With the release of Claude Skills, the first Claude Skill I created was a skill to go find more skills using the skill-creator skill. It's skills all the way down. #claudeskills #Anthropic #claudeai #claude #claudecode

I'm trying out OpenAI Codex as I test and learn about the AI coding assistants. I asked it how I can configure it to interact with Git and GitHub using specific standards. The first this it did was try to execute the "codex" command. Good news: it's not self-aware. Yet. 😅

Back in the day I was on fire about 12 Factor apps from Heroku which were effectively a set of principle's that described a well-designed, cloud-native application. Fast forward to the AI age and we have 12-factor Agents.

Turns out a lot of people share links to articles they don’t read; they react to headlines. So headlines are basically memes to some. No idea if they considered it since it’s paywalled.

Beautiful day to ride bike. I rode past the Boulder Municipal Airport and stopped to watch airplanes and gliders to their thing.

It seems wise to be on the same side as the people who control the hurricanes.
