Claude code for web:

- connects directly to your GitHub repositories
- creates a sandboxed environment in which to conduct its work
- lets you open a PR once it has finished

Working totally "blind" isn't going to fit a lot of the time, but for some smaller tasks, this could be awesome.

Oh Claude, what have you learned from us...

What a nice day to start my Wednesday

Not sure AI would be that good at tennis yet

Thanks, px307 🫡

(Context: Decking is a repo I haven't worked on in around 10 years. It was like docker-compose, before docker-compose existed, and I and many other users loved it)

Does anyone know precisely how Cloudflare applies CPU limits to long-lived WebSocket connections? I had a socket closed recently on ~2000ms CPU usage - way below the 30 second default.

Bumping the limit works, but I want to understand the methodology @cloudflare.social @cloudflare-dev.bsky.social

Weird bait & switch from Apple. Core Audio Taps was previously listed as stable from macOS 14.2. Now they're trying to claim it's in beta and only available from macOS 26.0 onwards?

I can tell you now, Claude, you're going to be disappointed.

Seriously, what are you supposed to believe when a company has this range of reviews? Admittedly the sample size on Yelp is miniscule... but boy, are those reviews *damning* 😅

The 2025 edition is here! Check mine at gitbox.app/makeusabrew for an example.

Existing users still have their 2024 page preserved in all its glory, e.g. gitbox.app/makeusabrew/2024.

Almost half way through the year already - keep on coding! 👊

The most important revenue figure nobody's talking about: $/commit.

... I dread to think what mine is. Can it go negative? I think mine's negative.

I think I'm becoming a bad influence on Claude; it's coding more and more like me every day

I'd like DeskVault (built ~September '24) to learn a lot from Bluesky Inbox (blueskyinbox.com - built ~February '25).

I think the latter is by far the best looking thing I've made. I had a lot of help from v0.dev, but I am slowly but surely improving my once non-existent design eye.
May 30, 2025 at 1:24 PM
I haven't worked on DeskVault in *ages*. Way too long. I'm dusting it off this afternoon briefly to go after this rather nuts gross revenue viz I made under the influence of far too much coffee and exuberance.

Left: current. Right: WIP changes.

Very cool: inngest now lets you filter function invocations based on payload values. Your handlers should include sensible tracing info in logs already, but easy access to inngest's perspective is incredibly useful

WHOOP’s recent launch of their 5.0 wearable hasn’t been without the odd controversy, but I’m really excited to get this on, see some new metrics, and see if the sensor accuracy has improved (particularly on the wrist while cycling). Not to mention what it means for API consumers like fitIQ 👀

Not much help from CatGPT today. Pretty cute though, so I’ll let him off
May 12, 2025 at 1:02 PM
ChatGPT really ramming the point home that I've got absolutely nothing

Currently perusing a list of 'popular standards' on the ISO.org website - how's your Wednesday going? ☕️

Truly, the most satisfyingly palindromic repo count
