Here's the thing: sometimes I forget the timer is running and I wake up to "You've been working on [project X] for 28 hours".

> I've also learned that if something is never on top of my mind it's because it's not worth doing, so it gets filtered away automatically.

I wish I could work that way! Sadly, I have client obligations that aren't always the most exciting thing I want to be working on. But they pay the bills.

I'm guessing you don't have ADHD, right?

Does there have to be a point? I had some feelings I wanted to share with the world.

> made me really anxious and input-oriented about my productivity

Yes, exactly! Even if I got a bunch done I'd still feel like I didn't accomplish anything if I had "wasted" too much time.

I don't disagree that that might help. But I think this is more of a realization that I want to use AI... less?
joemasilotti

Agreed! But to a point, sometimes time blocks suck away all of my creativity.

Android is on the roadmap! I'm figuring out the best API and DX first. Once that's solidified, Android will follow.

You still need to pay $99 to Apple (every year). Ruby Native doesn't replace your accounts, it just augments them.
joemasilotti

Yep! Ruby Native actually uses Hotwire Native under the hood in some scenarios.

Got it, thanks! Will do.

Or, why I threw away 20,000+ lines of working code and started over with nothing.

For the past few weeks I ran an experiment: build something real, almost entirely with AI. Here’s what I learned, what’s shifting in how I think about code, and what I’m honestly terrified about.

Have you tried Hotwire Native yet? In my (extremely biased) opinion, it truly does bring “the ease of Rails development to native mobile app development”.

Why thank you! :D

That's right! It has a few native buttons that interact with the web view, like navigating between days and submitting forms.
