First Direct is offering £175 for account switches! That's not nothing!
And they have great customer service. What's not to like.
(No I'm not being paid for this, it's just an offer worth sharing.)

Finally tried Claude Code with Claude Sonnet 4 - really liking the CLI, it's slick. For a CLI addict & touch-typist like me it really feels like flow.
Built a tiny firefox add-on in about 2 hours.

Just waiting for it to be approved in the addon store now.

#supernote daily planner made by chatgpt. Pretty cool that you can ask chatgpt to make pngs of an exact pixel size to fit the device (makes pdfs too which is how this started)

In the name of being all-in on #RustLang, and to escape the increasingly slow build times I've converted my blog from jekyll/github-pages to zola/netlify

Much better build & deploy times

My markdown webserver completed an entire page render in LESS THAN ONE MILLISECOND 🤯🦀
That's the efficiency I was after.
You know you're onto something when the dashboard shows response times in microseconds!
Code is high-level, tidy & readable.

I heard on X that the waymo taxis were being torched, in the end the capitalists always win, so I got dall-e to make me some pics of the self-drive taxis getting the upper hand. I wasn't expecting it to go so dark on me!

That's reaaaally useful.
Great for pasting into logseq, or any other markdown capable tools.

For anyone who still naively thinks that the current LLMs / AI / Coder Assistants will replace competent coders rather than just assist them, here's an example of Claude taking "the VW approach to passing a test".

Is it just me or is the Azure #CosmosDB emulator slow and unreliable?
I was so pleased when they announced the emulator, and now I just hate having to use it because half the time I have to kill it, restart it 3 times, and wait for the certificate to actually be available before I can do anything.

😵 Programmers are officially doomed, I just watched as Codeium Windsurf AI IDE just made a test fail - then searched the web - then read a stackoverflow answer, then fixed the test! Run for the hills! 🫠
"Searching stackoverflow" was the one remaining skill we had over the AI 😵💫

I've invited "Rusty the Clown" to run the kids birthday party. Hey hey hey kids.
Catchphrase:

I knew AI was useful for something.

This is good example of why I try and avoid the stock market news machine. It's full of out-of-context fear mongering.

I've made an "almost" simple test git repo to be used for practicing reading complex branch/merge history. Good for practicing --first-parent etc.

Got a 3rd test isolation for you. Separation in hierarchy of data.
I.e. if all records in multiple tables are owned by a user or company record at the top of the hierarchy, test setup starts by creating a new record at the top, and then multiple tests' data can coexist.
Effective.
