In 2018 I wrote about Your Version Number:

I think the version metaphor works. You are a different person in your 20s, 30s, 40s and so on. Your life changes in meaningful ways! MAJOR version! Each year we tend to think of new things and new goals, but we don’t break backwards compatibility. MINOR version! And I think most people try to make each day a bit better than the last. PATCH level!

I’ve had a shortcut that shows my version on my phone for the last year. And now I decided to make this a fun website!

Now available…

Your Version Number

Super simple single-page app that allows you to add one or more birthdays and see the version number. The magic here is all the data is held in the URL so you can bookmark, set as your homepage, or share with others. And sure it is fun seeing you and your friends daily versions, but it is even more fun with all the custom themes!

A fun little project made possible with Claude Code and I. 🤩

Prompt I gave Claude Code on a recent project.

I would like to iterate faster. I would like you to use the ANTHROPIC API key and ask Haiku to generate 20 questions for each agent persona that Jamie (me) would reasonably ask. Then run those questions to each agent and see how they respond. Adjust based on that and keep iterating until all 4 agents respond to the 20 questions okay. Make sense?

Worked well.

We are all into Noah Kahan, and Mazie is maybe infatuated with his music. We had a nice night on the couch with her back home and the incredible Out of Body documentary about his rise. It is incredible how quickly Kahan’s popularity exploded and the movie chronicles the journey.

Mazie is home from her semester abroad! 🥳

Tyler and I are at Fat Pants Brewing for the last-minute rescheduled Miami GP! Go Ferrari! Go Red Bull!
