Review and approve trending
Barely a single day after getting my review and approve publishing software fully working, and the White House annouces some sort of regime where they will review and approve AI models. I will file this away in the, at this stage, unbelievably large "what are the chances" folder. #

Recording integration test fixtures
Long day today, but managed to fix all the integration tests that had broken during the latest refactor. It‘s nice to finish the day with the latest build running smoothly. I had to re-record all the test fixtures, but that‘s been made a lot easier following recent changes I made. Previously I had to create all the test mocks by hand, which was really laborious and error prone, but now it‘s all automatic. Anyway, nice to have some progress :) #

More refactoring, more integration tests
This is another one of those test posts. I‘ve been busy with more refactoring of my blogging software. This time I‘ve been getting the integration tests working correctly. Thankfully the developer tools and libraries are pretty great. It‘s a bit laborious to get things setup initially and the LLMs have sent be down several pretty bad dead ends. But things are progressing well in general. #
