I don't understand why it continues to be acceptable for people to ridicule followers of a religion (such as myself) with images like this.

I make myself sick when I gun it from a stop. :)
Awesome! I picked up a LiveWire S2 Alpinista over the summer... love it so much. :)
My favorite safari trick: opening a bunch of tabs, shift clicking to select them all, then dragging them all off to make a new window.
Yup! It’s cool!
You gotta watch this… it’s cool
Get somebody or an automated service to do penetration testing on your app... then you'll have some new errors to review. :)
Very cool!
“Three jobs are running on a regular schedule:
- LicenseStatusTransitionJob - runs hourly on the :00, typically 70-145ms
- ...
Everything looks healthy - all jobs are executing on schedule with consistent durations and no errors in the last 24 hours.”
So cool :)
It used the MCP server to get the project list, found the project, looked up the Insights query syntax, ran a query to find the event types, found ActiveJob events, and then ran a query to get those events. It gave me a list the last 20 job executions from the past 24 hours and then summarized:
...
I’m tracking events in Breakwater with Honeybadger Insights, and I wanted to know how my periodic background jobs were doing, so I used the Honeybadger MCP server in Claude Code with this prompt:
Can you show me the last few job executions from Honeybadger Insights for this project?

Cap'n Web is an object-capabilities RPC library from Kenton Varda. Beyond its support for object-capabilities, it is designed to integrate very nicely with TypeScript and Cloudflare Workers. I couldn't find a JSON-RPC library that worked as nicely, so I stole its design used Cap'n Web as inspiration for a JSON-RPC implementation. Cap'n Web has a number of benefits over JSON-RPC Object capabilities. You can pass functions and classes by reference. This is more than a feature, it completely changes how expressive your API can be, and enables patterns that are not possible with a more limited RPC protocol. Pipelining. Invoke two methods and then pass their results into a third in one round-trip. Support for non-JSON data types: ReadableStream, bigint, Date So why would you ever want to use JSON-RPC instead? Mainly it's boring (link to Choose Boring Technology by McFunley) and has been around for longer than a few months. The JSON-RPC 2.0 Spec was last updated in 2013. Even more impressive, you can sit down with a cup of coffee and read the whole thing. Your coffee might not even be cool enough to drink when you've finished. A few more points: Widely used in the Language Server Protocol which drives code-editing basically everywhere Used in MCP spec Easy to invoke with plain curl commands Works well with browser dev tools Many client implementations in many languages Cap'n Web is strictly more powerful, and I look forward to seeing it grow and mature, but for many projects today JSON-RPC is a great fit.
Why not just use capnweb then? Isn't it really nifty?
Coincidentally, Claude was helping me with a Faraday upgrade yesterday, and it discovered forks for convertkit-ruby that I could use to fix a dependency issue, so this was top of mind when I read Andrew's post. :)
This post about "Respectful Open Source" by @andrewnez.bsky.social inspired me to have Claude build forkwatch, a tool that analyzes forks of any repo and highlights where multiple forks converge on the same fix.

Our CLI is another option 😉
I like the term "Automatic programming" from @antirez.bsky.social
I think it fits for the process I was describing in www.bencurtis.com/2026/01/buil...
Yup!
It still *feels* like a fair amount of effort because I’m striving to achieve more than I would have done without the assistance. I’m not settling in ways that I would have settled before, so I’m building a product that I’m more proud of than I otherwise would be.
I hope that makes sense. 🙂
Yeah, I totally get that. I do not feel as invested in what has been built as I would if I had typed every line of code. That said, I really want this thing to exist in the world, and I *have* put some serious effort in to this, so I would be sad if it went away.
For the afternoon folks: I shipped a thing, I had fun, and I blogged about it. ;)

What if, instead of AI eliminating junior developers, we use the time we save working with AI to mentor junior developers? Help them accelerate their learning (developing taste/discernment) by sitting side-by-side, teaching them what works and what doesn't, while Claude does the typing?
Your comment made me think about the concerns we have in the industry about junior developers not having a chance to break in and/or level up due to AI. I.e., "If AI does all the grunt work, why do I need juniors?" ...
I think discernment is an excellent word for your concern! Yes, an AI is not going to teach you taste, but if you are already able to discern good from bad from the big picture down to the small details of delivering software, then AI assist is a great force multiplier.
It’s fun to tell Claude, "ship it", and watch it commit, push, and open a PR.
I just did that for my latest blog post about using AI to build Breakwater, an app for managing licensing and access control for Docker container distribution:

I appreciate your timely PSA… I was just looking at diving into book 7 last night. :)
We love Crunchy at Honeybadger. Do it! :)
I recently shipped something fun for Honeybadger: You can keep closer tabs on your cron jobs now, and even use them to get data into Insights for querying, charts, and alarms. :)

Production debugging with AI agents has really improved my workflow lately. Here's how to automate fixing bugs on @github.com.
This approach should work for Claude Code and other agents too, lmk if you want ideas.

I had this same feeling as I built a SaaS in a few spare hours over the holidays… as a SaaS expert, having Claude build out the app felt like adding rocket fuel to the process.
