Day 90 - got my RAG app working - upserted my vectors, implemented search, hooked up the Claude API to generate responses, and connected it to the frontend. Frontend needs a lot of work, but it’s functional!

A PHONE THAT FITS MY FUCKING HAND also a monitor that can switch between regular and eink FIGURE IT OUT

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

Day 89 of #100DaysOfCode: I did some more work on my RAG app today. Everything is importing and embedding just fine, but my vectors won’t upsert to Pinecone and I can’t for the life of me figure out why. I’m about to give up and just use @supabase.com instead

I got an entry level MacBook Air 4 last fall and have no regrets

Days 87-88: working on setting up embeddings for a small RAG project. It’d be cool if all the different docs sites didn’t contradict each other 🫠

Day 86 - more lessons from Whimsical Animations and do some reading about conditional layouts

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

I definitely copy and pasted my file to my notes app last night…

One day I'm going to fix the UI for rebase conflicts. But until then I'll just stare at this screen and wonder what "Current" and "Incoming" mean.

Mine was like, “oh, you have custom properties in your CSS and design tokens in Figma file? Ok, cool, I’ll just hard code your font sizes and colors in 73 different places.”

I mean my prompt was basically “use the figma MCP and use the designs, components, and tokens in this file” and I foolishly thought it might actually use the designs, components, and tokens in my file 🤷

Day 85 - feeling a bit burnt out, so keeping things light with some of the new lessons from Whimsical Animations. This course is so good.
#100DaysOfCode

For days 83 and 84 I decided to play around with Claude Code and let it make some updates to my site and my god did it ever screw up my CSS. Lesson learned that it apparently completely ignores instructions to use design tokens.

Do you know how much you have to suck to get me to side with the church?!

Days 80-82 of #100DaysOfCode
Some more portfolio work, a few more lessons from Anthropic Academy, and played around with Claude Code and Figma MCP

I know that the struggle is where the learning happens, but it was still super frustrating feeling like I lost an entire day.

Day 79 of #100DaysOfCode
I spent all day struggling with how to manage my attempt numbers so that they would automatically increment while still allowing users to go back to edit a previous attempt and ended up trashing almost everything *sigh*

Day 78 of #100DaysOfCode
I got the MVP of my powerlifting app working 🎉🎉🎉

There’s still a lot to work on, but the forms work and I’m able to create, read, and updated information in my database.
#BuildInPublic #LearnInPublic

Gen X collectively reliving Challenger, Columbia and Cold War nuclear holocaust anxiety all in the same week is a fucking lot, y'all.

Day 77 of #100DaysOfCode: Set up routing and figured out how to use params to capture the foreign key for my sessions table to connect to my attempt table. Spent way too much time trying to figure out how to clear a select when a form is submitted. Also watched the RAG section of Anthropic Academy

Day 77
Did more work on my side project - got my attempt form setup and added zod for server side validation. Also started adding in a bit of logic

Day 76 -
I played around on Codepen a reverse engineered a couple of pens. Made some small updates to the personal site. Started Anthropic Academy's Building with the Claude API course. Worked through a short course on AI engineering from parsity.

WebAIM: The WebAIM Million - The 2026 report on the accessibility of the top 1,000,000 home pages Search:

Web accessibility is moving backwards.

95.9% of homepages still fail WCAG and errors are rising. Complexity is outpacing inclusion. Accessibility must be built in, not bolted on.

Day 75 - today I wrapped up the SQL lessons on Scrimba and did some more css updates on my personal site

This is so, so well-articulated.

Transgender Woman Defies Kansas's Extreme Bathroom Ban In Act Of Civil Disobedience At State Capitol "I am very sorry that you and others have been put in this situation," Gov. Kelly said.

1. Throughout history, leaders have committed acts of civil disobedience to challenge unjust laws.

Add Samantha Boucher to that list.

Boucher walked into the Kansas Statehouse bathroom in front of police, deliberately violating one of the most extreme anti-trans law in the country.

Day 74 of the #100DaysOfCode. Today I worked on getting more forms created and pushing to the database. I feel like I worked several hours and barely accomplished anything. Hopefully the pieces will fall in place quickly going forward.
I also added @tina.io to my personal page.
