Building

[Thomas Paras @thomasparas]

I built a secret scanner for the AI era. Not for Git - for LLM pipelines.

One API call. Text in, clean text out. 50 secret types. Sub-5ms. Nothing stored.

@messeduppcs As a Christian, I unironically believe Jesus would be a fan of VLC Media Player.

@qimjDEasrOHwby3 @Nerdrotics It's still cleaner than the cleanest places in the USA

@ww32024544 Lucky toad!

@kristoph @Nerdrotics For sure, it's one of my favorite locations because it combines street grunge with Japanese safety and cleanliness. Like NY or SF but with sensible laws.

The Riverwalk is really only trashed between 4am-6:30am

We added 58 new secret patterns and ran them through 21,862 public files.

They all fired zero times.

That's suspicious. Here's why — and what we did about it.

@bcherny @darrenjr How do you have time to do everything else you do and also personally address user concerns out here?

@Visual_Salman Great job!

When people say CEOs don't deserve their salaries..

It's worth remembering just how much damage poor leadership can do.

@kunchenguid @GergelyOrosz Good job on that one @kunchenguid also thought your graph with the switches was neat.

I recently inherited my grandfather's old manual drill press so on the weekend I hooked it up to play Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move. I'll share a gameplay video that contains another twist soon.😉

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

A week later and Code w Claude Extended is still the best builder-centric event I've been to.

Kyle Easterly rebuilt a 1999 MMORPG (Era Online) using Claude Code, got his childhood community back online, played it with his 4yo. talk ended with all of us logging in.

Jon McBee said "if the context is the input, coherence becomes an engineering discipline." stuck with me, so much of what we're doing now is context management.
@AnthropicAI treated attendees like builders, not customers.

Thx @claudeai

@yuki_kurogiri I love this genre of people getting fit because of their fictional character idols
