The website of German (un)employment / job agency is down. Today is end of the third quarter. As of today, half of my team is being layed off.

“User reports show problems with Bundesagentur für Arbeit (Federal Employment Agency)“

Downtime reports start to climb around 9am

„trying” it is indeed.

ok so @coderabbitai.bsky.social has many perks - but those PR poems do really cheer me up each time

Screenshot from a Github PR Coderabbit comment:

A rabbit checks the package row
Six fresh versions now glow
Sentry hops and Vite runs
Oxlint shines beneath the sun
Node and Autoprefixer greet
Neat updates make the set complete

Some anti-LLM folks‘ stance is principled (i.e. in ethics, which I respect a ton), but for some it‘s merely a way to gatekeep.

Discord is neither what we need nor what we deserve #persona @chatto.run (github.com/chattocorp/c...) is what we need, even tho we don’t deserve it neither. So that’s at least a +1 for Chatto. I can think of a few more. Use chatto.run.

About time to reveal who’s been pulling the strings at the @npmx.dev & friends community day in Berlin 🧡 Make sure to join the @npmx.dev guild so that you don’t miss out on the next event: guild.host/npmx #YouCanJustDoThings

Jens, Matias (Patak), and Willow very focussed in the rear area of our meetup venue. Willow is making sure the live stream works. Matias is operating Bluesky. Jens is monitoring the live stream on YouTube and makes sure that speakers don’t step out of the camera‘s viewbox

I call this photo „meet your idols“ because in it I met my idols (and rad humans!) @vladimir.berlin @thealexlichter.com @43081j.com @nickthesick.com (James of @npmx.dev & @e18e.dev fame made sure that @willow.sh‘s Svelte pin on my bag is blurred)

5 very happy looking people at a conference (the tagged gents). The unnamed operator of the camera made sure that image stabilisation wouldn’t be able to unblur anyone but him.

Ok ok, yesterday around this time I ran out of words to verbalize my @localfirstconf.com experience. It’s far beyond „mindblown“. I‘ve been cognitively DDoS'ed. Nerd-sniped into oblivion. It’ll take me a month or a year or infinity to process all the impressions. What. An. Event.

Day 2 @localfirstconf.com continues with the same level of intensity 🤯 First, @pfrazee.com gave us a tour of how to scale distributed systems. Now we’re learning about IMAP’s quirks and a new proposal (JMAP - yes JSON) from @fastmail.com

Paul Frazee on stage with a slide about high scale architectures:

Many services
Decoupled workloads
Database/on-disk variety
Event queues & replication
Canonical v cached

Lots of talks @localfirstconf.com are about brilliant technology and brilliant use cases. Now the @npmx.dev talk from @willow.sh and @patak.cat focusses on the most important thing imho: the community!

hm, trying to stir something up with Obsidian, the LiveSync community plugin, Astro and GitHub actions ...

Screenshot from a Claude Code session with Fable as model.
A web search for the changelog of my WiFi repeater's latest firmware update release notes triggered Fable's safeguards:

Fable 5's safeguards flagged this message. The safeguards are intentionally broad right now and may flag safe and routine coding, cybersecurity, or biology work.

I’d say I have 3 hobbies: - programming - gaming - smart home / internet of things Really hard to estimate / draw the line here but it’s 150€+/month. Hardware, subscriptions, games. For coding, base overhead of 40€/month for servers. On average I add 20-50€ of smart hardware + 10-60€ for games.

not gonna brag but my skills mix enables the right amount of "ergonomic" on lazy Sunday mornings

screenshot from claude code in the terminal:

❯ /agent:asshole /do-your-job /code-style workflow

⏺ The asshole + do-your-job + workflow call is fair: I
bounced the naming fix back ("name them and I'll do it")
instead of doing it. Per do-your-job, I decide and act. Per
your explicit "workflow", I'll fan out one agent per file
to apply the /code-style naming rules and validate each —
not punt it back to you.

Loading the /code-style rules are already in context.
Running the workflow:

⏺ Workflow(Apply /code-style variable/function naming across
the no-bash hook + harnesses, validating each file)
⎿ Running in background · /workflows to monitor and
save

⏺ Workflow wn37bu37o running in background — 8 agents, one
per file, each applying the /code-style naming rules and
validating its own suite. I'll report the renames + final
green state when it completes (you can watch live via
/workflows).

not sure how I feel about blocking semicolon-chaining but other than that the more informative messaging seems to work well

Claude tried to invoke some bash commands. Hook blocked.

"Hook blocks the ; inside the until loop. The Monitor tool exists for this. Use it — single notification when "Local" appears."

Then it successfully invoked its Monitor tool

I mean ok @anthropic.com - this pattern probably is **really** bad for National Security or similar tasks like slop-coding a React app or AI-driven targeting for double-tap striking civilian buildings or whatever (the martyr prose - omfg)

I made Claude Code review all memory files from the last 56 days for one project (!) and it came up with its own conclusion for @anthropic.com. I'll be test-driving something else next month. Opus 4.6 was so much better (or Claude Code as harness at that time). "Honest" assesment, @anthropic.com.

Claude Code is concluding **I am a fraud** in a 250+ lines markdown document named IAMFRAUD.md from "50 dated failures over 56 days"
