One forever-project of mine is (classic) redesign of my personal website: I started this like 2 years ago. It's just an excuse for me to tinker around. But one depressing realization: The design – even though predating claude code – looks very much like design-by-claude due to the color choices 😭

Did a @firefox.com update and suddenly tab container UI breaks and current tab has some ugly gradients due to “biggest visual refresh in years” www.firefox.com/en-US/firefo...

I hate these sticky menubars that are "floating in the middle of the page" (like seen on AWS pages).

Well, in the end it took the whole evening to build this ”new” desk setup, but it was worth it 🤩 Only new things are my DIY desk shelf / organizer and some ambient lights behind both displays. The camera and video lighting setup is not final one, but pretty close to my plans.

Rust. Apparently much of the functionality required to implement Amazon Aurora DSQL has been written in Rust. For correctness & safety. #rust #aws #reinvent

Arrived yesterday late evening to Las Vegas for AWS re:Invent 2024! I did “what the doctor ordered”: Had a looong sleep & then got some sunshine ☀️ What the doc definitely did NOT order, but I did: Way too big breakfast at Denny's 😋 Now all badged up & ready for Monday! #awsreinvent #awscommunity
