Open-sourced Chief β a CLI that wraps Claude Code in a loop and works through your project task by task.
Define a PRD, run chief, go do literally anything else. It commits after each task and picks up where it left off.
Zero config. Single binary. Pretty TUI.

Gave a talk on Ralph Loops at the Copenhagen Laravel Meetup last night. Still pretty new to this, but it's been seriously addictive -- there's something weirdly satisfying about going to bed and waking up to a fully working app.

My personal rules for surviving Ikea:
1. Never buy the cheapest option. Even if on a tight budget, buy the *second* cheapest
2. Once youβve left a floor, there is no going back
3. Never impulse buy something in the Self-Service warehouse
4. The cinnamon rolls smell a lot better than they taste

It's quite embarrassing to still have such a stale library lurking in the docs... but on the other hand, the library still works 100% with many of the newest Geocodio features, which really just shows how committed we are to keeping our API stable and backwards compatible.

We just removed code examples from our docs for a third-party Geocodio library that hasn't been updated in 10 years(!). We now only show code examples for our first-party libraries.

Now building a Docker image with external dependencies... That's a different story. I think I'll just push my changes and let the CI decide if I got my linter issues fixed or not :)

I'm happy to report that Claude Code works exceedingly well on plane WiFi.
I wasn't sure how much data it was pushing back and forth, but it's surprisingly smooth!
