Replying to @TeslaSI
@teslasi @aelluswamy @TeslaAUNZ Loving FSD v14.3.9 on my Model Y L in Sydney. One thing to tune for left-hand traffic: it tracks well right of lane centre and gets uncomfortably close to large oncoming vehicles. Centring or a slight left bias would feel much safer.

It's most noticeable on left-hand bends. Human drivers move left there to leave room for oncoming cars cutting the corner. FSD holds its right-of-centre line, so it ends up closest to oncoming traffic exactly where the risk is highest.

Thanks folks at @AnthropicAI for giving me a laugh using Claude Code this morning 🤣

AI does have a sense of humor.

In case you are wondering about the typos, that's Windows Voice Access butchering what I said...

I shared a prompt called the Principal Architect Review for vibe-coded apps. Since then I found two follow-up prompts that take the results even further. Here's the full workflow 👇 🧵 THREAD 🧵
I use AI to build dashboards, write code, draft strategies. But AI ships its first draft. And first drafts have blind spots. So I built a prompt that forces AI to tear apart its own work before I review it. Here's the exact prompt (copy it): 🧵 THREAD 🧵

3/ Why this works: Engineers optimise for correctness. UX experts optimise for feel. The first prompt switches perspective. The second one catches the AI adding complexity to "fix" things. Code that doesn't earn its place gets cut.

4/ The full workflow: Build it → Principal Architect review → The Mentor sprint → The Mentor's return Four passes. Each one catches what the last one missed.

My @openclaw agents frequently lost context and had no way to search across everything. Emails, Slack, Drive, other agents' conversations. All siloed. So I built Claw Recall, and just released v2.0.0. One searchable brain, updates in seconds, under $1/mo. Inspired by @natebjones's Open Brain. github.com/rodbland2021/claw…

10/ How to actually use it: >> Claude Code: Add the full prompt to your CLAUDE.md in your project root >> OpenClaw/Moltbot: Add it to your TOOLS.md or AGENTS.md >> ChatGPT: Paste into Custom Instructions or a Project's system prompt >> Any AI tool: Put it wherever your system prompt lives The key: it needs to persist across sessions.
