But how does it react to some yinzer drop kicking it because they think the robot overlords have arrived?

Just making the best of this holiday break by reliving my childhood by introducing my daughter to the fever dream that was the Californian Raisins Christmas Special.

I just want to know how folks get their cats to accept being on a leash. If anything resembling a collar enters my house, my cats just fall into the void like they no longer have legs πŸ˜‚.

Oh and if any of that sounded interesting to you. You can check it out at kubefeed.dev.
Consider it a v0.0.0, but interested if anybody else would find this useful or useful with a few extra features/filters.

But, was it functional? Absolutely. Did it let me focus on the value I was trying to build? πŸ’―. So it’s encouraging to see these agents and models maturing to the point where it does feel like an extra set of hands. Albeit occasionally an extra set of hands running with scissors.

Now, let’s be clear. There were times where the agents just got lost and I had to stub out some code to get them back on track. And the code that ended up being generated was fairly repetitive and will be something that could use some tidying in the future.

This was actually maybe one of the cooler parts here because I was able to continue on my merry way building the thing that I actually wanted while some agents cobbled together what was essentially a utility I needed for later.

After a few minutes of bootstrapping , I decided I wanted to focus more on the thing I wanted to actually build. So figured this was a good opportunity to gently yell at some machines and tell them to go do my work for me.

So I’ve been on a few side quests lately and have needed to do some work against Kubernetes release info. I’ve had to do this enough in the last that I decided it was time to just make something general purpose and something where I didn’t need to fight with GitHub rate limits and tokens 😬

Alright, I’ve finally made it. First off, how is it just as cold here as back home? Second, I’m going to drink ALL the sweet tea.

I just recently got done tearing down multiple walls after only the second layer of wallpaper.

So apparently your tolerance for the nonsense of former homeowners is higher than mine πŸ˜‚

Preparing for a talk and I forgot to grab a drink on the way. Did I just DoorDash two mountain dews from Dollar General? Absolutely.

We’re living in the future folks.

I could really use your help looking for Senior++ Technical Writer roles or intermediate++ Developer Relations roles. I'm looking to stay in Germany.

I'm also considering building up a freelance pipeline but realistically full time work makes my visa situation way easier.
