TBH I didn't get far enough into it to draw deep conclusions - I had enough trouble with various scaffolding bits that it was getting time consuming to pursue. The ones that completed looked good though-and I guess there's not reason why they'd not if the prompt, agent, and model are the same? wdyt?
First I knew nothing and so had Claude code up its own eval harness [1]. Then I found Harbor and tried that out [2]. I still don't know much, but I know a _little_ bit more now :)

What happens when a non-Java dev (me!) uses Claude Code to build a connector for Kafka Connect from scratch? A working JAR, apparently…

aq: a jq-like tool to query table-oriented data files. Supports Apache Arrow, Parquet, CSV and NDJSON. Written in #RustLang by my friend @anaethelion.bsky.social github.com/Anaethelion/aq
It covers subjects including Iceberg, Kafka, Flink, data engineering (including some really juicy articles this month), the grief cycle of AI, is MCP still hot or not (yes), and so, so much more ✨
And just like that, it's time for March's Interesting Links in the Data and AI World!
