Hello World

· 1 min read

Time to create a devblog. Details are in this post.

The stack for this is:

The code for the site is available on Gitlab. Feel free to patch it, fork it, or just read the code.

As its just me, everything is done in the main branch in git.

Typically I’ll be using VS code for development, but at the end of the day, its just text files so anything will work.

Here’s a VS Code hint: For adding images in markdown, you can copy the image and paste it into the markdown editor you are using to write the post. Setting the VS Code setting (CTRL + ,) markdown.copyFiles.destination to assets will ensure that the image is copied to the assets directory in the post. I have this set so that **/* maps to ${documentWorkspaceFolder}/assets/${documentBaseName}/${fileName} so that images are copied to a subdirectory in assets based on the post name.

Here’s an example: alt text

AI Usage with Claude

I’m also uses Claude Code (claude.ai/code) to help with code generation and editing. The goal there is to learn about AI-assisted development and see how it can improve my workflow. Using it in a low-stakes project like this is a good way to experiment.

To do that, I created a file called CLAUDE.md in the root of the repository. Claude will use that files to understand the project and provide relevant code suggestions. For more hints on using Claude, and AI assisted code in general, I strongly recommend reading Claude Code: Best practices for agentic coding. If you aren’t getting good results from Claude, ensure you are following the guidance in that article.
