This is some wild stuff; while other smart devices fall prey to being hacked either due to incompetence or negligence, these Yarbo robotic lawn mowers and snow blowers would appear to be state-sponsored surveillance Trojan horses.

Huge news: Microcks is officially a CNCF Incubating project! 🚀

We are thrilled to announce that the CNCF has voted to move Microcks from Sandbox to the Incubating stage. This milestone is a testament to our incredible community of contributors and 30+ public adopters who believe in making API mocking and testing effortless.

I randomly followed Fayner years ago via rss because I liked her writing about REST API's and here is another one primer on #ReST and #HATEOAS. As a consumer of #APIs I struggled with many of the points she says developers leave out.

Also, I love #JSON for some unknown reason.

That seems a bit similar to what I currently do... ;-)

"To use an analogy about my process, compare the scenario to a senior tech writer (TW) working next to a junior TW, where the senior TW mostly provides observation and feedback (in this analogy, the junior TW represents the AI agent). The junior TW creates some docs and presents them to the senior TW, who leaves comments explaining what needs to change. The junior TW takes notes about all the feedback in a journal. By the end of the process, the junior TW has three pages of notes.

After the process finishes, those notes aren’t lost. They form the basis of the SKILL file. The next time the senior TW sits down with another junior TW (a different one, as the session changed), the new junior TW produces much better output thanks to the notes. With each iteration, the notes get more detailed — anticipating common errors, adding validation checks, laying a foundation so that each step doesn’t build from faulty information. After a dozen iterations, the senior TW finds they have less and less feedback to give.

Eventually, the senior TW no longer needs to sit next to the junior TW in close observation. The junior TW proceeds autonomously through each step in the SKILL and just shows the final result. One key difference from real mentorship, though: the AI agent doesn’t carry any memory between sessions. It reads the SKILL file cold each time. All the “learning” lives in the document, not in the agent. This makes the SKILL file itself the critical asset — if it’s vague or incomplete, the agent’s output regresses immediately."
