damn Johnathan Blow is not afraid to give you the cold hard opinions. If you want to be good you need to spend your early most formative years doing hard things, because you will not do it later, then goes on to say you should not do anything related to web development during that time as it will rot your brain.

Thorsten is always a great listen with well thought out answers. I thought the advice “all you have to be is good” from his is so great, so many people focus too hard on credentials and certificates, they miss the time in the saddle and raw, just being good at what you do. They talk a lot about industry trends and that…

“All you have to be is good”
Not sure if this is a quote from somewhere but thought it was some interesting advice that @thorstenball received when he was starting into web development. He asked a friend already in the industry if he thought he had a shot. He had no degree, no credentials, no experience at the time.

remember rule 4
I almost for got Rules 4 today, rollout when smooth late in the day right before a vacation day (terrible time to deploy I admit not my clearest plan). Race conditions are a b****, all around on this one. The app I was concerned about won the race to deploy first and was fine by itself, then another app had a race condition inside itself that killed it

agents are never done
Agentic coding has this nice trick of letting you bang out a project in an afternoon, something complex that would have take some real time to implement, not just some rounding error that can slip right in between the jira board. Then it will be perpetually never done. There will always be bugs and thorns rear their he…

Prime on Big A they make a really great mix. I really like primes perspective on the layoffs here. Adding in an ops perspecive a bit here.

I just learned that forgejo has a push to create repo feature and it is a gamechanger. Upon first try it didn’t work, with just a couple of environment variables I was up and running with push to create.
notify.wayl.one on main is 📦 v0.1.62 v3.14.4 NO PYTHON VENV SET USING SYSTEM NVIM
❯ git remote add origin https://git.waylonwalker.com/waylon/notify.wayl.one
notify.wayl.one on main is 📦 v0.1.62 v3.14.4 NO PYTHON VENV SET USING SYSTEM NVIM
❯ git push
remote: Push to create is not enabled for users.
fatal: unable to access 'https://git.waylonwalker.com/waylon/notify.wayl.one/': The requested URL returned error: 403
So I added the following environment variables.

nless is a seriously sick tui for exploring streaming data. It makes it seriously simple to pivot (U), drill in (Enter), sort (s). It leave breadcrumbs as you go and you can press q to back out.
Play with your kubernetes events. Ya, my homelab is far from perfect, dont judge.
kubectl get events -A -w | uvx --from nothing-less nless

markata-go now has web awesome integration for image compare. It renders a
nice web component with a slider to compare two images.
It’s done with a class wrapper around the image components.

Without markata-go’s web awesome integration, the above would look like:

Today I found a way to test model syntax, cause the clankers always get the exact model name that copilot wants wrong.
copilot --model claude-sonnet-4.5 -p "Reply with OK" --allow-all --no-ask-user -s
copilot --model gpt-5.4 -p "Reply with OK" --allow-all --no-ask-user -s
