column.
I'd open Excel, paste it, click the column, look at the number... and close Excel 😅
At some point I thought, why am I opening an entire spreadsheet application for this? So I built Table Workbench as part of DevToolsCave.
Basically you paste a table, select a column or some cells, and it gives you the quick stats — sum, avg, median, min/max, count, etc.
It also handles stuff like CSVs, SQL result output, Markdown tables, copied spreadsheet data, logs, etc.
The other thing I wanted was for the data to stay in the browser. No account, no upload, which feels important when you're dealing with SQL results or anything remotely sensitive.
It's definitely not trying to replace Excel. It's more like... I need the Excel status bar, not Excel.

Curious — what other things do you guys keep opening a huge app for when you really only need one tiny feature from it?
the annoying part about date formatting isnt any one language, its that they all use different systems entirely — strftime tokens (%Y), SimpleDateFormat letters (yyyy), and go's "just write the reference date" approach are three unrelated mental models for the same concept.
built it so you assemble the format visually instead of typing tokens — each field (year, month, day...) is a chip you drag into order, click to change its style, delete to drop it. behind the scenes it emits the equivalent string for every language at once, so you see them all side by side instead of context-switching cheatsheets. theres also a reverse mode — paste a date string, get the pattern back, mostly useful for logs/API payloads in a format you dont recognize.
part of a small dev tools site im building (devtoolscave.com), all client-side. figured this one earns its own post since i havent seen the drag-to-build + multi-language-at-once combo elsewhere.

if anyone's dealt with a format I havent covered (rust chrono? swift?) let me know.
Trying to build a world clock / timezone converter thats "different" from most out there, what do you think?
