It's not the engineering effort that's killed easter eggs, it's the corporate culture. The "millenial gray" of software.

This was a thought experiment, and with the help of Claude I turned it into a real experiment. Just a curiousity really, but it also brings back that sweet blogosphere nostalgia for me (the admin panel mentions technorati).

This works! It's a musical Linux user's dream!

You know, there's a good chance that my Claude scraped this. Also it needs way more image and way less map. I care more about browsing the gallery/stuff than where it is physically.

If you live outside San Francisco, you might not necessarily see all the _absolutely ridiculous_ AI startup billboards along the highway and throughout the city. The marketing copy is so "inside baseball" that sometimes I don't really know what it would mean to "Observe MDP workflows. With an agent".
Here's a vibe coded website poking fun at them.

I think I will always get more fulfillment from the rush of leaving work a bit early on a Friday afternoon, knowing I have a couple of plans for the weekend but not being too busy, picking up a treat for my wife and I on the way home, when the weather is good (cool and crisp or partly sunny and dry), and the city is alive; I will get more satisfaction from that feeling than any "dream" I could imagine.

Reminds me when Toy Story 2 was deleted and they found the backups on an artist's laptop that was working from home.

TODO: 1. Automate registering the domain 2. Automate setting up the DNS 3. Better automate deploying to Netlify (Claude kind of choked on this one)
I also used my trick of immediately changing the Namechep NS records to AWS Route 53, to avoid getting a parking page and having to wait for an hour TTL to expire.
The most frustrating part was waiting for Netlify to figure out the Let's Encrypt cert. It takes ages and I have to manually recheck. Fix this Netlify! (If anyone from Netlify is reading this, it seems like I click "veryify DNS" it says "Success!" but if I reload the page it asks me to verify again).
Time spent: ~30 minutes Total cost: - Claude: $0.56 - Domain: 12 bucks of course ;) - Hosting (Netlify): $0.00
