Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 27/07/2026It's a spare bit from the Mutalith Vortex Beast, and I used a dremel to cut some "cracks" into the armour. That sounds like a fun activity for me to try! Good way to get some more varied bases at least rather than my current dry desert recipe! 110
Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 26/07/2026I tried a bit of kitbash on my forgefiend to get the chaos vibe. Kind of regretting not trying out some epoxy modelling now. 110
Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 17/07/2026I know you said that you tried Pebble watches as a solution for the problem Index 01 solves, but for you that wasn't ergonomic. Do you think these features could end up landing for the watches still? 100
Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 14/07/2026It was so fun watching all the submissions come in, and all the votes affect the rankings! Loving this piece someone submitted and looking forward to the next. I think the drawing function could do with some love, undo button and colour picker seem important. #pebble #repebble 000

Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 26/02/2026Clean approach, I like the point about running locally in test containers. I think this flow could benefit using build tags rather than if statements, that way you only ship prod code in the prod artifact. What approach would you take for running a service locally that depends on another service? 100
Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 26/02/2026Serverless doesn't always have to mean vendor "lock-in". 000
Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 23/01/2026I had a requirement for something Cloudflare tunnel ish to expose my Home Assistant server. I ended up however going for a Hetzner VPS with tailscale and nginx. Gave me more control to log in and see what's going on if something is wrong. 010

Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 21/08/2025Interesting workflow! I'm sort of onboard, but my question is how messy is it once you get one/more of your branches merged to main? My guess with this jj wizardry is that there's a single rebase command that would put your other branches/megamerge on top of main? 100
Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 05/07/2025Does the course use anyhow for error handling? I'm no rust developer, but I've heard that's the "production code" way of error handling in rust. I briefly tried it and it did make it feel like I was fighting against the type system less. 110
Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 02/06/2025I'd say clamp, I think if a function has such a specific and simple job it's okay to not be spread out step by step like restrict. It's not that unreadable either. 110

Joe Davidson @joe-davidson.co.uk · 28/01/202599% of my usecases: I'll think about my solution, type just enough for Co-Pilot to get what I'm thinking and only hit tab when it suggests what I wanted to write anyway. It's an interesting process, you feel like Co-Pilot is learning your way of thinking but really you are the one learning. 000
