R1D42 levops
As I approach the midpoint of my 100 Days of Code journey, I realize that I have spent a whole lot of time learning and not as much time as I would like actually making things.
Naturally, I am going to add to my long list of unfinished projects by creating a meta project called levops. This will be a collection of hacky dev tools that I find useful and hope others do as well.
I started working on a couple of things today.
- Wheater -- Webhook Eater? It is basically this blog post as a service.
- Crass -- Cron as a Service; this is already a bit more complex than I would have liked. Should be fun though.
- Flask-Boiler -- I love Flask. Every time I start a new project I find myself doing the same things over and over again. So I finally made some boilerplate that I will use for my projects going forward. Its very opinionated, but check it out if you are curious.
I also started a site to keep track of all these things over here: https://levops.net/

via Christopher Butler November 3, 2026Internet Archive’s alphabet
I love the Internet Archive, but I don’t love its interface. It’s just… not great all around, homely and confusing. It has some endearing qualities, harking back to the web of the 1990s without endless commerce and incessant growth hacking – Wikipedia feel...

Yesterday's hot paper was Sparks of Weight-Space Programming: LLMs can natively read & write neural network weights by Rikiya Takehi, Jayden Teoh, Alex Zhang, and Omar Khattab. The paper (OK, the authors classify is as a "blog post", but it's paper-shaped)...
