We ordered a LEGO set from Amazon for my son's birthday. It arrived crushed and water damaged, we contacted customer services and requested a refund. We ordered the same one again that day. It arrived... also crushed. Surely packaging can be improved for items like this? #Amazon #LEGO #Packaging

LLMs are mirrors of operator skill
This is a follow-up from my previous blog post: deliberate, intentional play. I didn't want to get into the distinction between skilled and unskilled work because people take offence to it, but AI is a matter of skill. Someone can be highly experienced as a software engineer in 2024, but that does not mean they're skilled as a software engineer in 2025, now that AI is here. In my view, LLMs are essentially mirrors. They mirror the skill of the operator. how do identify skill One of the most

Just built my first basic #MCP server! 🎉 Hooked it up to #Claude & #VSCode, now trawling my old projects, auto-writing docs and dropping them into Confluence with near-perfect formatting. Took about an hour to create; the server does all the graft. ✅ Next #AWSBedrock #AI

I upgrade an entire project from .NET 8 to .NET 9, it just works. No hassle. Just... done. I try to run a nodeJS build that worked YESTERDAY, with no changes, and it fails because the nodeJS ecosystem is about as stable as a tectonically active goth on rollerskates after a litre of supermarket gin.
