Rather than using Sourcehut’s builds to deploy my changes to Dailymuse, I’ve replaced it with a bash script that I run locally. It triggers the release to Hatchbox and monitors it from my terminal. I’ve written bash scripts before, but nothing like this. Really happy with the way it turned out.
I have another opportunity to use Kamal to deploy and manage a Rails application. Definitely going to run with it this time. I struggled a bit the first time, but I am coming around to its benefits and the reduced cost.
Ben Child’s Top 10 Superhero movies of all time certainly gets you thinking about what constitutes a superhero movie. I agree with some of the choices and disagree with others, but I love that he included Dredd in his top 10. I never considered it to be a superhero movie myself, but it clearly is.
I’m not on board with a fully automated agent-driven programming process. It might have its uses in certain scenarios, but as a solo developer, I have my own process. Research and write a detailed prompt, review and refine the results, and ship the final code when I am good and ready.
A fantastic day of golf for Drew and me today. We both played great today, and the weather was fantastic. Roll on the summer!
We’re watching the live mission coverage of Artemis II on YouTube as they begin their lunar observations. Amazing that even now, there are still landmarks on the moon that we are just seeing for the first time.
Enjoyed a spot of ten-pin bowling this afternoon and grabbed some dinner from Wingstop. I finished last in each bowling game, but at least I couldn’t lose with my choice of wings for dinner.
I’ve started keeping a section on my website called the den, for things I look up often. There are just a couple of pages here so far, but I expect it will grow gradually. It’s not in the website’s main navigation bar for a good reason, but I may share it here from time to time.
Cancelling my GitKraken.dev subscription this morning, as I no longer use it. What should be a straightforward process has turned into contacting support to stop them from trying to renew my subscription and cancel my account. You would think a dev support company would have this covered.
The Artemis II tracker is fantastic. Going to be keeping an eye on this for the rest of the mission.
Although Artemis II is only travelling to the moon, the distance is still vast, and even if it is currently travelling at around 1.24km per second, it will still take four days to reach the moon.
