Built a website from scratch for the first time in years. Used AI this time.
1. No framework, all custom JS and CSS
2. There's less CSS and JS from when I use a framework
3. Built it much faster than I used to
It was a great experience.

Fleet, the project underpinning Ranchers CD system, might be the most scaleable #Kubernetes based gitops tool.

Did you know the automotive auxiliary power outlet (cigarette lighter) in cars can put out more power than the USB outlets usually do?
With USB you often get 1a at 5v (even usb-c outlets). With the auxiliary outlet you often get much more.
