Companion is now named Sidekick. Because you should never forget Claude is but a sidekick in your own story 🥸 github.com/lthms/sideki...

sickest logo i've ever seen

Am I Jev being submitted the same Noul question (“What do you think of this Claude verbose answer?”) over and over again?

i knew i was doing something wrong

what a reasonable and unobjectionable policy. i’m sure everyone replying to and quoting this post is being incredibly normal about it 🥰

Going back to using Merida gif because it's like my brand

Note to self to try github.com/lyallcooper/... on my website.

I’m looking for beta-testers for the next opam release in exchange for a free ~30x speedup on opam update (on Windows, busy VPSs or for hard-drive/sdcard/emmc/cacheless-filesystems/etc. users). Anyone interested? discuss.ocaml.org/t/ann-opam-2...

Me, considering picking “Escaping the Matrix” for my next piece about how i stopped using Claude Code directly and turned it into one tool among others i can use from my editor instead Also me, remembering the far right is using similar turn of phrase for their nonsense

Looks like companion will soon support emacs as well as nvim

I’ve been experimenting with driving Claude from my editor instead of a chat tui. Can't recommend enough. If you are curious, github.com/lthms/compan... could be of interest.

the first rule of compilers is to have fun

Yesterday I wrote a MR like if it was still 2025

You really cannot trust Claude is my personal first quarter conclusion. Doesn’t mean you can’t get it to produce meaningful stuff. Just, if it doesn’t want to do it your way, it won’t 😂

that's the time of the month where i am supposed to write a retrospective. The thing is, i just worked this month 😆

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

The zen of using the `latest` tag of a docker image with auto upgrade enabled

I haven’t read about SRAM since my PhD 😅

So XMPP is a little weird. I wanted to use it has a n8n control plane of sorts but I think Matrix will be a better fit

Claude Code does not deal with frustration very well.

Wrapping Code Comments #devopsish

I really don’t like the pets vs cattle DevOps Analogy It’s more like pottery vs 3D printing

The bliss of watching all the VMs running my k3s cluster being destroyed and recreated, and everything comes back to life.

oh no they scraped your stuff without permission oh no

What can go wrong?

2026 basically

i'm back on IRC 😎

I have deployed a miniflux instance tonight. If you are looking for a RSS reader and don’t mind it’s not professional grade SLA feel free to reach out

I can now redeploy my cluster control plane without my website to go down 🎉.

hi folks! long time no see. i’m officially open to work again, primarily interested in the dx + devtools + ai space if anyone needs a principal engineer or technical product manager with 16+ years in the industry, my DMs are open! linkedin.com/in/leostera github.com/leostera

Blogged something out of frustration today 😅

So, for real: when does the rain stop in France??

This week-end I learned BetterStack has a Terraform provider and I think it is beautiful.
