I’m going back to university to study full time. Has anyone had experience getting part time software development work for companies (probably contract basis) in Europe? 7+ years as a software developer for health technology, and insurance.

Zed's been crashing constantly for me lately. For little things like sending a message to an agent, or trashing a file from the git window :(

I think I have to swap from Sol to Opus 5. It just writes much cleaner, maintainable code. The analogy of Sol as a bulldog tearing it’s way through a task to get to the right output is just so so true.

This is exactly what people were warning retail investors about, when they said “hey, don’t you think it’s odd they’re opening the IPO to you guys???”

I decided to throw my ingester into the deep end, and hit it with the vite repo. The ingester did perfectly fine. The sync to local? Not so much. But i’ll iterate.

Dang this sync stuff is pretty cool. I might be able to get a basic frontend up tomorrow. I’ve pretty much got the data pipeline down, gonna do some security testing, but otherwise, dang. I’d love to pressure test it with some peeps who have big public repositories. Maybe the npmx fam could help.

So I may've built a reactive store for Github. For repository owners you can set up a github app which syncs repo information and issues / PR's into a postgres database. This is maintained both via Webhooks, and manual reconciliation.

So I used my $250 of free claude extra credit to build a service that syncs organization repository data from Github to Postgres. What am I gonna do with this 😈

I feel like with SOL, if you ask it to implement TDD when writing code, it writes the most arbitrary tests for every little thing. Like it'll write a test to make sure that your README.md has the write words lmao.

I'm using Claude Code for the first time in a long time, and it feels like Opus 5 definitely deserves it's place at the top of the Agentic Coding benchmarks. Without any messing, it feels like it understands good agentic coding practices to make less of a mess than previous Opus and also Sol

One of the things I've found since getting my Macbook Pro is that I never want to wear headphones. The in built speakers are just so good
