Visiting parents and their aging house is an exercise in yak shaving. Replacing a bulb in a yard light, I bumped the siding and it fell off, fixing the siding required some sealant, all the sealant was old and it exploded out the side. Going depth first would mean a dark work site with broken glue.

How about making GitHub not go down every other day rather than some agent thing that I assume sucks?

How about making GitHub not go down every other day rather than some agent thing that I assume sucks?
Is there a local first CI yet? It'd be nice if there was a cryptographic way to ensure CI checks were actually ran on someone else's computer. Someone surely is puttin' this "on da chain"
I wrote some words on how one could write iOS app UI Tests in rust. https://simlay.net/posts/2026-01-rust-xctesting/ Could have just as easily titled it "hacks on hacks". Also, I should make my site more mobile friendly.
It’s becoming clear to me that AI is mostly cool if I have it and no one else does.
I've been trying out Ollama to self-host LLMs on my archlinux box. The thing I've noticed is how many non-engineers are creating/commenting on the GitHub issues. It kinda feels like the blind leading the blind.
In an early iteration of the internet, we built web APIs allowing engineers to write software against it and automate stuff. These days, the best (least bad) way to do this is wire up playwright and an AI agent and pray or something.

I really need to keep a notepad of future tweet/skeet/toots. I don't need my recently learned lessons to trigger repercussions in my current situation.
"Watching" smaller dependencies on GitHub has taught me so much useful random crap. Basically any vim plugin or non-mainstream repo I use, I follow.
