how would you make something like these old aqua wallpapers? 3d rendering? vector and gradients? i'm curious what the most "period correct" way would be. for that matter, what about the icons? the tutorials on how to make "aqua-like" pill buttons always felt wrong because the shading never quite followed the contour of the shape. how were they done back then, is it all hand-painted or is there a rendering technique i don't know about?

A.I. in everything is a first, and so welcome. And Liquid Glass is nothing short of revolutionary.

Modern #DevOps tooling assumes unlimited resources, and to hell with efficiency.

Upgrade? Destroy it and rebuild from scratch. Weird error? Destroy it and rebuild from scratch. Typo in the config? Destroy it and rebuild from scratch.

e.g. #docker *still* doesn’t have a way to rename volumes. You have to create a new one, copy the files across, then destroy the old. Don’t have double the disk space lying around? Then fuck off, peasant. Come back when you can afford a bigger box. 🤬

Rest in peace, Bill Atkinson. Thanks for everything.
