    I use it but not for daily coding/chatops-ing. It’s great to have my chosen tools available from slack while I’m mobile though. Yesterday Mr claw gave a coworker read access to a G…

    The uptake on Claude-skills seems to have a lot of momentum already! I was fascinated on Tuesday by “Superpowers” , https://blog.fsck.com/2025/10/09/superpowers/ … and then package…

    I wonder if it's entirely coincidental that "KIRO" is a Seattle-area (amazon land) television station.

    i love this. A startup I was at during early COVID times got acquired into Hewlett Packard Enterprise, so we all became HPE employees with HPE addresses. There was a similar form t…
