People are using this though. A lot of people.

People use this. I use this. Unfuckingbelievable

I hate Victoria Metrics. For over 6 years now they’ve just injected their shitty replies and marketing into anywhere they can. There is a credible way to do developer marketing and this isn’t it. There is a credible way to publish benchmarks, their way isn’t it.

I’m launching something pretty fun on the @rawkode.academy next week … This is so terribly niche and old, I don’t know if people will actually get it 😅

The @rawkode.academy website now has a Catppuccin theme 😀 @isabelroses.com approved?

I spent far too much time working on the CSS for these logos to integrate with the website theme selector. I hope you like it! 😀

Oh, for fuck sake. My brain can’t cope with this. Someone help them help me.

OK. We can create repositories and we can "link" remote repositories. Behind the scenes, this runs a supervisor that keeps your copy in sync (read only). The mission is that EVERYONE should be running their own forge; but you can contribute anywhere. Next up, WASM extension for issue management.

Sundae Treat 🍨 Did you know that you can "apply" Kubernetes manifests to podman, and it works even though there's no Kubernetes? Supports Deployments (+Pods), Jobs, Services, Volumes, Secrets, ConfigMaps, and more! Do you use podman? What's your favourite feature?

Terminal with command "podman kube play deployment.yaml"

I know SVG is XML and can be valid JSX, but seriously ... fucking hell.

What if operating Kubernetes was like sword fighting in Monkey Island? 🤔

A pixel art image in the style of the Monkey Island games depicting two video game developers, a man and a woman, facing each other in a sword-fighting stance. They are in what appears to be a messy office or breakroom. Instead of swords, they are holding keyboards. Speech bubbles are above their heads. The man's speech bubble says, "You treat your servers like pets, I hear you even give them names!" The woman's speech bubble says, "And you treat your persistent data like cattle, ready for the slaughter!"

There's a "secret" experimental feature of Claude Code's GitHub Action for "Agent" mode; where you can have Claude run on a schedule, or workload_dispatch. So... obviously I need to try it. Introducing my Claude Boy Scout...

Oh, OVH, you sneaky bastards. Exhibit 1. I cancelled something Exhibit 2. There's actually a secret step on another page to confirm Exhibit 3. OVH claim user error. No refund.

I've broken all LLMs. All I wanted was for ANY model to recreate my favourite GTK theme in HTML and CSS and none have been able to do it 😢 It's worse than @simonwillison.net asking them to draw animals on bicycles!

I think our jobs are safe for a few more months.

AI agent trying to run bun install and then npm run deploy, because why use one tool when you can use two!

I built my own analytics system using @cloudflare.social, @duckdb.org, Apache Parquet, and Rust. Article coming soon.

If your commit history doesn't look like this, you're at a serious disadvantage. Don't get left behind 😅

I made a huge mistake and mentioned AI on LinkedIn. Now the commenters are learning that wonderful dry Scottish sarcasm I wield so well.

Does the 'P' in your 'MCP server' stand for Passwordless access for any process to query sensitive data? Because for some, it might as well be. 😬 Run MCP servers with caution and only on trusted devices.

David Flanagan @rawkode.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Why waste time with the crap, when you can be hacking on something fun? Fantastic use-case for @anthropic.com's Claude.

I asked claude-code to fix a rebase which had many conflicts with package.json/bun.lock/other annoying files.

The feature everyone missed about MCP: it's not just another protocol, it's the end of integration hell. One API to rule them all. Every service, every tool, speaks the same language. Companies built on being the "integration layer" just became obsolete overnight. Wild times ahead for developers
