I’ve finally pulled the trigger on a 3D printer — a Bambu Lab A1 Mini. This is something I’ve wanted for a long time, years of watching other people’s prints show up online and thinking “I should really get one of those” before actually doing anything about it.

Went with the A1 Mini over the bigger models mainly for the price and the smaller footprint — it doesn’t take up much desk space, and it felt like a sensible way to dip a toe in without committing to a huge enclosed printer before I know how much I’ll actually use it.

Taking Antigravity for a spin

Been using Claude Code as my daily driver for a few days now, so when Google’s Antigravity CLI showed up I figured it was worth a proper look rather than just reading the launch blog post. Ran it side by side with Claude Code on the same kind of day-to-day work — repo exploration, small fixes, the usual — to see how the two actually compare in practice rather than on paper.

A Hugo repo hadn’t been looked at properly in a while

This blog is just Hugo content and a vendored theme — no app code, nothing exciting — which is exactly the kind of repo that quietly accumulates small rot nobody notices because nothing ever actually breaks the build. Spent a session pointing Claude Code at it to find and fix that rot.

Started with a straight status check: a couple of generated CSS cache files showing as deleted (build artifacts that shouldn’t have been tracked in the first place) and a stray uncommitted edit sitting inside the ananke theme submodule from as far back as November 2024. Both restored/reverted to get back to a clean tree before touching anything else.
