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.

I really wish I would have got this right a few years ago. Theres a couple of flags I had to use to get mdformat to do hard wraps at 80 characters and not wreck tables. This mix of flags and plugins is workign really well for me so far.

mdfmt() {
    uvx \
        --with "mdformat-ruff" \
        --with "mdformat-beautysh" \
        --with "mdformat-web" \
        --with "mdformat-config" \
        --with "mdformat-gfm" \
        --with "mdformat-front-matters" \
        --with "mdformat-wikilink" \
        --with "mdformat-simple-breaks" \
        mdformat \
        --wrap 80 \
        --end-of-line lf \
        --codeformatters python \
        --codeformatters bash \
        "$@"
}

And as pre-commmit.

Opencode is changing on the daily right now, today I noticed the word low pop up in Orange text in my opencode window. Looking into this they are exposing variants to the user. This allows you to change between fast or slow and thinking, the later taking more time to prepare before doing an action.

It looks like this toggle may have been here for awhile and I’m just now discovering it. Potentially because its a new feature of the free Zen provider.

Variants Many models support multiple variants with different configurations. OpenCode ships with built-in default variants for popular providers.

Built-in variants OpenCode ships with default variants for many providers:

Anthropic:

high - High thinking budget (default) max - Maximum thinking budget OpenAI:

Varies by model but roughly:

none - No reasoning minimal - Minimal reasoning effort low - Low reasoning effort medium - Medium reasoning effort high - High reasoning effort xhigh - Extra high reasoning effort Google:

low - Lower effort/token budget high - Higher effort/token budget
