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! πŸŽ‰ 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. βœ… Next #AWSBedrock #AI

🌱 Imposter Syndrome should be embraced - it means you’re levelling up and growing. Try to switch your mindset. If you don’t have it, you are probably sitting quite comfortably.

I find VS can be slow.
So are you saying Resharper slows down VS?
Which I have installed.

Recently I find VS is just so memory hungry.

My biggest grievance is the date time format.
I'm full ISO8601 all the way including the TimeZone.

Where I can, I will always stipulate ,for all systems the time must always be in UTC.

I have connected to API's in the past that flipped between MM/DD and DD/MM or time in 12/24 clock.

I may have been guilty in the past 🀭. Seen it happen a few times between front / backend. Or API method 1 has one format at the method 2 has the other.

The problem is when it's in the API picked up months or years later. Too late to fix. We have a central data dictionary, with defined API names.

What about "keep" alive/active events.

Where a service in the quiet hours needs to still be reactive but there is no traffic. So every 5-10 mins send a dummy/canary request.

I'm with you on this , we have found a lot of our children's , clubs push everything out via insta or Facebook, and others others you must have whatsapp , all Meta services! instead of a simple email.
Always interesting conversation when you say "you may not publish a child's image on social media"

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.

@ryanairofficial.bsky.social clearly not prioritising passenger safety. Just boarded the MΓ‘laga–Stansted flight to find nuts scattered all over the floor. This is a serious risk for those with #nutallergy and #anaphylaxis. How can we trust you to keep us safe, Ryanair? #ryanair #passengersafety
