Search and Gen AI (?) guy!
OpenSearch UI means... working on my React skills with my buddy Claude... I never thought I would add "React" to my list.... Sigh.

AI works best in processes where evaluation and trial and error is already in the process today. That’s why it fits into coding so well.

Has the observabikity world ever moved up the “Business Stack” to proactively monitor business events? Seems like all that infrastructure for monitoring systems is almost ther to measure your BusinessOps? #opensearch #opensearchcon. Tell me what exists out there right now!

Ugh, I just asked an LLM to count the number of words in a article I am writing (goal is 2000!). 10 to 15 seconds later, after it read every word, it did give me an answer... Or I could have done "wc -w fast_accurate_relevant_intuitive.md" ;-)

Using Claude on Rails to write large swaths of code, but Zed's built in Claude integration to tweak/fine tune code on a more file by file basis...

My highschol science fair project was a HyperCard based simulation of dissecting a fetal pig…. Never could have imagined the project without what Bill Atkinson invented. Thank you. m.slashdot.org/story/442967

Time for another interesting format: The Hyperwood Exchange Format (HEF).

Based on the cubicle exchange format, coming from an 3d editor based on voxels (remember Comanche?), HEF is a language for building furnitures. And Hyperwood is the idea of open source furniture.

Objects in three-dimensional space made of two-dimensional slats, generated by parameterized algorithms.
