@jensimmons@front-end.social Unfortunately that’s uBlock Origin Light which is Manifest v3 and doesn’t do a whole lot. (It’s fundamentally different from uBlock Origin, sadly; it’s the compromise version for new Chrome)

Claude Code deleted the project’s Claude.md and/or was in a worktree and stopped looking for one in the main branch and I went in circles for three hours while it completely forgot everything about Kirby, rsync, htaccess, and backstop but was convincingly lying that it was doing things.

This week I paired synchronously with a skilled coworker while he worked through a complex Azure upgrade using Claude Code for a site we’re taking from Craft 3 -> 5.

I did the XP big picture pairing work of rubber ducking and watching for hallucinations and he did the high skill work with deep institutional and practical knowledge of working through the steps. It worked.

We un-silo’d from the all too common pattern of a dev and Claude going down wrong paths. Pairing is as good as ever.

@ingrid@everything.happens.horse Yes but something about the line spacing of the title feels off. Less space above "New York" and more space below it. But yes. Would buy.

@Htbaa@fosstodon.org I have dongles going back as far as PowerMac video adapters and mini Firewire and all kinds of weird ones but I know I spent the $49 to connect my laptop to my RAID at some point and sure don’t want to buy a second one of those. On the other hand I realized the inexpensive 2TB SSD I got for backups is now three times the price and will turn that into external /Users storage on the M4 Mini. Hopefully nothing more to buy for this new setup.

So many course corrections and deep questions and test cases. Fridays are Claude Code days now, I guess. Hours on end and actual progress. Finding a race condition on load balanced servers where a canonical url is calculated a few microseconds too soon and messes up the sitemap XML? Not my wheelhouse.

I’m not bragging and I’m not complaining. The junior dev pipeline is broken and tech turned its back on diversity and the tools are killing the earth. I know. The code of Claude Code is spaghetti and they are burning money. Fix your build systems while you can. 🫠

In one day, Claude Code got through three years’ of TODOs on two Kirby sites concurrently: upgrading from 3 -> 4 with functional deploy systems, rsync backups, Vagrant-> ddev, long-ago compiled Sass -> working Vite builds, functional RSS feeds, lightweight site search, fixes for terrible YAML mistakes Cursor made last fall, and a plan for 4->5.

I am so happy to have finally finished reading all the Philip K Dick stories and not need to think about them for another 25 years. 1973-1981 were deeply offputting.

Stacked PR management is the first new GitHub feature I've been excited about in ages.

I was just doing some maintenance on a client site whose repo is on their (large) organization and I guess they're in the preview. It's so good!

@waldi@chaos.social Yes. Without dynamic filtering you are left needing an increasingly massive static block list, which us untenable. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Overview-of-uBlock's-network-filtering-engine Additionally, the resources are fetched and then removed with uBOL vs not fetched with uBO
