I used Claude[1] to help me rapidly prototype and iterate on my ideas, and had a working demo about two hours after the idea first popped into my head. It doesn't track read/unread status (unread indicators stress me out) and doesn't display the full text of any post (I'd rather see what the author wrote on their site than in a stripped-down form). It uses GitHub Actions to refresh the subscribed feeds and uses GitHub Pages to provide the web interface. And it's configured with YAML. I'm still doing a lot of tweaking but I've been quite pleased using ChillFeed[2] to follow blogs this week. + +=> https://www.anthropic.com/claude 1: Claude +=> https://github.com/chillfeed/chillfeed/ 2: ChillFeed + +### Cycling + +I (along with many others, apparently) picked up cycling during lockdown, and I've done a reasonably good job of keeping with it. I try to ride three times a week, and aim for at least 12 miles each ride. I had been doing those rides primarily on the multi-use paths near my home, but lately I'm doing more and more of those rides on the road. That seems to give me a much better workout, and this week I hit a few personal records along the way. It feels good, man! + +### In other news... + +- I moved some of the more personal (that is, about me rather than a piece of technology) slash pages from my runtimeterror blog[1] over here: namely, /uses[2] and /save[3].

Maybe I can figure out a CSS-based approach to do that here too. +- I built on last week's work[2] on using Cabin analytics to track upvotes on Bear posts and added a similar "kudos" function[3] to runtimeterror. +- A fun side project at work this week was creating a GitHub Actions workflow to help us decide where we should go for lunch each day. It's another excuse for me to keep practicing building stuff with Go, and I think it's helping some of the other team members get a better understanding of how GitHub Actions workflows work. +- I've been *s l o w l y* reading the O'Reilly Production Kubernetes[4] book for what seems like ages. I finally finished it last night.🎉 It gave me a lot of good insight and things to consider when it comes to building a production Kubernetes platform.
