My favorite thing to do with AI in coding at the moment: Documentation drift detection. All the time I have Claude constantly review Code, Terraform, and Confluence docs to see if they still match. Each Pull Request gets checked if it could silently invalidate existing documentation.

🗓️ 🔄Local Calendar Sync is now on mobile.
Between the years is nerd time for me, so I finally ported it from desktop. Mobile just makes more sense as it's always online.
The app keeps calendars in sync. No cloud, no subscription. Private.
Let me know what you think!

In the latest version, Claude Code detects that I am using it for Swift and suggests me to install the Swift langauge server plugin, so it can access compiler features like go-to-definition and error checking. Really cool!

Imagine you could ban a font and you don’t choose Comic Sans. WTF.
Marco Rubio bans Calibri font at State Department for being too DEI | TechCrunch
Calibri, which could make documents easier to read for the vision impaired, was apparently installed in 2023 by the department’s then-DEI office. Rubio’s memo has designated Times New Roman as his tenure’s official font, stating it will “restore decorum and professionalism” to documents.

Before heading to the gym, I quickly hand over three tasks to the GitHub Copilot Agent to work on in parallel in the background while I work out. Ready to be reviewed when I come back. What a time to be alive!

What to do in between two jobs? Start another side project, of course! So I started a weekly tech newsletter! https://whatdidimiss.io
Every Friday, I send out a handpicked list of news articles on AI, tech business, software development, and industry breakthroughs. Unexcited, no fluff, jargon-free.

Agents.md fixes the chaos of AI coding agent configuration. Project-specific AI instructions have been fragmented: CLAUDE.md, .cursorrules, ...
The future: A universal spec, already adopted by over 20k open-source projects. Let's all migrate to Agents.md and leave the mess behind!

My friend skipped our meeting. His AI didn’t. Whoops, I trash-talked to the note taker, which now thinks he runs an airline cleaning crew. As a result, it added some very disturbing tasks to his to-do list. Consider it payback for leaving me hanging. Sorry, Mike! 😘

The success of LangChain, an open-source framework for building AI applications, is wild! In Python, LangChain is now downloaded more often than the official OpenAI SDK.
That’s more than a stat, it’s a signal: flexible, open tooling wins the heart and minds of developers. ❤️

Agents are cool. But agents that talk to each other? That’s where it gets interesting. Google’s new Agent-to-Agent Protocol (A2A) promises exactly that.
Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.

One of us had to change the name. As you can see, LinkedIn is still called LinkedIn, so my Browser Extension is now "Make Social Media Great Again".
As a result, the Apple Gods now allow me to publish it as a Safari Extension. Safari users, your timeline is now 💩-free too.

Apple's App Store Review keeps on being a frustrating shit show! 😡
To bring my free(!) "Make LinkedIn Great Again" browser extension to Safari, I need to change the name, replace the "Buy me a coffee" button with In-App Purchases (= -30%).
Each of my questions get ignored...
