20 days till the @londonmarathon! Time to start the taper. And remember to sponsor me to get your donation to Sage House matched. 2026tcslondonmarathon.enthuse.com/pf/james-benne…

What sandboxes are you using?

If we automated the status side of stand ups will it help with collaboration? Check out this video and let me know your thoughts.

@HRA42187954 @ollama @streamlit Does that use Ollama? Looks more like it uses GCP

@jimbobbennett @ollama Hey @jimbobbennett You could try with: github.com/hra42/teams-ba… Relatively simple project from work to get people using image gen. Build with LLama 3.1 and @streamlit

AI folks - anyone have any apps they've built using @ollama? I've got a side project I've been working on that acts as a shim to run Ollama on another device to seamlessly so looking for things to test it out on.

Hey @ShawnBasquiat - been noodling on our discussion yesterday about AI as a tool and regulation. So here's a 🌶️ take that also digs at capitalism and governments. On YouTube as it's over the time limit here. youtube.com/shorts/enN1yI2…

After @shanselman dropped a video counting to 15 on 4 fingers, here's counting to 60 on 2 hands. It's Babylonian counting, and is why we have things like 12 hours, 60 minutes in an hour etc.

@getpieces @FrancescoCiull4 Hey @packratt1 - @elliezub is asking for a cat robot!

@getpieces @FrancescoCiull4 - check out packabby.com.

@getpieces @FrancescoCiull4 Here's a video I recorded with one of the founders: youtu.be/6OYGeOwd6RY

Just got my first contribution to the @dotnet IoT project merged! Support for the @pimoroni blinkt! github.com/dotnet/iot/pul…

@BatsouElef @getpieces Hey as long as they have ‘masculine energy’ 🤮

@getpieces If not mid-level,then what does he suggest?

Mark Zuckerberg says it's over for mid-level engineers this year. We say it’s the perfect time to start building your ML/AI skills. What do you think?

Our Head of Developer Advocacy, @jimbobbennett, was on the @dotNetCoreShow! 🎙️ Jim shared stories from his time working with Xamarin (and collecting monkey swag), talked about why he thinks all developers are really just Doug from Up 🐶, and explained how privacy-first tools are changing the way devs use LLMs in their workflows. If you're a developer looking to reduce context switching and stay focused, this episode is a must-listen! 🎧

@nigelanderton @getpieces Sorry about that - this is a bug possibly with our CRM and we are trying to get it resolved.

Hey @getpieces you’ve just lost a subscriber to your mailing list. This is NOT Ok:

@andrewdmaclean Nice going!

This one is for you @jimbobbennett 🏃💨 Next conference I will be prepared 👟

@mysticaltech @getpieces Would love to get any more feedback or learn your thoughts! Either here, DM me, or join our Discord at pieces.app/discord

@mysticaltech @getpieces Like having a long-term memory that captures context over all the activities you are doing on your developer machine that the copilot can use? Does that! Or choose from a selection of LLMs including local models? Does that too! Or add a website with code as context? We got ya!

I saw this and had to share it.

@film_girl Same! Or a pair to run 405B parameter models.

Gimme the baby Nvidia Supercomputer now plz. It’s a Mac mini esque little mini AI lab. I want it!

UK folks - I'll be at @DotNetNorth in Manchester on the 28th January talking about building a Star Wars copilot with C# and @getpieces! Come join me. meetup.com/dotnetnorth/ev…
