A better approach is to use the Docker Sandboxes feature. Locks things way down so that the agent only has access to the files you give it and you can lock down its network access too. Also does things like keep any credentials outside of the container (microvm actually).
Re SVG export it is on the list.
But as some comments below point out, an OpenAPI spec is a pain to create manually which is why TypeSpec from Microsoft is such a great tool. Lets you focus on the important bits of creating a solid API (model, consistency, best practices) in an easy to use DSL that spits out a fully documented OpenAPI spec to build against! see https://typespec.io/
My day job is basically to be a "force multiplier" and it boils down to:
- cat herding = meetings, discussions, negotiation, "shoulder to cry on" = way more soft skills then I ever thought I'd need
- Big picture stuff = "town planning" for tech, second order thinking, pulling together cohesive plans/strategies, principles, constraints = way harder to effectively communicate this stuff than my younger stuff would have thought
- rapid altitude changes = dropping from the 10000ft view down to helping a team troubleshoot some production issue, helping a junior dev with a code issue, solving a dispute between devs, hands on evaluation of some new tech, then jumping back up to talk to a leadership team about some new grand strategy, or to planning out a multi year program of work = a ton of skills that my younger self would have never have guessed at, finance, budgets, "business" language, operating models along with keeping my technical skills sharp
In terms of resources:
- Anything around learning to story tell and communicate effectively
- The "97 Things Every Software Architect Should Know" essays
- Your tech skills - write PoC apps, side-projects, try out new tech, learn to quickly grok strengths & weaknesses of tech
* Reference manuals shipped with compiler and good reference books were gold
* You could learn the entire API/SDK/Framework and keep it in your head
* Blocks of assembly were a legit way to improve your code's performance
* OOP was hitting mainstream along with all the new ideas and approaches (and pain) it entailed
* Turbo Pascal rocked for DOS development
* Source control was iffy/non-existent
* I loved it
