Writing Python in 2025 is good, actually thanks to `uv` 😎
I wanted a way to benchmark a bunch of LLMs from the CLI.
Wrapped @simonwillison.net’s llm library + had it ingest a config file specifying the models you want. It'll run them async (if the plugin supports it) and write the results out to JSON so you can review/eval/process.
Code, instructions to build it locally + deploy to your own @cloudflare.social account here: github.com/jonesphillip...
When one of the PMs on the team *builds a macOS app* that uses Workers AI to auto-transcribe notes from any system process, summarize them, and do it all privately within your own Cloudflare account 😎
Love this app from Notion (faces.notion.com). My previous avatar was from a Notion inspired Figma.

More reading in 2025, starting with these:
Case in point: I like AI for prototyping, but… are we headed towards a monoculture because that’s all our tools support?
Do other libraries stand a chance? Do we get to try out new ideas?
I’m hoping the next big advance in LLMs enables more real-time knowledge (that isn’t just function calling).

Finally got around to open sourcing the template I use for React Router + Cloudflare

How do you get your clients into everyone else’s editors? 🙃
Right! Using the LSP is a far more accurate approach vs RAG. Tool calling the LSP to validate autocompletions and/or refactors would be huge.
Curious to understand who is pushing in that direction with the glut of AI-enabled editors.
Right, but that doesn’t help the masses: you now have to distribute (and incorporate!) those fine tunes to users too.
The most popular models/platforms don’t allow you to BYO LoRAs, so we’re back at square one.
USB-C is just the physical connector.
It’s entirely legal to ship a product with a USB-C connector that only supports USB 2.0 transfer rates and 15W PD, and even that’s arguable.
FWIW: I think LLM-enabled editors are powerful tools, but the “knowledge latency” of the most popular/capable models is pretty poor.
RAG helps but isn’t a true fix.
How do we experiment with new ideas, frameworks & ship new APIs as the reliance on LLMs increases?
Specifically: the current gap between training data (April 2024 for Claude!) means that there’s far more friction for users to try something new or different.
tried writing this blog 3 times but it’s really boring, so here’s the short version:
React won. Every mainstream f/w now implements its ideas, and developed their own ecosystems. The ones that didn’t, lost and died.
This implies there’s no _strong_ reason to not pick one of the other winners.
This includes scaling our metadata layer, driving our new Rust-based storage subsystem, and designing for our massively distributed network.
Expecting a decade+ of experience for this one.
Email me (silverlock @ cloudflare) if you’re serious.
If you’re an experienced engineering leader with proven capability in building, scaling and maintaining modern, bare metal storage infrastructure: come talk to us here at @cloudflare.social.
to me it’s similar to talking about programming languages, a good CLI, or even a great ratcheting wrench: an appreciation for great tools and QoL improvements that can come with them!
Swapped from iTerm 2 -> Ghostty. Super minimal config. Liking it so far: it really does just work + feel native.

When the docs engineering team picks the only correct date format:
Being a good writer has always been valuable, but in an era of bland AI slop I suspect that being able to write with an authentic, human voice is effectively becoming a super power

We’ve been working on making the new Model Context Protocol from @anthropic.com *really* easy to build against 👷
uv is really really really close to replacing about half a dozen tools (and making python the default scripting language)
