Had fun building a new CLI tool with Copilot today to try out GPT-4.1. Everything went well till I tried to generate ASCII art again so I thought tonight I’d try out a couple models directly in ChatGPT. Things continued to go sideways… 🤣

Been having some fun testing out ChatGPT’s guitar pedal settings recommendations based on super specific gear. It’s needed some prompting to go look up exact control names, but had some surprisingly good results so far. Like most things in the AI realm, good for getting 60-70% there faster.

This is amazing 😂
But can it run Doom?
i have the last laugh now that there’s actually a rust game integration lol
🤣 Not a lot of people noticed the wrong logo being used during the .NET Aspire presentation. It was intended to be the #rustlang, not #rustgameengine logo. But it's so easy to do these things in #dotnet #aspire that @bradygaster.bsky.social made it so!

Quite a lot of discussion around @bsky.app here at #KubeCon, and consensus that it was @kelseyhightower.com 's clear exit from the other place that was the tipping point for the cloud native community coming over here en masse. Thank you Kelsey for your leadership in this and so many other ways.

Came across some footage from earlier this year playing with Eric B Turner. The second clip was probably the most fun part of the night — love getting to lock in with a great band and having new ideas come together organically live.

I made a starter pack that includes all the folks in the tech industry who are sometimes inclined to jam. The list also includes @questlove.bsky.social because he should be on ALL lists the include musicians for all time.

I hope this list expands!

Spent some time trying out #dotnet Aspire last night. Definitely impressed so far. I was surprised how easy it was to pull in non dotnet workloads too.

Can’t wait till Tonex finally releases the new FX update this month. Thinking this might finally kick the cheap tremolo off my board.

Diversity doesn't exist to give a warm and fuzzy feeling, it empowers teams to be more innovative, Its directly correlated to an increase in return on investment and is crucial for AI safety and to combat data bias.

Just got @siderolabs.com Omni running in the homelab and it’s awesome! Already loved running Talos, and this makes it even better.

I made a starter pack of people who are underrepresented in tech. If you'd like to diversify your feed, you can "Follow all" or add them individually

I'm only adding those who have asked. If you are from an underrepresented group in tech and would like to included, let me know!

Seeing the influx of tech people coming over to Bluesky reminds me that we *all* made tech twitter what it was, not the other way around.
