  I've recently been working with a large, legacy codebase written in an older language with very limited capabilities. It's in this case that I've found LLMs to be extraordinarily useful in handling the tedious work involved. But it's also got me thinking about why I haven't found the need to generate #Clojure code, and I suspect it's because by the time I've figured out what I want, it's easier to write it in Clojure than to explain it in English. 1/2

  I've just released Ring-Content-Encoding 0.1.0, a Ring middleware library for #clojure that handles various types of modern content encoding. This functionality may be already covered by your reverse proxy or CDN, but if not, or if you want more control, there's some middleware for it now. https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring-content-encoding

  Just spent an hour wrestling with snap, the alt #ubuntu package manager, which suddenly decided it wanted to install software from the beta channel instead of the stable channel. I only managed to get it working by explicitly specifying the revision numbers.

  I've been testing out Claude as a debugging aid recently. It's pretty good at catching basic mistakes or typos, and has been able to suggest leads on some thorny race conditions and performance issues. However, it's also made a number of errors itself - it's not a substitute for thinking through a problem.

  Is there any reason for a new web server to support HTTP/1.0 these days?

  I've created a Homebrew tap to install the #clojure code formatter, cljfmt: brew install weavejester/brew/cljfmt
