Today I did a change that was across two apps, different projects, client and server. I tested it as best I could for now, and it appears to work in both apps. But now I have an extra level of confidence because I asked Claude to do a code review, checking all my assumptions and it does find egregious mistakes, that in the past might have taken a day in a debugger to track down. Now it can happen in less than the time that it took for me to write this post. Now I'm going to check to see how it did.

It Is Getting Into The Car, Leaving The Office, Avoiding Traffic, And Picking Up Fish And Chips On The Way Home

It Is Getting Into The Car, Leaving The Office, Avoiding Traffic, And Picking Up Fish And Chips On The Way Home

The concept of "1966" is purely theoretical for almost anyone who wasn't alive then, 60 years of human history separating us from that singular point in time. Sure, the point of history as a field is to educate us about what was happening in, say, 1966, but I barely remember what it felt like to live through most of the years I've been around for, let alone those that came so long before. However, there is one subset of people who might soon get a taste of what 1966 was like, and that is fans of England, who have been waiting since then to lift the World Cup trophy a second time.

Folks, it might be coming home.

What Does It Mean To Be A “Black Artist”?

What Does It Mean To Be A “Black Artist”?

Welcome to Listening Habits, a column where I share the music and musical topics I’ve been fixated on recently.

In between spending the last month listening to every single song with "New York" in its title or chorus, I found time to keep up with the latest big album releases. We're only about halfway through but already this has been a damn good year for music: a good mix of quality releases from stars, stalwarts, and new names entering the ring. The new Olivia Rodrigo might be the best thing to come out recently, but this week I'm more moved to consider Cry Baby, the first independent release from rapper Vince Staples.

Neoclouds, sovereign AI and Postgres: The new operating model for regulated enterprises

An artistic illustration of an underwater ecosystem where a magnifying glass scrutinizes chaotic, multicolored fragments on the seafloor. This visually represents the need to 'bring AI intelligence to data' in situ, co-locating inference with its sovereign Postgres foundation (represented by seaweed silhouettes) to eliminate data transport risks and operationalize enterprise AI at scale.

Inference is now the dominant force in enterprise AI — and with it has come an inconvenient reality: Data is

I’m curious what model Codex cloud (that can automatically check GitHub PRs) is using. It often catches bugs that regular GPT-5.5 misses. Perhaps just a different, more comprehensive prompt.
