Part of me does feel validated cause I called this during planning 😂 but being right is bittersweet when I'm the one who has to keep working on the thing lol.

It doesn't help that the type of app we are building really doesn't want to be stateless / isolated.

Lots of API calls to external services for rate limiting, authentication, and state persistence (cosmos DB)

It all works well enough once it's built but every handler is its own snowflake.

My kiddo is 7 months old now but I felt like this the first 8 weeks or so.

Slowly but surely he slept longer, cried less, and needed fewer changes. My partner and I got into a rhythm too which is key.

I won't say it's all sunshine; there are hard moments. But there are greener pastures ahead.

Mint Oreo is my typical go-to as well! I've never tried the Reese's one. Will have to give that a go next.

It's definitely sweet! I only got a mini. Don't know if I could go bigger than that, haha.

What's your go to blizzard Chris? Tried the turtles one a few weeks ago and was a big fan.

Want to use OAuth 2.1 alongside the streamable-http transport? not if you want to use Claude Code, Claude.ai, or Chat-GPT!!

The only place I've got OAuth working alongside streamable-http reliably is in VScode's copilot chat 😅

If you're using copilot in vscode you can see your "percentage used" but that's pretty much the only other place I've been able to find usage stats.

oop! just realized you meant for the early access deno deploy! my bad!

like having the lil github copilot guy notice the silly-dumb mistakes I made in my PR and pointing them out and creating issues for them? kind of fire.

On the other hand, just spent $5 having Claude Opus 4 write some very broken unit test boilerplate that I had to heavily rewrite.
