Hey @grok, rank Claude, Codex, and Grok for real-world coding. Be brutally honest, even about yourself.

If we had Claude in 1998, part 3. I asked it to fix one bug. Feel free to steal this one, my name's on the desktop now 😄

If we had Claude in 1998. I asked it to free up some disk space. What's the worst thing you ever deleted from C:\WINDOWS?

A platformer for everyone who grew up with a Walkman 📼 It runs in the terminal. Everything is text. Should I keep building it? 🤔

Tomorrow: this C file is a cassette, and it plays in the terminal. Into AI agents, game dev or retro code? Let's connect 🤝

What if Winamp was on the iPhone? Swipe the EQ. Flick the playlist. MilkDrop on the drop. Windowshade mode goes straight into the Dynamic Island. It still really whips the llama's ass 🦙 Which app from 2000 would you bring back to your phone? Follow if you like weird things.

Every dev needs a rubber duck. Mine compiles 🦆 This C code is shaped like a duck and renders a 3D duck floating in your terminal. What should I turn into code next? 🤔

Happy Halloween 🎃 This C code is shaped like a pumpkin and renders a 3D pumpkin in your terminal. I'm 46 followers away from 500. I post about software engineering, game dev, iOS, and AI agents. Let's connect 🤝

Let's connect 👋 Reply with the first language you ever wrote code in 👇 I'll go first: QuickBASIC. Now mostly Swift, but I do some TypeScript, Kotlin and Zig for fun.

In 2015, I had an interesting task: build a crossword game. The UI was easy. The hard part was the grid: fit 20 words so every crossing shares a letter. I ran my old Swift generator again. 11 years later, I found a word it can never place 👇 #gamedev #iOSDev #Swift

How it works: 1. Sort the words, longest first 2. Try every spot where the next word shares a letter with the grid (red = doesn't fit) 3. Score each spot by its crossings; take the best 4. Repeat 30 times; keep the grid with the most words Code: github.com/maximbilan/iOS-Cr…

The word is SYNCOPATION, from my own README. It's always 2nd in line, and the 1st word always lands on the 2nd row, so SYNCOPATION can only cross it with S or Y. PUMPERNICKEL has neither. I'm bringing my old code back to life, one post at a time. Follow for the next one.
