For @cocore.dev in the last day I - converted ALL of the backend code to idiomatic effect - added o11y and @honeycomb.io - squashed the top errors that were obvious Pre ai all that is a weeks long effort, some I’d even have to learn a lot (effect) Now it’s super high quality, no effort.

I find it hilarious that engineers will spend days, weeks even, curating their token dashboard for their claude code session, when they'll spend practically zero time adding telemetry to their apps to make it better. Claude Code: heres 72 graphs and dashboards. Production: install agent, go home.

This is why humans with experience in scaling, architectural design, and ultimately "running stuff in production" will not be replaced by AI. My approach is both simpler, and faster, therefore saving money and making it more efficient too.

I only learned today that Docker Desktop on Windows doesn't allow containers to access resources on your local LAN. This feels like a major limitation but I can't find a tonne of documentation about it. As I'm moving more and more of my stuff locally, this is becoming a problem.

When working with an Agent that writes the code for you, would it be better to having the author in git be the agent and the "signed-off-by" be the user? That seems more accurate to whats going on. If you yolo it into git and push, there shouldn't be a signed off, showing that noone approved it

"I didn't have time to learn how to use the right tool for my usecase, so I spent twice as much time building something that does what I need" So many times I hear that as the reason for building something. I get it, its cool to build stuff, but it doesn't really add value to what you're doing.
