More catching up from @commityourcode.bsky.social This set is about careers and leading teams, and a couple of these got the biggest laughs of the week. Tagging as many speakers as I can find, go follow them!

Still catching up from @commityourcode.bsky.social and pulling the hot takes and interesting call outs from each talk. Today's batch is agents and MCP, the rooms that were standing-room only. One clip per talk, speaker tagged so you can go follow them. Enjoy the hot takes.

SBA Parking

Asked for a parking tracker for my local airport and got one in a single prompt. Live counts for all three lots off SBAs own feed plus some data collection for me to process later. Still blows my mind how easily you can just make things with AI Models What have you made lately?

Screenshot of a web dashboard titled "SBA Parking," subtitled "Santa Barbara Airport lot availability, tracked over time." A status line reads: last poll 2 min ago, feed updated 10:33 AM PT.

Three cards run across the top, each giving a lot's free spaces, trend, fill level, address, and rates, all as of 10:33 AM.

Short-term Parking, badged Limited: 5 free of 192, steady; 97% full, 187 parked. 500 Fowler Road. Free 0-10 min, $5/hr after, $32/day max, cards and cash.

Long-term Parking, badged Open: 212 free of 780, steady; 73% full, 568 parked. 500 Fowler Road. $5/hr, $23/day max, cards and cash.

Economy Parking, badged Open: 421 free of 564, steady; 25% full, 143 parked. 140 Frederick Lopez Road. $5/hr, $18/day max, cards only, 24/7, shuttle every 15 min.

Below the cards are two toggles: a range selector (6h, 24h, 7d, 30d, All) set to 24h, and a view switch (Chart, Table) set to Chart.

The chart, "Occupancy: percent of spaces occupied, three lots, one axis," spans noon to about 10:30 AM, with a y-axis from 0 to 100% and a Limited marker at the 75% line. Readings begin around 3 AM. Short-term climbs from roughly 55% to 97%, Long-term from roughly 55% to 73%, and Economy holds near 25% throughout.

A footer notes that ADA parking is held in the short- and long-term lots even when a lot shows full and is excluded from these counts, that cell-phone lots and bike racks are available, and that RVs aren't allowed on airport property. 366 readings stored since Sep 9, 2026, 12:22 AM PDT. Data comes from the airport's own feed at flysba.santabarbaraca.gov, refreshed about every three minutes; times are Pacific.

Sure, you've delegated almost everything to agents lately, but Can't recommend enough dusting off the cobwebs and doing some of the heavy lifitng yourself. Still got it!

Did I just discover the perfect theme set for my fleet of AI IDEs? Never again switching between 6 of the same VS Code windows again!

A meme based on the “Thanos Infinity Stones” template. The top panel shows six colorful glowing stones labeled with names of AI IDE tools: Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code, Kiro, Windsurf, and Aider. In the bottom panel, Thanos leans back in satisfaction as energy surges through him, symbolizing power. The caption reads: “10x Developer Workflow With 1 IDE Per PR,” humorously suggesting that using all these tools gives a developer immense power like Thanos.

Dev tools are only as beneficial as knowing how to use them. And sample sizes of n=20 might be worth a closer look. #cursor #devtools #goldenhammer
