Goatmire. What an incredible experience!
Much love to @lawik.bsky.social and the team for bringing together one of the most diverse and meaningful conferences I've ever been to.
All the talks were incredible but Flora's musical puppetry was a next level performance.
Bravo!

@joshuawood.honeybadger.io and I finally built the @ash-hq.org integration for @honeybadger.io, took 10mins with Claude Code to plan and build and bit more for testing the first version. Who ever said Ash extensions were hard to build?

Want your LLMs to not rewrite the whole file?
Give them a shell and a tool to use sed and regex!
Or if you want AST patching code patching use igniter alembic.com.au/blog/igniter...
