Michael #1: GreyNoise IP Check

GreyNoise watches the internet's background radiation—the constant storm of scanners, bots, and probes hitting every IP address on Earth.
Is your computer sending out bot or other bad-actor traffic? What about the myriad of devices and IoT things on your local IP?
Heads up: If your IP has recently changed, it might not be you (false positive).

Michael #3: TOAD is out

Toad is a unified experience for AI in the terminal
Front-end for AI tools such as OpenHands, Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and many more.
Better TUI experience (e.g. @ for file context uses fuzzy search and dropdowns)
Better prompt input (mouse, keyboard, even colored code and markdown blocks)
Terminal within terminals (for TUI support)

Brian #4: FastAPI adds Contribution Guidelines around AI usage

Docs commit: Add contribution instructions about LLM generated code and comments and automated tools for PRs
Docs section: Development - Contributing : Automated Code and AI
Great inspiration and example of how to deal with this for popular open source projects
- “If the human effort put in a PR, e.g. writing LLM prompts, is less than the effort we would need to put to review it, please don't submit the PR.”
With sections on
- Closing Automated and AI PRs
- Human Effort Denial of Service
- Use Tools Wisely

Blog posts about Talk Python AI Integrations
- Announcing Talk Python AI Integrations ****on Talk Python’s Blog
- Blocking AI crawlers might be a bad idea on Michael’s Blog
Already using the compile flag for faster app startup on the containers:
- RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/root/.cache uv pip install --compile-bytecode --python /venv/bin/python
- I think it’s speeding startup by about 1s / container.
