TIL how home assistant actually works...
A extension blocked the entire home assistant system after hitting some bugs. Then I corrupted the factory reset process by resetting the device while it was still restoring. Eventually I learned how to disable the bad extension and recover the device.

My dad's HA Green got stuck as well. He was suddenly in a home being heated to 27ยฐC. ๐

Slowly opening up my calendar again for bookings. This means I will be available for hire starting now.

Added code highlighting support to my wagtail based blog.
Pretty happy with the first result.
I wrote down what I like like about the deploy tool Kamal:

I came across a weird linkedin post. In 2026 rescue engineering is a hot commodity.
2026 will be a good year. ๐
Vibe coding is a joke that just cost another founder $300K. AI coding traffic collapsed 76% in 12 weeks globally. 10,000 startups hit the complexity wall, creating a $4B crisis. Base44 spiked 950% in May, crashed 95% by October. Lovable went from +207% to -37%. Cursor dropped from +62% to -19%. Massive adoption surge, then 60-80% decay in three months. Vibe coding is good for demos. Itโs terrible for production. That difference is bankrupting startups and even enterprise AI initiatives. Thousands of founders fell for the marketing and PR. "AI replaces senior engineers." "Code equals product." "Architecture can be outsourced to autocomplete." These tools made prototypes fast and easy. Integration, governance, security, and reliability stayed hard. Most founders and larger companies who went all-in are paying the rebuild tax: $200-300K in senior engineering costs. 4-8 months of re-architecture. $30-150K monthly burn during rebuilds. They got MVPs working. Then everything broke when real users showed up. The math: 10,000 startups experimented with AI coding. 8,000 require rebuilds or architectural rescue. Budgets range $50K-500K each. Total cleanup market: $400M-$4B. Iโm not talking about about senior engineers using Cursor effectively. It's about founders and businesses who started initiatives and hit the wall. And theyโll need a way out. We're entering the first AI-generated technical debt crisis. In 2026, rescue engineering will be a hot commodity. A whole generation of startups shipped prototypes as products. AI let everyone build software. Now everyone learns what it costs to make software actually work. Your product might secretly be a demo. Your users will find out eventually. Better to rebuild before they force it. Plan your rebuild before your users discover you need one. And budget for senior engineers the moment you get traction. AI can write code, but it cannot design systems. The vibe coding tax always comes due. The only question is whether you pay it before or after your customers leave. | 633 comments on LinkedIn
I revisited my company website.
Still pretty basic, but a good step forward from the old one.
It does not promote Scrum any longer. It is my new place for personal and professional blogs and it includes tracking... ๐
I do feel however that it needs a professional designer. It all looks pretty boring.
Some people can build really nice websites which have good content and which are fun to visit.
https://alpine-ajax.js.org/
is one of them.
This seems to be the next best thing after HTMX.
