Philips Joins the Club

The Liquid Engineer – Issue No. 32

The promo material is on the thick side:

The actual content is on the other end of the spectrum:

One comb for the most popular OneBlade shaver from Philips. From a company with 18 billion Euros in revenue and almost 70.000 employees. And a gazillion of different shaver models. And then we haven’t even started to talk about all the other products from Philips.

Here at the Liquid Engineer we are in support of small, iterative starts instead of big launches, so we started to follow Philips and will keep you updated.

It’s interesting to see in the comments of the model that even this small gesture has a huge effect on customers. The majority applauds Philips and promises to stay or become a loyal customer when new 3D printable models will be released. Interesting times!

What to Print this Week

Things that fly are increasingly important in our household. This looks beautiful.

Wow, this really seems to work! A foldable twist and sit stick. The description nails it: "it’s handy for stuff like camping or just standing in line for a concert, perfect lazy man seat." I would still advertise to rather exercise more to be able to stand longer, because sitting is the new smoking.

I printed it, and it really looks almost like a Oreo cookie. Which probably is more a testament of how artificial and plasticky Oreo cookies look...

Escaping Groundhog Day with Agentic Coding The Liquid Engineer – Issue No. 42 I did a lot of coding and experiments with Claude Code in the past weeks. Once the initial thrill of the speed wears off, frustration kicks in. I felt like I was in the movie Groundhog Day. The excellent actor Bill Murray wakes up every day in a hostel on the exact same day. The world around him repeats and only he remembers yesterday. He’s stuck in an endless loop and has to experience the same day again and again....

What I Learned About Claude Code So Far The Liquid Engineer – Issue No. 38 I’m still amazed at Claude Code’s performance in my codebase. Within days, I rewrote what took weeks before. Here’s what I learned in the last days: CLAUDE.md’s are important Where the README.md is targeted at humans getting up to speed with a project, the CLAUDE.md is the same for coding agents. This is my starting point, which tells Claude to update the Claude.md. After all, he’s the agent, so he should know best...
