Working at lightbug.io on IoT things as Head of Clouds, after back from sailing “the world” aboard sailinghannahpenn.co.uk.

Previously a staff software engineer working for Wikimedia Deutschland on various projects including Wikibase, Wikidata and MediaWiki.

I use the username “addshore” in most places, such as GitHub, Mastodon, Twitter, Keybase & Wikimedia. Hence, the name of this site.

My side projects are numerous, and you can read about them on a dedicated page. Have a look at my latest posts or various projects. You can also get in touch with me using my contact page.

  • VS Code Copilot (Agent) vs Google Antigravity (Planning) & More
    Back in July 2025 I did a little comparison of various AI code assistants with a small Golang kata (with some content stripped out), and I’m back for a second attempt using the same kata, but focusing on some of the newer Copilot models, as well as cloud agents, and a run through with Google Antigravity. All runs have been screen recorded, very generic time metrics extracted, and the code is also all up in branches in the code repo … Read more
  • 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 … Read more

  • Easy fix for UK blocked imgur images on a wordpress site
    If you are like me, then I expect you have in the past at some point used https://imgur.com/ to upload a few images, and also used them on your WordPress site. But since some time in 2025 imgur blocked access to images for users of the UK. Instead of seeing the image, you just see something like the below instead, that says “Content not viewable in your region” with a little imgur logo in the bottom corner. You can read … Read more
  • 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. However, in the last week or so editing became an option, hidden behind … Read more
  • How much is “Wikibase Suite” (and deploy) used
    At the start of this year, I spent some time visualizing the Wikibase ecosystem by making use of the data that has been collected on wikibase.world. As part of that, I tried to focus in on Wikibase Suite, trying to determine how many possible installations there were making use of the container images, and or the newer Wikibase Suite Deploy thing. I came to the number 33, based on the fact that there were this many sites online on wikibase.world … Read more
