Ask an AI agent to compare three options across three tabs.
Now I'm managing a tiny committee that can't see each other's notes.
Can I ask a DUMB social media question?
Beyond nerdsniping poor sods like myself, does it really work?
Follow for more wisdom.
I'd make an AI coding agent explain the change before I let it make the change.
Ask it to name the files it plans to touch and what should behave differently afterward.
If it can't explain the job in plain English, the request probably isn't clear enough.
That pause can save you from reviewing a pile of code that solves the wrong problem.
What's the first thing you check in a Google Flights result?
- Preferred airlines/alliances
- Airports / terminals
- Times
- Non-stop / Layovers
- Price
For me personally it's timings, airports, and price.
Living in London, and close to LHR I assume nonstop in most cases.
I also stopped chasing alliance status because my this year my work doesn't have me traveling as much as it used to, so I'd rather explore new options than stick with "tried and trusted" (and boring) BA.
Claude can make a landing page look finished in minutes.
That's exactly why I'd rather show the ugly version first.
A polished page makes bad assumptions harder to spot.
Nothing sparks discussion as well as being wrong on the Internet.
Switching my energy suppliers by telling a couple of agents to do my research for me & pass my usage so far to them.
Our house is special due to solars, battery, and A/C based heating that lets me optimize for cheapo night-time EV tariffs, and export rates.
Looks like the Frenchies win this round ☢️
This cyber halloween season is the best one ever 🎃👻
If no major piece of infrastructure gets hacked or otherwise falls over today then @thsottiaux owes us a reset, that's the rules, right?
Back in the middle ages, when I was DevReling at @CircleCI in a past life, some 5 years ago, I used to do conference talks, webinars, and workshops on speeding up and optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and squeezing the most performance out of tools.
I gave my top 10-ish tips to Claude a couple of weeks ago and it got my times down by more than 50%.
Thing is, I'm more than certain it could have done it without me actually telling it what to look at, if I just grunted something like "make ci fast brrr".
I honestly don't know how to feel about it, I console myself with the fact that it has probably trained on some of my old content, so I _am_ using old Zan DevOps wisdom. 😅
My main branch's full deployment pipeline durations, each line is 5 mins, got them from skirting 15 min runtimes down to a cool 6 mins.

The NCSC is encouraging UK organisations to prepare for immediate updating of systems using PHP. Where immediate remediation is not feasible, organisations should consider taking the system offline until it can be fully mitigated.

Hey @waitrose what’s going on today?
Paid for a morning 1hr delivery slot today, the guy arrived after the window, missing 2 crates.
You charged me full price and no answer to my CS query that I opened immediately after he left.
You were supposed to be the good supermarket and now I’m srsly considering switching to ocado for my weeklies.
Odlično bi bilo če slovenska gospodarstvu in podjetništvu naklonjena vlada porine v to smer! @JJansaSDS
