I would have liked to see it run tests and report status before deploying, but it WAS cool!

Merge it.

Taylor demos the full SDLC of 2026: Nightwatch catching an error, AI fixing it and opening a PR, Cloud creating a preview environment, OpenClaw calling to ask if he wants to merge the PR.

No code touched. Fully self-healing app.

More than 100 participants; two prize pools for multi- and single threaded solutions; performance already pushed to sub-3 seconds. The 100M-row challenge is doing great!

FYI: if you're with a company that wants to pitch in to biggen the prize pool, feel free to let me know :)

Is that your brain telling you that you're doing what you want in life, but not what you really really want to do?

Can’t remember the last time something useful came to the Laravel world that wasn’t tinged by AI.

All I see is that BobBotAI has been replaced by CashewPT 3.6, which has been acquired by OpenZeldarAI, which is outdated anyway, and everyones now using ReleasedLastWeekAI with YAFEditor v0.221.

Decided to wear this T-shirt this morning, then got the sad news that Simon Harris has passed away.

Had a few chats with Simon online, thoroughly nice bloke, always had time for a chat.

Another legend of British 'street' culture gone.

#RIP

My first site had two framesets: left one for navigation (with Java applets for animation) and right one for content. Hosted on AOL's Instapages IIRC.

Crazy to think that Williams have never had multiple championships with the same driver.

Bluesky Map Interactive map of 3.4 million Bluesky users, visualised by their follower pattern.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

AI is a total game changer when it comes to software development.

If you're not using it you are going to be left behind.

Today's thoughts: why don't operating systems have a built in dictionary? Why does each app need to download it's own?

Ditto for geographic databases.

A lovely sunny morning here in Hednesford, Staffs. Clouds are building up now though.

One problem with this 'vibe coding' malarkey is that I can't have music on when dictating to my AI prompt.

I just accidentally asked Claude code:

"add a docker container for MySQL right about now the funk soul brother to this project's docker-compose file"

Does that also apply to people with Aphantasic?

I'm going to be bold here and predict that Williams F1 will win a race this year.

I'm aphantasic and love music. I don't get how people get emotional about lyrics though. A deep and dirty Drum n Bass drop thrills me to my core, same as a clever syncopated rap flow, but lyrics about depression or being in love are empty.

I guess that's what makes people weird and wonderful 😊
