Has been a while since I wrote about agentic engineering, so this time around some learnings of maintaining Pi as a junior maintainer to @badlogicgames :)
I finally managed to automate my IKEA IDÅSEN desk. I can now make it go to my favorite position via two shell commands (stand-up/sit-down) without having to keep buttons pressed.
Today in timezone madness: Lebanon had a last minute announcement of DST postponement. The Olson database complied. Now there is a dispute if it happens, and *parts* of the government reversed it. The country now has two timezones concurrently depending on who you ask.
Fascinating. Audi's car configurator uses webrtc to stream the 3D view from some remote rendered service instead of using WebGL in the browser. Really want to know what lead to that engineering decision. The latency is awful and the render quality is quite low resolution.
I think GraphQL is quickly moving to one of my least favorite technologies. Building an efficient query system for the server is almost writing a database and as a user it has a lot of rough edges. Good idea but man is it complex.
