I needed a replacement for AWS Polly.

I gave Qwen 3 coder the hello world example from the kokoro README and it nailed a containerized API in one shot! Full details and code on the blog.

Why are people telling me to calm down about Devstral Small 2507 bf16, no you get excited. It's legitimately handling a full Cline agent with a deep memory bank and very complex prompting.. tools, MCP, etc all without serious issues.

But it's such a small change. I'm on call anyways

You smell that son? That’s jira. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of jira tickets in the morning. You know, someday this sprint is gonna end

Me - load memory bank
Gemini - I see a clear problem. I need to refactor your entire application. Who wrote this and who hurt them?
