🎵 it's beginning to look a lot like announcement week 🎵

Terminal based - Claude code on the CLI; you’re thinking of another tool

Ah ok - I’d encourage you to try out Claude Code if you can, it’s pretty great.

Claude Code overview - Anthropic Learn about Claude Code, Anthropic's agentic coding tool that lives in your terminal and helps you turn ideas into code faster than ever before.

Depends which AI/model, Claude with context is sufficient, but they need enough context of the codebase to be successful tbh. Have you got a CLAUDE.md in the root or similar?

Claude Code generating an ARM Template deployment

Deploying the generated ARM Template against @locally.build

It's kinda neat seeing @locally.build coming together tbh #Azure

Train rides work great for this, I used to pop out to Potsdam (the long way) from time to time to do this (and take a break by the river half way through, too)

If you have the time, both Lucca and Sienna nearby are well worth a look fwiw

You've got to have a little bit of fun with the custom error pages, right?

[bob the builder theme plays] #Claude

You don't need to speak German to enjoy this: Protesters (Omas Against the Right) drown out ARD-network interview with the bilious head of the fascist AfD.

So much of the complexity in infrastructure tooling comes from circular references in API design.

Making associations/links using a separate API rather than embedding them within either/or resources makes things so much simpler (& testing easier).

This post brought to you by circular references.

Given that #Claude prompts you to run MCP tooling, it's kind of surprising that they (or #OpenAI, etc) hasn't integrated something akin to Open Policy Agent as some kind of permissions model for what the LLM is allowed to do tbh

Kinda gimmicky, but it's also nice to see the culmination of a lot of work finally coming together at the same time

I thought it became legal (with some exceptions) recently? Fairly sure the conductor called out you could drink on a service I took on a Scotrail service I took a couple of weeks ago

If you have a light background, the readability is a real challenge - I like it, but it definitely wants tweaking for a light background

I believe you can still get them, but it’s only at smaller newsagents afaik

I cannot recommend the RIUT bag highly enough (I’ve had them for years) - the 35 is expandable / compressible so it works well for both day and extended trips tbh

There's still plenty left to do, but heck if it isn't nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel for the project I'm working on.

Hoping to be in a position to announce something later in the week? 🤞

Feature-toggle driven development

The quality of commit messages has always varied wildly, but this is something else

*queues up Hotel California*

IIRC @sarahgiblin.bsky.social recently re-enabled EU shipping for her awesome backpacks (shipping from the UK), maybe she’s got some pointers?

Totally.

FWIW my mum was the same, I’ve found that moving my folks to iOS / iPadOS has helped them all a bunch.

I was (pleasantly) surprised to find that my mum downloaded an iPad app and configured cross device pairing for an app yesterday, for example.

They do Torino - Reggio Calabria on a Freccia now several (3?) times a day, so it’s entirely possible

I come out of airport security and spot that a guy is blocking the only directional signage for the departure gates

I approach him and asked politely whether he’d mind moving so he’s not blocking the sign

Wasn’t expecting him to reply, “ah it’s fine I’ll go back to blocking the sign”

Having a project readme and contribution documentation for your project is great - but I find that far too many projects forget to include a "this is how to build/run/test this" in either of those (which is ultimately the most important thing)

Take a photo, of the car, location and fuel gauge at pickup? Little they can do to argue with photographic proof?

100%, that and highlighting a valuation again to try and keep it relevant / in the news cycle

Tbh Android hasn’t really been open source in a long time (particularly considering the private Play Services is essentially mandatory for shipping anything) - does this change anything for the average consumer / contributor?
