last night I built a calorie tracking app, fully automated whilst I was asleep... all of these commits you can see here were on autopilot. I first spent an hour creating a large spec list/plan, split into phases and individual tasks. Kept asking Opus 4.5 to see if there's anything it's unsure of. nailed down the architecture (Bun, Nativewind, MySQL, EffectTS, TanStack Query/Mutate, Barcode Scanner API, Nutrition API details), and the schema. then I built my own version of the Ralph Wiggum bot, which is basically a .md file with a list of commands the AI can use to track task status, latest context, and a loop to keep resetting the context window on task completion. when I woke up in the morning the app was fully working and all tasks were complete. there's also 479 tests across 17 files. I don't know how to feel. This is insane. It works.

Claude Code tip: create an agent that specialises in code review and security. Then add a new memory entry with a nickname for it so you can call it anytime. My code review and security agent is called Big Tony.

for all of the doubters, I know it's annoying to see, but it works. it's a good foundation. a decent place to build from. fully typesafe monorepo with tRPC and Effect. can search through a large database of food, assign it to breakfast, lunch, dinner or as a snack. can set your daily calorie, protein, fat (etc) goals. the fact that this was 99% automated is quite incredible to be honest. I think a lot of people are misunderstanding me though. I didn't just say "build me a calorie app pls" and run claude in a loop, I first wrote a huge .md file, which was split into over 9 highly detailed phases and tasks. 3353 lines long in total by the end. if anyone is interested I don't mind doing a full walkthrough on something fresh.
