Working on Burst (https://github.com/fred1268/burst) my opinionated backup software written in Rust, non only to weekly backup my files but also to learn Rust. I recently ported it to use Tokio. Ah, and it's cross platform for the Windows or macOS users.
Re:I'm 60 years old. Claude Code killed a passion

Well, I do.
I do not dislike AI at all: I even find it fun, although different.
The thing is that I am not only enjoying the journey, although it is was I enjoy the most by far. But when everyone is able to reach the destination, the interest in the journey decreases (if this makes sense).
It is not a rant against AI: I use AI daily, it IS useful, it is just less fun since AI is around, and the only way I can explain this is the journey vs the destination.
I'm 60 years old. Claude Code killed a passion
I stumble upon a post from shannoncc called "I'm 60 years old. Claude Code has re-ignited a passion", and it made me think. I am also (almost) 60, but AI just killed the passion. I remember all the pre-AI days, where I was enjoying coding during the day, the evening, the weekends and the vacations. This is no more, while others have their "passion re-ignited".I would argue it depends on what...
Okapi – API tests made as easy as table driven tests

okapi is a lightweight tool to help you write your own API Tests as easily as you would write your Unit Tests. Define your tests, payloads and expected results in json, run okapi, and you are done!
Tests make full use of all your cores by running in parallel by default (full sequential and file parallel modes also available). You can easily set up complex rules for expected results, capture previous results to reuse later, etc.
Last but not least, okapi offers a simple and easy to use API to integrate with your own software (okapi does not have any dependencies beside my other 350 LoC lib, go-clap that you can also find on my GitHub).
