When you try to write or speak about something you quickly realize where your holes in understanding are.\n\n> Blogging helps me learn. When I commit knowledge to writing it reinforces what I know and shines a spotlight on what I don’t. Most topics require additional research.

I was not far off of his setup before he really came on the scene, but I've picked up a ton of nuggets from him and how he operates. I took his first developer productivity course on Front End Masters as it came out. \n\nIt is interesting to see him roll back his ansible scripts for bash scripts here. I converted my setup to ansible after watching his first, but have also since rolled back to bash scripts for quite similar reasons. Ansible is great for remote tasks that need to be done on a fleet of machines, but like he says here overkill for this purpose and ends up something that you need to read the docs for every change to your dotfiles.\n\nUnlike prime I've really leaned harder on installing everything in a docker image and developing out of a docker image. I've long built docker images of my dotfiles with the idea that its nice to be able to just use them on other machines, but it rarely happened. \n\nIn the past year I've moved bazzite, an immutable distro. It comes with podman and distrobox, so I install very little on it, a few flatpaks from the store for brave and signal, but most of what I really use day to day comes from my devtainer. It's nice that I really have one install target for all of my scripts so they become quite stable. I don't need to worry about arch vs ubuntu vs fedora, no matter where I am its the same base image.\n\nI've also really started to lean on kubernetes, it is so useful to just be able to start a pod in k8s using the same exact develop setup as I would have locally.

If you are a webdev who solely lives in webdev space and never touches as much as a dockerfile listen to him.

I'd like to see more examples here. Maybe most of the code bases I work on already do this. I've never targeted a serverless deployment, but I've targeted horizontally scaled deployments many times and they feel like they have the same targets. For instance if I spin up 8 pods for my application or uvicorn with 3 workers I have to target statelessness, all of the state must live in the database and cannot live in memory. Even if I target 1 instance in a containerized environment I have to be ready for restarts at any point in time.\n\nI might be missing something here, but I don't see how this point applies to serverless.\n\n## Scale to Zero Services\n\n![image](https://dropper.wayl.one/api/file/a06523f8-35e1-46cf-83b8-fd6be0831d93.webp)\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VQl_HTk9PM&t=2607s\n\nCompanies that can run on scale to zero can allow your shitty side projects that have no users run for free indefinitely because it costs them nothing.

It feels like he is missing the angle of owning your own hardware. This might just be the experience difference between theo and DHH. DHH works on one focused company, Theo is jumping around between startups.\n\n## Ok I get some of it\n\nAt the end he covers a dumb side project that has branch deploys. It had a 100s of deploy still running, some very old, some never even touched, vercel can do this because it costs them nothing if its not running. What I didn't think about right away is that there is probably a backend component to this. \n\nIn my python backends I often have deploy environments, but since they don't scale to zero they have at least some cost even if its small, with this I cannot just keep hundreds of them running because that cost would add up.\n\nI would argue that this is hardly useful, because you can checkout any old version and run it locally, and you rarely are going to need to poke through these old branch deploys.

If you’re afraid of a Friday deploy, your system is too brittle, or you don’t have foolproof rollback procedures, or you don’t have people you trust on call to resolve it. Each of these is a problem that you can fix.\n\nThis one I find interesting I think there are some industries where customers come in large waves over the weekend, and a weekend bug can not only ruin someones day off, take longer to fix, but also cost a lot of money.\n\nNot deploying on Friday is totally what that team should be doing.\n\nMost of us are not that team. Most of us work on small teams supporting some sort of product that Should be able to be tested and rolled back. I completely agree with Jake here, if your not willing to deploy on Friday you are not confident in your product. You need to work on better testing, rollback strategies, and feature flagging is what you need.\n\nI've also been on teams where we don't deploy in the middle of the day or right before we leave for vacation because we are early, our customers are important to us, and we accept that we have not hit our marks yet on the ability to swiftly recover from some downtime so risk is high.","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2024-06-01T00:48:21.580477","id":290,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"Be Fast | Jake Worth","link":"https://www.jakeworth.com/posts/be-fast/","tags":"catalyst","message":"Be Fast, Practice, Hone your craft.

The percent sign % indicates that the operation should be performed across the entire file, not just the current line 2.\n\\(here\\) is a capturing group that matches the word \"here\". The parentheses \\( and \\) are used to define a group, and the content inside them is what the group will match 3.\n\\(.*\\) is another capturing group that matches any sequence of characters. The .* inside the group is a wildcard that matches any character (except a newline), and the * quantifier means \"zero or more of the preceding element\". So, this group will match any sequence of characters 2.\n\\(there\\) is yet another capturing group that matches the word \"there\". This group will match the word \"there\" that appears after the word \"here\" and any sequence of characters 3.\n/\\3\\2\\1 is the replacement part of the command. Here, \\3, \\2, and \\1 are backreferences to the matched groups. They correspond to the words \"there\", any sequence of characters, and \"here\", in that order. So, this command replaces the matched pattern with the word \"there\", followed by any sequence of characters, and ending with the word \"here\" 4.\nSo, in summary, this command searches for the pattern \"here\", followed by any sequence of characters, and ending with \"there\", and replaces it with the same pattern but reversed (\"there\", followed by the original sequence of characters, and ending with \"here\").\n\nI used this techniq on [[ refactoring-into-wikilinks ]].","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2024-01-26T17:21:06.241592","id":200,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"Java - ArchWiki","link":"https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/java#Switching_between_JVM","tags":"java","message":"Today I learned that arch has a helper script `archlinux-java` to set the version of java.\n\n\n``` bash\narchlinux-java status\narchlinux-java set \n```","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2024-01-26T13:37:36.843707","id":199,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"charmbracelet/mods: AI on the command line","link":"https://github.com/charmbracelet/mods","tags":"llm, ai","message":"This is a pretty sweet interface into llms.
