Wrote a CLI for formatting SQL within sqlx macros like query_as!
It includes a GitHub CI Action for format checks and uses the sqruff formatter under the hood.

Switched from cargo test to nextest and its output is much nicer. It's also a few seconds faster on a 2-3 minute set of integration tests.

Made the switch from #hugo to #zola as the static site generator for my personal #blog:

It doesn’t really matter much to readers, but I needed a justification to spend a few hours on a new design.

Wrote a piece on coding with AI.
Bottom line: Autocomplete is fine; agentic editing is overhyped, at least for now.
Autocomplete lets you code at the speed of thought, while agentic editing breaks that speed limit, and you have to catch up mentally anyway.

A few months ago, my application with the Fuel Registry of the German Federal Cartel Office was approved. With access to the gasoline and diesel prices they provide for all of Germany, I'm now building a small web app.

Tried a drag-and-drop workflow tool and built an #automation that grabs the top X #HackerNews stories with their top Y comments. It uses AI to summarize and convert them into a 1-3 minute audio digest sent to my inbox twice a day. Loving it!

Just rediscovered my Pixabay account and saw that my vector graphics have been downloaded 5 million times! 🎉
Reverse image search showed that they're all over the internet. Made my day! :)

Hardly new info, but BSky should know:
Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply.
Thank you, little guardian molluscs.
