Super impressed to see that Monzo (a modern mobile-first UK bank) has published a detailed post-mortem of a recent outage: https://monzo.com/blog/2019/06/20/why-bank-transfers-failed-on-30th-may-2019/

I'm super impressed by how many lint rules can be implemented with just eslint's no-restricted-syntax and selectors. Example:
{
selector: "ExportNamedDeclaration[declaration=null][source=null]",
message: "Add `export` directly to the function instead of a block export."
}
Claude asked me a question today: was I looking for an Emacs plugin (because I was talking about elisp) or a Rust program (because I have configured Rust preferences)?
I'm really impressed, it's rare to see LLMs ask follow-up questions.
(I wanted Emacs in this case.)
Trying the nix CLI today, and I'm seriously impressed with the formatting of its --help output.
Indented warnings, italics, bullets, even adding a left border to code snippets! It's a nice reminder to take full advantage of terminal features to help the reader.
