This is also the second major contribution from other people. It’s a big sign of success for me that people come to my project and donate their time to improve it.

Aha yes I’ve checked the config and it’ll do what I need it too, I’ll give it a whirl and give you feedback.

This is awesome. I’m going to add it to clientele.dev

Is there anyway I can sandbox the commands available or pre-set some code so when the page loads it runs?

Feels like this would be a good mkdocs plugin too!

Yep. All the kill shots with bullet time effects are practical too - a rig of iPhones around the actors. Not cgi.

It makes sense to me to offer a “bring your own http backend” approach even if I have personal preferences as it doesn’t tie down Clientele. Also means I can roll a fake backend for testing.

Thanks Simon (and hi! 👋) - I've already submitted my talk 😁

I managed to fix it eventually, but that old mantra of "the LLM will know the answer if you tell it" holds true - I had to literally tell it what to do. First time I've felt like the coding agent was a burden rather than helpful.
