My metaharness, Solo (soloterm.com), now supports Linux! It's very good
Give it a shot and lemme know how it goes 😅

Need some extra guardrails for your AI?
Want to give them read only access to something that only offers a full access API?
@assertchris has something that you might like, check it out: assertchris.dev/articles/202…
Friend of mine built ethicalsanctuary.org, and I love it!
It's not a huge thing; but I am so proud of the toolset I have built this year. It's astonishing how much jI use it and how much it allows me to get done.

Game preview live at nofuss.co.za/games/wartech/. Early days, lots of tweaks needed, many bug fixes coming, but the core is playable. I tried to make it something old school with some new twists. Oh, by the way, compiled with WasmCoffee...

Expanding our team and looking for an intermediate developer, if you know someone that might fit this description feel free to reach out :)

Actually crazy. I sat and typed out every one of these 650 words, in about 10 minutes. I cannot imagine how bad students have things; when every "FREE AI TEXT DETECTOR" just flat-out has no clue.

Actually just so excited to work. Just, for a time, not focused on the bad things in tech. Only how much I am learning and building. How interested I am in the profession again; after many years of searching for places to learn and stave off boredom.
I am fully in my "build lovely things because I want to learn" era. I have successfully plugged into AI such that I am able to produce more than I used to at a better quality; while opening up more free time to experiment. 10x quality of life.

A few weeks ago I was genuinely worried about what AI coding meant for engineers.
Now I think it's the opposite. The typing was never the job. We're here for the craft: the defaults, the error messages, how it feels to the person using it.
That part still needs us. More than ever.
Guy at company, that sells the thing that will end your career if you let it, tells you to stop caring about every line of code you produce. surejan.gif
Taste is build 1 line at a time. Scale is learned 1 line at a time. 10x is a myth told to developers at bed time. If you were 1/10 as good as you would have been just cause you typed slow then you were doing the wrong job before.
@alexdebecker I would love to have an app use 2 managed caches: 1 for most app data and 1 that is public (so it can be hit from a second app without waking my API server up). Trouble is it appears I can only link 1 cache at a time.
Bought a used Asus Chromebox 2 from a local pawn shop. It was enterprise enrollment locked, so they were selling this i7 3ghz machine for about $30. Flashed the bootloader so it now runs Ubuntu Server. RAM + SSD upgrade in the mail. It's going to be a worker node for my bot.
