The never ending quest to keep doing what you're good at and get better at it...rather than making another PowerPoint about what you worked on last week. https://archive.is/20251008122439/https://www.fastcompany.com/91407281/what-is-rust-out-and-could-you-be-experiencing-it-burnout-work

GraalVM @graalvm.org · Sep 16
GraalVM 25 is here, with lots of updates for native compilation, GraalPy, GraalJS, and WebAssembly.
Faster and better than ever!🐰🚀

I would instead invoke Java with the necessary args in the ‘ENTRYPOINT’
If you override it, it will be overridden for the whole lifetime of the container though, right? If I am not mistaken @parenko.dev wants to set the env variable for a single command (the entrypoint?) and then unset it for the rest of the container’s lifetime. In that case I wouldn’t use ‘ENV’
You can unset environmental variables with ‘unset MY_VAR’

#VSCode #DevTools
In this year's #JCrete hackday I decided to toy claude code to start incorporating genAI tools (that go beyond slack-chats/mail/meeting summaries, etc.) in my day to day work. My first attempt was kind of a disaster and I ended up writing a script to the job, but today I had my first success story.
