Editing wikibase.world (a MediaWiki site), with Jules (an AI agent)
I recently decided to run an experiment on wikibase.world: what happens when you give an AI agent the keys to a live MediaWiki instance and ask it to do some targetting gardening, including edits to Wikibase? Meet the Jules free tier, though i'm sure you could use any agent. Over the course of a few hours, I tasked Jules with editing…

Late to “AI” assisted development?
Earlier this week, someone asked me if they were perhaps late to making use of AI-assisted development, as they dove into it in the past 2 months (using GitHub Copilot) and are already seeing large gains in a small team in terms of leverage of time. I thought for a second and responded that they might have seen comparably worthwhile gains roughly a year ago.

For one reason or another I have run into GitHub core API limits in the last few weeks, which has generally annoyed me, and leads to some workflows (such as using GitHub Copilot in an IDE) to be broken, even though such things seemingly have their own API limits and restrictions, they often rely on core to do some things...

Fixing Wikimedia Commons thumbnail sized (on my blog)
As AI crawling and training continues to stress the web, the Wikimedia foundation continues to change various things in their edge rules and internal processes. Recently the Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026 was likely one of the largest technical events organized after some of the new rate limits came into play, and it wasn't without issue at the event (though we got by).

Historically I'm terrible at post Hackathon write ups, though a few do exist... (#hackathon posts). For the past few days I have been attending the Wikimedia Hackathon Northwestern Europe 2026 in Arnhem NL with around 70 other people. Around 42 projects were shown at the showcase, and I want to briefly look at some of those, and also document some of the other things that were going on in my vicinity.

A few days in Tromsø, Norway
It's been a long old while since I have written a travel related post, most recently would be my "digital nomad" boat experience for a year, and before that probably a very specific post on travelling from Santa Elena (Monteverde, Costa Rica) to Granada (Nicaragua) which was quite popular. I now know someone that Is about to head to Tromsø, Norway, and I was about to start writing up a private Google doc to share with what we did, how we did it, what it cost and some thoughts, but let's turn it into a blog post instead!

Editing Grokipedia, a first look
As a long time editor and developer in the Wikipedia and Wikimedia space, I'm of course sceptical about what Grokipedia is trying to be, and if it stands any chance of success. it may struggle to deliver the resilience, transparency, and community processes that keep projects like Wikipedia thriving, and in the early weeks the untouchable AI generated content was certainly not going to work moving forward.

Slop in, craft out?
Earlier today, I sent this absolutely perfectly crafted piece of slop into GitHub Copilot... Right, but i want thje patche sot be / and /* always And as I already expected, due to using these LLM based coding agents and assistants continually throughout their evolution, the resulting change was exactly what I wanted, despite the poor instructions. Now, I'm sure there is actually some difference, and likely this depends on the relevance of the typoed areas, and how often such typos might also appear in training data.

Profiling Wikibase APIs and import speed
There has been some recent chat once again on the Wikibase telegram groups around importing, and the best approach to import a large amount of data into a Wikibase instance. 2 years ago I started a little GitHub project aimed at profiling the speed of loading using the action API, and various settings, DB versions etc, as well as trying out a bulk load API.
