It’s not a thing but you saw the shot and took it 🥁

I'm a big fan of Claude, which works great.

Occasionally I see a PR on GitHub that uses Copilot and I take a look at what's happening

Every time I open a Copilot PR there's a message along these lines 🫠

Oh neat!

Interestingly I made Snake for Remote Desktop recently too (although only single player): rdc.ibuildstuff.eu

Shout out to the cyclist wearing lycra, who, immediately after complaining at me moving to the left hand side of the lane (to give someone pulling off from the pavement space) opts to run straight through a red light super fast 👌

Miliband lost the election because of a Bacon sandwich

Truss was pitted against a Lettuce

Presumably that means whenever Starmer goes it'll be Tomato related?

Yeah it happens in BE too when passing through BXL Nord/Central (and IT in Roma/Napoli) too

Today's "what if I asked #Claude to build something absolutely ridiculous" - a Remote Desktop server that plays Snake (no Windows required).

All deployed onto @railway.com to keep things simple.

Try it yourself: rdc.ibuildstuff.eu

Truly, my kingdom for @railway.com to support TCP ports with custom domains (like they do for HTTPS services)

Spinning up a container elsewhere to proxy the custom domain/expected port to the TCP port/hostname used by Railway gets old fast 🙃

Current status: Deutsche Bahn’d

The new cycling infrastructure on Karl-Marx-Allee into Alexanderplatz is 👌

However this is the third time in a week I’ve seen cars turning right using the dedicated bike lane rather than the car lanes, maybe it needs some bollards? 🤔 #berlin

Just had a flashback to when a friend customised a pizza but forgot to include either cheese or a sauce in the options

When it arrived he opened the box to find a cooked pizza base and 8 meatballs rolling around the box 😂

I wonder if Labour will realise people voted “anyone but the Tories” at the last election before the next election, or whether the greens will just replace them over time 🤷‍♂️

Quite, that’s the fourth non-trivial sized project shipped in a week :)

Today in, "here's a crazy idea made [quicker] by #claude"

I really dislike email spam - so I thought to myself, could I avoid that problem altogether?

What if you had an SSH contact form, instead?

Terrible idea? Probably 🤔

Claude saying 'let's add Slappers Only mode'

Naturally I've incorporated one of the best multiplayer game modes of all time

A 3D web-based multiplayer shooter game, entirely generated by Claude Code.

Today in #claude experiments, what happens if we tried to make a multiplayer 3D web-based shooter in the browser (entirely without coding)?

Ah ok, thanks for the context - I figured they’d all have been replaced to reduce maintenance costs or something :)

Am I imagining things, or weren’t these phased out at one point?

Today's question/investigation: what if your #IaC could propose resolutions to common issues?

Yep. Having experienced it briefly first hand last summer, I’m blown away by their resiliency.

There’s an exhibition in the middle of Kyiv which compared some events to the Warsaw uprising, which I hadn’t made the connection to.

End-to-end demo video after ~5h of prompting - it's not a bad start at all tbh

A screenshot showing the infrastructure map view of the prototype I'm working on, with the right-click menu for a virtual network and the background worker thread as showing the resource group was created

Did I just vibe code (a very simplified version of) @systeminit.com by accident? 😬

A screenshot showing a dynamic infrastructure map, with 2 Resource Groups and a Virtual Network visible, including the dependency chain. This also includes the state of the queue, showing the second resource group as having been created.

Next with a dynamic infrastructure dependency map, we could create/delete/inspect resources and their dependencies - and trigger any operations (e.g. restart/rotate a key) on that resource type)

Creations/Deletions happen in a background queue, this is super neat.

Of course, these are usable in a browser environment too, so what's stopping us exploring our infrastructure there too? 🤔

Wrapping the new style plugin into a Terraform Provider, run via OpenTofu

The Terraform Configuration for the Terraform Provider, which is wrapping our plugins

So now, just for the lolz, can we wrap this new style of plugin into a #Terraform Provider?

You betcha.

A screenshot showing creating a Resource Group using a placeholder CLI and the Resource Group Plugin

A screenshot showing creating a Virtual Network using a placeholder CLI and the Virtual Network Plugin

This approach intentionally uses a new plugin model (where each Resource Type becomes it's own plugin, so that we can iterate more rapidly).

So we can deploy a Resource Group or Virtual Network. Easy.

(The Test CLI will be replaced, purely for validation right now)

Today's #Claude experiment: what if we took a series of issues with existing infrastructure as code tooling and tried to fix that?

~2 hours of prompting later, I have a test CLI (in the most limited sense) deploying, CRUDing and performing operations on actual resources.

Wild.

Asking Claude to account for PMs renaming their products, somewhat sarcastically

Today I'm continuing experiment with #Claude, but in the #Infrastructure space.

I've opted to include this prompt, because I'm a lil salty about all of the unnecessary renames over the years

posted the link further down the thread :)
