When did Daniel Vogelbach become a hitting coach... wasn't he playing earlier this year?!

I made a Café Bombon for the first time... This is the greatest coffee drink ever...

The amazing Rachel Lee Nabors and crew made this cool social media tool! R.L. Nabors is an amazing human so I absolutely trust this!

I'm actively not doing social things outside my microblog so I can't support directly, but maybe y'all can?

So... Go check this out?

The wonderful folks at Refactr.Tech were kind to feature me as their Community Voice this month! It was such a nice little birthday present.

Check out some of the things I've been watching and thinking about lately.

https://templates.aiven.io runs render engine!

It reminds me that I made render engine to generate HTML a website at my job 9 years ago. I've been building little sites with it for years, but this is the first time I made a thing my job "adopted" it with render-engine being the underlying tech building it!

It feels good to know that the code I wrote/contributed with awesome folks it being used by people all over the world and people are using it to make actual business decisions. 🤩

I spoke with with Kristiyan Ivanov of BetterDB, the Valkey and Redis observability tool. Kristiyan is a regular contributor to the Valkey community and the ecosystem of tooling being built around it.

New Short and probably the start of a series I'm calling "What is wrong with this plant"?

This plant has edema and I don't know how to fix it because it's not over/under watered IMHO. I literally almost believe that it's just the nature of the plant.

I’ve been wanting to talk about the fun I’m having with strudel (and the things I made for it). But work has been asking me to work on things I’m really enjoying.

I may post a few things on here that are work related but it’s because I’m having fun with them and I’d love feedback from amazing friends that are smarter than me.

Claude used something I was working on for work as a suggestion to tie into a new thing. I got mad and I'm trying to better understand why.

The suggestion wasn't a terrible one but at the same time, the fact that it's using my chat history to make suggestions tells me that it's collecting and connecting more information that I want it to.

Nah.... don't do that. Local models the second they are good enough (and fast enough).
