Nice work.. I'm building the same thing right now. Partly because we need this and don't have the budget for Artifactory etc., and mainly to test out largely hands free, agentic development.
Feel free to use what I am building but I also think more people just need to try and build something. We are almost in a star trek style world where you are talking to a computer to make a holo deck promgram :) sorry for the trekkie talk.
My recommendation with testing out hands free agentic, know it is not fully hands free. I find my self babysitting alot of terminals going at once, like having a bunch of interns or junior devopers.
It is important to plan plan plan.
I want to eventually switch and play with self hosted models but for most agentic stuff Claude is killing it in terms of results.
Considering Cook Strait is one of the most dangerous and unpredictable waters in the world - I think I'll pass on flying through it! I've had some dodgy passages through the Wellington harbour entrance - as much as this should fly above it, I'd be feeling rather nervous.
That said, given how much the current ferry has issues - maybe this is just as safe.
> The survey was conducted in January and February 2023.
As an NZ based CTO - I feel things have slowed quite a bit since the start of the year. That said, the market is more buoyant than the US based on comments from others here. I think things will pick up in the new year again.
It's an interesting article overall - but it seems to be half written now, and half written earlier in 2022. There's no publish date on the blog article that I can see.
Google seems to think it was posted 3 days ago - but in the article you have sentences like "However, some of the most in-demand phones are expected to become more available by February 2022." Which adds to the confusion of the currency of some of the statements / observations.
I'd go further and argue that this contains no new information and it's basically a sales pitch for outsourcing your electronics manufacturing to Jabil.
Big news? It's certainly not a topic of active conversation in NZ.
It was talked about for a day or two when it was announced a while back - I haven't seen a single news article about it recently, nor has anyone talked about it. The opposition political parties haven't made a big deal out of it either that I've noticed.
I don't think anyone really cares. With vaping still being allowed - it's all a bit moot. Anyone born after 2008 is going to be buying a vape.
Interesting read. My grandfather was the "cigarette officer" in Stalag Luft III (the Great Escape PoW camp). His duty was the distribution of the incoming Red Cross cigarettes. The job was his due to the fact that he didn't smoke (at least that's what I was told).
He was also on the list to get out in the Great Escape - but was far enough down the list to never make it out of the tunnel. His job during tunnel construction was sand dispersal - socks down trousers that were released in the middle of a game of football.
