This is not me posting in real time! I wrote and scheduled this post with goose. It's my submission for Genuary day 4: "Lowres" The entire process is automated from end to end using goose recipes, Agent skills, shell scripts, and github actions. #genuary #genuary4

i appreciate how far AI has come..think about it..in 2022, I was using GitHub Copilot to autocomplete P5.js to make a janky looking house.

okay that's all my posts for this morning. i just wanted to see if the scheduling functionality would work, and I wanted to catch up on genuary. I have one going out for this afternoon. Stay tuned!!! :D and check out my repo to see the transcripts I had with my agent

apologies in advance..i will be posting more of these. im catching up with the genuary challenge. I'm lowkey using this to help me learn agentic coding better. today..you will see: - day 1 - day 2 - day 3 later on today.. - day 4 from me. And then in the future you will see one post per day.

“Catch up or get left behind.” Is the most overwhelming, preachy reason that devs should use AI. It’s time for a mindset shift. You’re not behind in AI. You’re right on time.

“[…] like this: […] you have a package delivery system where you automatically open and process every package that arrives. CVE-2025-55182 was like someone figuring out they could put a bomb inside a package, and your system would […] unpack and activate it without checking what was inside […].”

Haven't been in reactland for a hot minute but it's always good to keep up with the major vulnerabilities

I've been ignoring the posts and warnings about React2Shell. I wrote my cautionary tale. dev.to/blackgirlbyt...

If CEOs can make crazy predictions about AI, so can I 😅 dev.to/blackgirlbyt...

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Open source maintenance is a marathon that never stops. We put goose to work on its own backlog by embedding it into a GitHub Action that turns issues into draft PRs. I wrote about how this improved my day to day as a maintainer. dev.to/blockopensou...

ICYMI: Blogs I wrote lately about MCP and for #blogvent

Code Mode 🤝 MCP These are getting compared a lot lately, and they shouldn’t be. We wrote this post to clear up the confusion, and how it works within goose 👇 https://block.github.io/goose/blog/2025/12/21/code-mode-doesnt-replace-mcp

We just shipped code mode, so goose can generate and execute code against MCP tools instead of loading every schema into context. This means fewer tokens, better control, and more scalable workflows. https://block.github.io/goose/blog/2025/12/15/code-mode-mcp

MCP Sampling is BLEEDING EDGE. Check out my demo of it..this is done in a more educational/fun way, but imagine how you can apply this to code.

Bluesky does not like my AI posts 😂

For Day 12, we're going to use MCP sampling to help us choose the Winter Festival's mascot! adventofai.dev/challenges/12

POV: You delegate work to subagents and they actually deliver. Day 11's solution for Advent of AI is live. It's not too late to join the fun. Link in the 🧵

Day 11's challenge : adventofai.dev/challenges/11

If (you want smarter AI workflows) { try this }! For Day 10's Advent of AI challenge, we learned how to add conditionals statements to our reusable workflows. Check out today's solution video to see how we helped Elena dynamically generate festival posters using if/then logic.

Devs write off AI agents because they make too many careless changes..and it's hard to rollback. We commit early and often to create checkpoints for safe rollbacks and clean collaboration, so why not enforce the same discipline on our agents?

goose is migrating to a new home 🎉 Block, Anthropic, and OpenAI have founded the Agentic AI Foundation This brings together goose, MCP, and AGENTS․md under the Linux Foundation. Time to fly in formation. The flock just got a lot bigger. block.xyz/inside/block...

Why are Block, Anthropic, and OpenAI aligning on open source agentic AI? Join a live chat with the creators of MCP, goose, and AGENTS.md as we break down AAIF and the future of open agent standards. 📺 linktr.ee/goose_oss 📅 Dec 16 at 12pm PT | 3pm ET

I also got mastitis at my first conference away from my baby. It was so painful that I avoided hugging my colleagues, and then ran back to the hotel to pump and relieve the pain. Make it easier for nursing moms: set aside a nursing room with great setup and supplies!

We ask why are there no women in leadership? or why are there no women speaking at this conference. The lack of nursing rooms at conference is a contributing factor..imo #blogvent Here's a blog post about my alarming, but naive experience dev.to/blackgirlbyt...

i really think my advent of ai idea was so cute. i ate with that. i came up with good challenges. people are excited. we're putting out cute little videos daily. i didnt account for the drops offs though. i need something to reinvigorate people and show case what other ppl made

Day 4 of the Advent of AI took things up a notch. The challenge: build and deploy a website for next year’s winter festival! See how we connected the Netlify MCP server and used it to deploy our site with a single prompt. Watch the Day 4 solution + try the Day 5 challenge, now live!

Day 5 of the Advent of AI is here! & it’s time to throw your keyboards out the window. The challenge: build a gesture-controlled Homecoming Board using real flight data. Watch the Day 5 solution + try the Day 6 challenge, now live!

The results are in. The No Keyboards Allowed Hackathon pushed creativity to a new level. Congrats to our winners! 🥇Sterlin Chapman 🥈Sheikh Limon 🥉Oleg Šelajev

i hate when this happens to me. i have real work to do. real blog posts about tech..but my brain wants to write personal blog posts instead. so then i do nothing. im just going to write the personal blog post right now. so that i can feel unblocked and do the rest

I guess this time the game really does stop, when the stream ends.

a little late but joining @cassidoo.co on #blogvent For this one, I actually had to use *whispers* Stackoverflow dev.to/blackgirlbyt...

For Day 3, try turning messy tournament data into beautiful data visualizations for the Hot Cocoa Championships! ☕️ adventofai.dev/challenges/3

The Advent of AI Day 2 solution is here! We built a choose-your-own-adventure storytelling web app… in minutes. Enable the developer extension → prompt goose → get a fully functional web app. It’s that easy. Don’t forget to try the Day 3 challenge, live now!

guys ive been running this, and it's freaking exciting

Day 2: adventofai.dev/challenges/2

The Advent of AI Day 1 solution is here! Madame Zelda’s fortune-telling app crashed… so we used the goose CLI to generate fresh fortunes on the fly. Check out the Day 1 solution video + try the Day 2 challenge, now live!

I miss silence so bad lolol

It's the most wonderful time of the year... to build with goose. ❄️ Starting December 1st, swap that holiday rerun for a daily AI challenge! Join Advent of AI and boost your AI agent proficiency every weekday. All skill levels welcome.

Here's what I did for the @opensource.block.xyz #AdventOfAI Day 1! 🎁 Task was to build a festive fortune generator, so I did this.. with proper logging, but it also posts one daily to @fortune.pds.j4ck.xyz daily at 5PM UK time! (the time that the new Advent challenge comes out.) A 🧵

As mentioned, it runs every day at 5pm, will use the `goose run` command with GitHub Copilot (Claude Sonnet 4.5) & generate a fortune with a random mood and theme mixed together ❄️ Here's an example. Running `./generate-fortunes.sh` will generate one, can also be reread with `./view-fortunes.sh`:

You can also manually put in your own mood for the festive fortune, see this example 🦋:

The Folks at @opensource.block.xyz have an advent of AI, a series of challenges over the next three weeks to work with Goose to solve practical programming challenges that's just kicked off. adventofai.dev
