snow-fall Web Component—zachleat.com — A post by Zach Leatherman (zachleat)

This is a very fun way to add some whimsy to your site, added it to mine immediately when I saw it. This is what digital gardens are for, Fun, entertainment, and self-exxpression.

Note

This post is a thought. It’s a short note that I make about someone else’s content online #thoughts

💭 Ghostty is leaving GitHub

news.ycombinator.com

The GitHub tears post. I feel it, maybe not as much as @mitchelh, but I feel it.

💭 Red Squares — the GitHub outage graph

red-squares.cian.lol

yet another interesting visualization of github outages. These guys are getting raked over the coals. It really sucks to see. Not quite tears to my eyes mitchelh. But it feels like a core part of opensource has been dying for a few years now and is now getting ripped to shreds. The central location for open source is becoming more fragmented and I don’t see a path to where it ever gets any better.

💭 Desktop Crash 2026

pype.dev

I’m taking this as a reminder to treat every machine like its about to catch fire, any machine with a user regularly using it already has the match lit. I need to go through and commit draft blog posts, dirty homelab POC’s need to get out or get in, and not forever be in limbo. My efforts this year have been well intention ed to keep projects clean, on main, not dirty, but I think agents are making it worse before they make it better. I have some new ideas forming and old ideas for managing this have failed me.

💭 ARTEMIS II PHOTO TIMELINE

artemistimeline.com

Hank Greed made a really cool site to explore the Artemis II mission with Claude Code. Now this is what agentic coding is for, such a cool app to scroll around on and visualize when the photos were taken. Listening to the video is sounded really hard to get all of the data to line up correctly, between devices and timezones it ws not straightforward even though all of the schedules and images were made public.

💭 Hacker News RSS

almost left tokens on the table #

Almost didn't get through those gippity tokens this week, woke up yesterday with 50% and a day to use them, cut full 5.4 loose on a big project that needs a lot of work an it gobbled em right up throughout the day ran out just before bed.

Can You Feel the Slop #

Do you ever vibe code out a POC, and you can just feel the shitty code underneath? Every change causes 3 things to break and wires get crossed all over the place. Sometimes I just want to write the code again. Maybe its time to slow down.

approve rm #

Hot take, if you are unwilling to approve rm you should rethink your workflow, git state, or backups.

Note

This is meant for normal project work with an agent working in the context of a single project, with directory level access to the project.

Ping 54 #

I'm regressing back to boomer ai for more plan mode style prompting at home... It does a decent job at ingesting a repo and coming up with plans before I start spending precious tokens.

Tokens Just don't go as far as they used to #

Not sure if this is simply the flavor of the month, or a shift in gpt5.4 being super subsidized on release and now that we have gpt5.4-mini-fast out they have shifted, but I'm burning through half of my $20 gippity sub in a day with hobby level use. Second week in a row its burning so fast.
