I had a great time chatting with @mijustin and @CasJam today on The Panel: https://t.co/gh4KgDSkB2

Today I added a one-shot script to install the Honeybadger CLI and a systemd service to get host metrics (CPU, RAM, and disk) sent to Insights:

If you're as cool as @excid3 and using @hatchboxio, then I think you'll like it. ;)

I have an ongoing Claude Code session for tracking my sales activities, helping with research, etc. I told it to self-organize, keeping info by project/prospect and keeping a daily log of my activities. It's a better UI than any CRM I've used. :)

Kevin’s dropping the knowledge bombs on using Honeybadger Insights from Claude.

[@honeybadger.io @honeybadgerapp]

Your metrics are green. No errors, no downtime, latency looks fine.

Except 22 carts got abandoned last week because checkouts were slow for some users.

Kevin used Claude + Honeybadger's MCP server to find the pattern.

@derrickreimer Every time 🙌

@Shpigford @conductor_build I'm rocking this same setup — love it

[Benjamin Curtis @stympy]

@obie I was thinking the same thing... And I *just* got done having Claude implement the Tool Search Tool on our MCP server, too. ;)

@Shpigford @replysocial If you decide to offer a for-pay self-hosted option, you could give my app Breakwater a try for distribution. ;)

"Everything looks healthy - all jobs are executing on schedule with consistent durations and no errors in the last 24 hours.”

So cool :)

[Benjamin Curtis @stympy]

I’m tracking events in Breakwater with Honeybadger Insights, and I wanted to know how my background jobs were doing, so I used the Honeybadger MCP server in Claude Code with this prompt:

Can you show me the last few job executions from Honeybadger Insights for this project? ...

[Benjamin Curtis @stympy]

It showed the last 20 job executions from the past 24 hours and then summarized:

“Three jobs are running on a regular schedule:

- LicenseStatusTransitionJob - runs hourly on the :00, typically 70-145ms
- ..."

This post about "Respectful Open Source" by @teabass inspired me to have Claude build forkwatch, a tool that analyzes forks of any repo and highlights where multiple forks converge on the same fix.

@jacksondecampos That would be awesome! And thanks for letting me know I'm not blind/crazy. ;)

[Benjamin Curtis @stympy]

@jacksondecampos I'm loving Conductor! I have a question... I don't see an obvious way to share the results in the AI Review tab (1) with the main tab (2), so I've been copying and pasting the output from one into the other. Am I missing something?

[Benjamin Curtis @stympy]

It’s fun to tell Claude, "ship it", and watch it commit, push, and open a PR.

I just did that for my latest blog post about using AI to build Breakwater, an app for managing licensing and access control for Docker container distribution:

@kieranklaassen Do use pgbouncer if you aren’t already using it

I'm moving to Bluesky. I'm @bencurtis.com over there.
