Thoughts are my own

[Nick Conn, PhD @nicholasjconn]

Anyone using coding agents can create a personal assistant. I first built Steward to control access to my email. Claude and Codex have plugins for this, but I’m REALLY glad I decided to build my own. Stew uses @LinkedIn, @X, @todoist, and more.

Before posting more, I want to share how my personal agent Stew turns raw thoughts into X posts. I pick a topic or idea, type/dictate a free-form stream of consciousness. Stew uses my x-write skill (https://t.co/MkSRruXJdF) to write using my words. I edit and approve. Stew posts.

[Nick Conn, PhD @nicholasjconn]

Stew, my personal agent, showed me a post from an AI newsletter framing agentic coding as the best video game ever. That really resonated. I'm lucky enough to play this game for work and fun. I'm going to start sharing what I learn, hoping it will help someone. Stay tuned!

I want out of AWS #awswishlist

[David Good @helloworldless]

Last night, after a weekend hackathon, I (soft) launched @iolify, a new desktop app console for AWS, initially focused on DynamoDB. More details coming soon.

@maciejwalkowiak Thanks for sharing, I've been enjoying your blog posts :)

This is IntelliJ Ultimate. Both features work fine on my machine when using 2021.3.1

[David Good @helloworldless]

Just upgraded, and noticed a couple features seemingly broken in @intellijidea 2022.1.4 on macOS:
1) File > Open > Scratch file does nothing
2) Help > Find Action... does nothing (Shift Shift does not work either)

@GergelyOrosz The name gives it away that this is something unpleasant: "2-week sprint"

Pretty much decided it's a bad idea, security risk. I realized that it's probably hard to customize the Spring Security OAuth2 filter chain by design!

[David Good @helloworldless]

Any tips on how to "auto-authenticate" callers in lower environments based on the presence of an `auth-bypass` header with @SpringSecurity OAuth2 resource server?

[David Good @helloworldless]

@datadoghq Getting flooded with alerts since yesterday. I found this issue which says resolved, but it looks like it's still an issue. https://t.co/wmAkWH3sr5

[David Good @helloworldless]

@SpringSecurity "Auto-authenticate" meaning the caller does not need to provide an access token

[David Good @helloworldless]

Do *not* want to disable/ignore auth entirely. This is just for ad-hoc bypass, e.g. for human users troubleshooting in lower environments

More than just your average code example from Effective Python by @haxor!

Ahhh come on #DynamoDB
