Tonight was one of my most surreal Claude Code Sundays. To make a long story short, I pointed Claude Code at my Sonos<\/a> setup in Houston: \u201cAll 29 Sonos speakers were running on WiFi with SonosNet completely disabled. They had accumulated ~89 million dropped packets across the system. That packet loss is why groups kept falling apart \u2013 Sonos grouping requires tight sync between speakers, and the WiFi was too congested to deliver it.\u201d<\/p>\n

We had a wild rollercoaster where at one point it bricked several of my devices (green LED), got mixed up on some groupings being a home theater, and sent me all around the house plugging things in to ethernet or not. At one point, I was certain I\u2019d have to redo everything from scratch. Then we came back and everything worked, I asked, \u201cWhat song should we play to celebrate this accomplishment?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

Ha \u2013 has to be \u201cThe Chain\u201d by Fleetwood Mac. Seems fitting given we just spent the evening fixing one. Want me to queue it up on the Gym\/Office?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It then failed horribly at trying to play that song, then, because it thought the speakers were re-meshing, it tried to play it on outdoor speakers, which would have surprised my neighbors at midnight. I ended up picking the song manually, and I must say it\u2019s quite nice. I see why it\u2019s easy to fall in love with these things, because the variable positive reinforcement slot machine cowboy hacking is honestly more fun than if it had just gotten it right on the first try.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
