Who’s a good boy? DynaFetch always brings back the data you need. 🐕

For about a month leading up to #AU2025, I’ve been “Vide Coding” with my coding “bestie” Claude (from Anthropic) on our very first custom Dynamo package.

When GitHub announced their For the Love of Code summer hackathon, I knew exactly what they meant. Sometimes the best projects aren’t born from business requirements or feature requests, they come from that spark of “wouldn’t it be cool if…” that every developer knows.

The Ultimate Answer to Golf Score Tracking Needs

Today, I had one of those perfect coding sessions that reminded me why I fell in love with development in the first place. Working alongside Claude Sonnet 4 AI, I built and fine-tuned 🏌️‍♂️Par-Tracker 42 🤖, a web-based golf handicap calculator that embodies everything the “For the Love of Code” hackathon celebrates.
