I don't "Google" questions anymore, I just ask the Gemini app (Pro 2.5).

Specifically things that you would find in documentation or Stack Overflow, I get long winded answers but it has been reliably answering my questions with accurate nuance.

I'll be speaking at #splunkconf25 in Boston later this year, and not just once, but *three* times!

When I started my small business I was quickly freaked out by international tax and pivoted from Stripe to a merchant of record.

Yet so many of the services I use, which are MUCH bigger, don't charge me appropriate sales tax at all.

Like @cloudflare.social, @theverge.com, @nuxt.com, and @zed.dev

I've voted for the same political party my whole life, and this week in the Australian Federal election I will be voting the other way.

I wish there was a product like @github.com CoPilot Workspace, but had much higher limits and just raise the PR when it was done. I dont care if it ran when there is spare inference and took much longer to complete, I just need a monkey to do monkey work.

This was long overdue. Now I just need to update bre77.au to point to my Blusky.

Had a phantom Automatic Emergency Braking event in my Tesla Model 3 today. That's where the vehicle automatically applies full brakes until you come to a complete stop.

Would have been a minor discomfort if it wasn't for my wife holding a tray of 4 coffees, which went all over her and the seats.

@zed.dev AI Edit prediction turns out to be a really good spell check when I'm writing markdown. Probably not the most efficient use of an LLM, but it works!

As a solo developer, I feel attacked by @atlassian.bsky.social marketing. Invite my team? Unleash the power of teamwork? I'm all alone here Atlassian!

When I figured out how to generate typescript from protobuf protocols using ts-proto, my development experience went through the roof. No more cross referencing multiple files just to create a valid message.

Made me realise I hadn't been generating pyi files for my Python implementation either.

If you have had trouble setting up the Tesla Fleet integration in @home-assistant.io, I have good news: FleetKey.cc is working again!

It's annoying when you accomplish something incredibly technical that only a few hundred people in the world would even care about.

I have successfully implemented the Tesla Command Protocol in TypeScript for NodeJS. I will be using it for the @teslemetry.com API soon.

I did a thing!
Well to be fair my wife did most of the work.

The way the #HomeAssistant Tesla Fleet integration works was great before, but now it's a complete mess. It has occured to me that it could be much simpler if it supported the Machine to Machine based authentication...

If only I didnt have a dozen other things on my backlog.

Chatting with @joostlek.bsky.social last night led me to commiting 1592 new lines to the Teslemetry Stream library.

GitHub CoPilot has become such a critical part of my workflow now, and makes these incredibly repetitive tasks bearable.

I'm actually looking forward to getting an agentic AI.

Teslemetry's API v2 has just gone live, built with @fastify.dev. Being able to validate input and self document are extremely valuable features for my users, and the modular (plugin) design is perfect for my future growth.

And just like that, Tesla has moved the goal posts and now requires each domain to have its own certificate registered with a CA from a list they don't provide. Let's Encrypt didn't appear to make the cut, and a CloudFlare wildcard certificate isn't enough either.

Support ticket raised.
Tesla Fleet in #HomeAssistant 2025.1 requires users to register their own developer application, which requires hosting a public key on a unique domain.

To make this easier I have created fleetkey.cc with @cloudflare.social Pages, Workers, and KV.

It lets anyone host their pubkey for free.

I just copy pasted a documentation page into @github.com CoPilot with Claude 3.5, and it wrote all the @fastify.dev / OpenAPI schema for me.

The time I save using CoPilot far exceeds its cost many times over.
