Thanks for the honesty.

It's impossible to tell if this is AI or not. Another version of Poe's law. The only thing to do is assume everything is AI, just like you must assume all posts have ulterior (generalluy profit-driven) motives, all posters have a conflict of interest, etc.

Maybe the only thing to do is stop trying to understand posters' motivations, stop reading things charitably, stop responding, just look for things that are interesting (and be sure to check sources).

Sorry to have missed this. First, props that Blink is indeed superior in that it actually works.

My recollection is that the primary way Termius "feels better" is the pre-terminal UI (configuring hosts, etc).

But I'm still a daily Blink user, so I don't 100% recall what Termius did to make me think it was nicer, I just remember that scrolling was fucked so I gave up on it.

If I tell Claude to "revert that last change, it isn't right, try this instead" and Claude hasn't committed recently it will happily `git checkout ...` and blow away all recent changes instead of reverting the "last change".

(Which, it's not wrong or anything -- I did say "revert that change" -- it's just annoying. And telling `CLAUDE.md` to commit more often doesn't work consistently, because Claude is a dummy sometimes).

Can you share that part of your prompt? Initial attempts are failing for me, but that would be a great outcome.

so I’ve been resistant to putting down roots

Question about this. My partner is similar -- if we aren't going to be somewhere "forever" they are hesitant to do any "work" to socialize etc. because "we are leaving soon". In what ways do you perceive "putting down roots" as somehow unappealing if you don't know how long you'll be there?

(I almost said "how long you'll be around" -- but none of us know that, so really the question is even more pointed!)
