Writing Python in 2025 is good, actually thanks to `uv` 😎

I wanted a way to benchmark a bunch of LLMs from the CLI. Wrapped @simonwillison.net’s llm library + had it ingest a config file specifying the models you want. It'll run them async (if the plugin supports it) and write the results out to JSON so you can review/eval/process.

When one of the PMs on the team *builds a macOS app* that uses Workers AI to auto-transcribe notes from any system process, summarize them, and do it all privately within your own Cloudflare account 😎

Love this app from Notion (faces.notion.com). My previous avatar was from a Notion inspired Figma. (Ship fun things!)

Case in point: I like AI for prototyping, but… are we headed towards a monoculture because that’s all our tools support? Do other libraries stand a chance? Do we get to try out new ideas? I’m hoping the next big advance in LLMs enables more real-time knowledge (that isn’t just function calling).

How do we experiment with new ideas, frameworks & ship new APIs as the reliance on LLMs increases? Specifically: the current gap between training data (April 2024 for Claude!) means that there’s far more friction for users to try something new or different.

what was the cat trying to do here

USB-C is just the physical connector. It’s entirely legal to ship a product with a USB-C connector that only supports USB 2.0 transfer rates and 15W PD, and even that’s arguable.

European Commission@ec.europa.eu · 2y ago

It’s time for THE charger. Today, the USB-C becomes officially the common standard for charging new mobile electronic devices in the EU. It means better-charging technology, reduced e-waste, and less fuss to find the chargers you need! #DigitalEU

tried writing this blog 3 times but it’s really boring, so here’s the short version: React won. Every mainstream f/w now implements its ideas, and developed their own ecosystems. The ones that didn’t, lost and died. This implies there’s no _strong_ reason to not pick one of the other winners.

If you’re an experienced engineering leader with proven capability in building, scaling and maintaining modern, bare metal storage infrastructure: come talk to us here at @cloudflare.social.

Swapped from iTerm 2 -> Ghostty. Super minimal config. Liking it so far: it really does just work + feel native.

When the docs engineering team picks the only correct date format:

Being a good writer has always been valuable, but in an era of bland AI slop I suspect that being able to write with an authentic, human voice is effectively becoming a super power
