WOAH! Hardware LLM Acceleration. This is so much better than my current setup in terms of performance, but I really like my keyboard on the GPD Win 4 (2025)

one day it crashed for the last time. I remember when it was only because I came home to a HDD making sounds like a demon giving birth. The replacement was a mac and never looked back.

I could, but only because I've done one in javascript before (for those pebble watches). Give it that as context to know how to pull the API... sqlite mcp for storage... seems doable

I needed a replacement for AWS Polly.

I gave Qwen 3 coder the hello world example from the kokoro README and it nailed a containerized API in one shot! Full details and code on the blog.

Why are people telling me to calm down about Devstral Small 2507 bf16, no you get excited. It's legitimately handling a full Cline agent with a deep memory bank and very complex prompting.. tools, MCP, etc all without serious issues.

Did you find any models that worked well for you? I've found the new devstral-small-2507 to be useful for things. It's hard for me not to compare everything to Gemini 2.5 pro and Claude Sonnet 4.0 though.

I'm not a fan of VSCode but Cline was so featured that it's all I use now.

So they have "Made with AI" and "Made by AI" icons you can put on your site to distinguish between the two.
I thought about including it on my personal blog, but I edit the final version and there is zero profit motive. Maybe that makes a difference.

You smell that son? That’s jira. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of jira tickets in the morning. You know, someday this sprint is gonna end

This is hilarious. I wanted it to ask me questions if it had any but it decided to ask me questions until I understood the problem.

I was chatting with Gemini about my terraform infrastructure and it recommended cost savings that cut to my soul

I don't use k8s directly because it's so damn complicated, but AWS ECS is really straight forward. I can get auto scaling API containers in a blink with Claude and terraform. But it's only really useful for http/stateless IMHO

Me - load memory bank
Gemini - I see a clear problem. I need to refactor your entire application. Who wrote this and who hurt them?

I spent $0.03 for Gemini 2.5 pro (6-5) to ask me for help fixing the tests.
