Background Patterns with CSS `corner-radius` – Master.dev Blog You might need to know this someday: you can style a div, put the div into SVG, then put the SVG in to CSS and use it as a repeating background. frontendmasters.com These patterns are really good. I like a good repeating background on a website. Takes me back to the old days of web, but with a nice crispness that was never there on sites of old

Gradient Keycap Results
The gradient keycaps turned out pretty good, but I'm not sure what I did wrong with the interface between the raft and the caps, that came out ** rough, but the effect works.
Camp Rock Sign
Camp Rock Sign all put together, by the fabulous Rhiannon, the letters came out great, her work on the built is amazing, cant wait to see it lit up.
Gradient Keycaps In Bambu Studio
I have an idea for gradient keycaps using tri colored filliment, I'm excited to see how it turns out.

Pm Not Babysitter

Stop babysitting your agents, treat them like a real team and they will reward you. Back in December I saw theo make a comment that code is now cheap, its the run rate of models, He quoted a study, not sure that he fully even believed it, but it claimed that the average developer after all meetings, training, emails, planning and extra shit in their day averages out 10 well tested lines of code per day. Opus 3.5 made him 10k loc (lines of code) that day. We have all agreed for decades that lines of code is not a proxy to productivity or quality. Often more code means more risk, more review, more infrastructure. This has become MUCH different. Lines of code are still far from any sort of good metric. That aside, your agents are not doing 10k lines with you babysitting them, and in fact its very likely that the product quality is MUCH worse as you babysit them. You need a tool for planning and tracking, otherwise you are playing babysitter rather than Product Manager (PM).

Like a dufus this morning I did a hard reset on a git repo for getting I was working on a manifest for. You see I generally use argo, but occasionally I have no idea what I am doing or want yet and I start raw doggin it, fully aware that I’m going to just nuke this namespace before getting it into a proper argocd.

I was overjoyed when I found out that you can diff your manifests with live production using the kubectl diff command. It uses standard diff so you can bring all your fancy diff viewers you like.

# regular manifest
kubectl diff -f k8s/shots -n shot
# kustomize
kubectl diff -k k8s -n go-waylonwalker-com
# using a fancy diff viewer
kubectl diff -f k8s/shots -n shot | delta
# using an even fancier diff viewer
# pinkies out for this one
kubectl diff -f k8s/shots -n shot | delta --diff-so-fancy

Now I can get those changes back that I thought I lost, and apply updates with confidence knowing what is about to change.

The shovelware cometh Batten down the hatches. "Show Hacker News" signals the coming flood. 🌊 Jerod Santo · jerodsanto.net Not surprising theirs a lag, between the models getting better, the tools getting better, and the masses getting better at using them, it takes time. This is still quite a hockey stick. I’m wondering how many are not posting on Show HN embarrassed they built something they know nothing about and afraid to get questions. I have no idea how anyone would get this ratio, but if I were a betting man, Id bet the ratio of build/show went way up. Plus we are probably getting a ton of people who have never heard of HN start building cool bespoke things for themselves and thats it, they use it, they love it, they might tell/show a friend.

I taught wyatt #bada55 green, I apologize in advance, I underestimate the power of immature humor has on him.

dax (@thdxr) on X finally got around to setting up an always on opencode server so i can run sessions on any device from anywhere takes a few minutes - showed it off here X (formerly Twitter) · x.com I tried this flow [of running an opencode server on tailscale] on day one of getting opencode, I wanted to prompt from my phone while were were running lights at the theater. It kinda worked, but the ui was really bad on phone, hard to use and the experience overall–it felt buggy. Happy to see they are making improvements and it might now be ready for some real use. https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/file/9065fcb2-5e40-479c-967e-498bc9bb6a4f.mp4
