You guys the talk i did last week was kinda fire. Here’s a clip
Devs write off AI agents because they make too many careless changes..and it's hard to rollback.
We commit early and often to create checkpoints for safe rollbacks and clean collaboration, so why not enforce the same discipline on our agents?

I also got mastitis at my first conference away from my baby. It was so painful that I avoided hugging my colleagues, and then ran back to the hotel to pump and relieve the pain.
Make it easier for nursing moms: set aside a nursing room with great setup and supplies!

Here's what I did for the @opensource.block.xyz #AdventOfAI Day 1! 🎁
Task was to build a festive fortune generator, so I did this.. with proper logging, but it also posts one daily to @fortune.pds.j4ck.xyz daily at 5PM UK time! (the time that the new Advent challenge comes out.)

As mentioned, it runs every day at 5pm, will use the `goose run` command with GitHub Copilot (Claude Sonnet 4.5) & generate a fortune with a random mood and theme mixed together ❄️
Here's an example. Running `./generate-fortunes.sh` will generate one, can also be reread with `./view-fortunes.sh`:
