I just refactored my whole website into a completely new design without writing any code myself.

If you've been paying attention to the agentic coding space lately, you've probably come across the concept of a "ralph loop."

Before AI came along, my coding workflow was something like this: open up IntelliJ, checkout a branch, start coding.

If you're using agentic AI today, there's a good chance you're using Claude Code; and if you're using Claude Code, there's a good chance you've heard of, or maybe even used, subagents.

The standard server rack is 19 inches wide with 1.75 inch tall rack units.

As I said in a recent blog post I was planning on taking the CKA.

I've been working on a new section of the site for a bit and it's now ready to go.

The "small, but powerful, gaming machine" has seen a few new parts over the years but one of these parts (a new nvidia RTX 3080 ti founders edition) eventually pushed it beyond its cooling capabilities.

In episode 54 of the All-In podcast, Chamath brought up the idea of initiating a spread trade within big tech stocks as a way of protecting against a market downturn.

Lazy portfolios are a simple and safe way I've been using for some time to successfully invest in the market.

Performance is a common topic in computing, but it is especially common in the frontend world as the latest Javascript technologies battle for the frontend throne.

We've all experienced frustration with the internet going down.

There are many tools you can find for unminifying javascript code.

Have you ever wanted a computer that is fast and powerful but also small, sleek, and sexy?

One of the most important features that a website can have is a method to effectively search its content.

One of my goals with this new year has been to start writing more frequently, be it technical articles or just my thoughts and ramblings.
