Came home today after picking up the kiddo at school. My wife, still in her PJs, smiling at me. I melted. One of those core memories right there. Such an amazing woman. ❤️

That was all whilst I sat in the car, and just did this:

2nd in line... pffff. I need to talk to my boss!

Dev Ops — 2026 edition.

At this rate, I need to stop freelancing last month ago… 😕

I should add a note to my site error messages (500's) to say that a fix will be automatically deployed within 60 minutes and that they should try again then. 🤪 Had a real issue at 3 AM, was fixed (after triage) and deployed 20 minutes later. Zero sleep lost. Just wonderful.

Web push notifications seem to work.

Working on something... very slowly.

My projects can now talk to each other, including talk to other machines that are set up. Great for when things need tweaking across different spaces as they are all connected.

every. single. time.

👀 Basically a closed loop now. Sentry connected, server logs streaming on the Watch. Mint!

My lead agent can choose what model to use for any given task (based on the project and personal configs). Pretty cool.

For the record, I never had a "big tech" app be able to back up my photos all weekend and just keep going in the background over hours and days.

At this stage, I am just thinking to get into game dev and physical products. Physical already in the works BTW!

Should I deploy? Hmm. Seems a bit behind haha.

"Erm, yes sir, I made my very own agent harness. Here it is." Most software is so boring. WHY IS IT BORING???

I think I made the absolute BEST iCloud Photo backup app ever created. I had Google Photos for a while, but my was it bad. And not to sound too slop: The best bit, it is just for me. Such a great time. Don't even want to launch it for others. Just me, me & me.
