DHH has such great takes on it, some I had never fully thought about.  He starts out with should we have people study niche topics (using Russian Poetry as an example).  Yes the world deserves people who can make their life works out of something that brings them and many other so much joy, but no you probably shouldn't go 100k's into debt to do it.  Should I get a software engineering degree, or become a doctor also have similar answers, it needs to be somewhat justified and not outrageous as has become the norm.\n\nWe used to listen in to Dave Ramsey on long car rides and he would have people call in and say, they went half a million dollars into debt to become a dentist, only to discover they did not want to do dentistry.  At this point it's too bad, you gotta suck it up and pay that off with something that makes some serious cash, and the only skill you probably got that can bring in that level of cash is ... dentistry.\n\nThey dive into the college experience, learning to have adult debates with classmates about which direction a project should go or how to complete it.  Great stuff!\n\nSomething I had never put thoughts to is how do you feel when class is cancelled or an assignment is removed.  Are you excited to \"not have to do it\"?  I'd bet that most people do.  That's probably a good sign that you are there for the wrong reasons.  What other industry do you pay a f*** ton of money for a product and be like nah ill just take the receipt, you keep the thing.\n\nThis all just gets your foot in the door.  If you spent none of that time learning it will become apparent really fast and you will not climb the ladder.  Yes climbing the corp ladder is cliche, but at some point you probably want paid more and get opportunity to make more decisions.  And if it turns out you really suck, you're going to find yourself looking for a new job with no skill and a big pile of student debt sitting behind you.\n\nStudent debt is probably one of the biggest issues of our generation that only appears to be getting worse, everything signals your need to go to college, presige is important.  It feels like the other side is filled with glory lots of money and you will have all that debt paid off in no time.  I get it when you're 18 and you see 50k or 100k in student debt, but 80k or 150k salaries on the other side its like damn I make nothing right now I'll have that paid off in no time.

I run a 42 key keyboard so things can get a bit cramped quickly.

At the end of the day, ChatGPT, and LLMs in general, are the same thing as the regression model – it’s just that ChatGPT is the largest and fanciest model we currently have to model language and information.\n\n\nI really am coming to the idea of calling it a \"word calculator\", this seems to be the most succinct description of llms that the lay person can comprehend and relate to.\n\n> ChatGPT does not hallucinate or become unhinged\n\nI think Steve goes much deeper on this in his [intervew on fafo.fm](https://www.fafo.fm/vectorizing-your-databases-with-steve-pousty/).  They describe it more as a pleaser or \"yes man\"  essentially all the companies that are building these models want to give the \"best\" answer, better than their competitors.  With this comes the risk of it being completely wrong, they are designed to always give an answer.\n\nOn that episode they talk about how each word has a statistical probability tied to it and in some visualizations you can see the confidence, in almost every example of \"hallucination\" you will find some set of very poor confidence followed by BS.  Thats not to say that every time there is low confidence there is BS though, that is why this is such a hard problem.\n\n> ChatGPT is not a replacement for search\n\nI've become really bad at this.  This is slowly becoming my starting point for a lot of research, not my only research, but the first wet finger in the air.  Most often done with low effort, low risk tasks.\n\n> In ChatGPT, just like in the shelf full of the Encyclopedia Britannica I had when I was a kid, information on topics has been reduced to good summaries and presented in logical format.

The OpenAI key thing feels kind of obvious to me, every set of docs, blogs and examples on the internet need to be runnable for people to learn and try out new tech easy, putting secrets in the wrong place is easy, putting them somewhere that you can decode them without sharing them is hard team specific, app specific, and so nuanced to your architecture that its rarely included in public examples.

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.  Nothing needs installed, I can just bring my dev setup to the cluster where the network and data I might need to debug is.\n\n","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2025-02-08T15:29:52.849510","id":554,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"Jhey ʕ·ᴥ·　ʔ: \"breakin' down classics CSS background-image + background-blend-mode + custom properties = holo-like effects with parallax ✨\" — Bluesky","link":"https://bsky.app/profile/jhey.dev/post/3lgoev36hps2h","tags":"webdev","message":"Jhey has the coolest webdev demos!","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2025-02-07T01:59:07.772776","id":553,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"Fix VERSION_OR_CIPHER_MISMATCH · Cloudflare SSL/TLS docs","link":"https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/troubleshooting/version-cipher-mismatch/","tags":"","message":"Today I learned that cloudflare free tier  universal certs do not support multilevel subdomains.\n\n\n> By default, Cloudflare Universal SSL certificates only cover your apex domain and one level of subdomain.\n\n![image](https://dropper.wayl.one/api/file/7d1fe806-a3d0-47e3-8eb1-08c1a0965728.webp)","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2025-02-05T20:43:52.373140","id":552,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"Migration guide for config loaders — kedro 0.19.11 documentation","link":"https://docs.kedro.org/en/stable/configuration/config_loader_migration.html","tags":"kedro","message":"Migrating from kedro 0.18.4 to the latest version involves handling the deprecated OmegaConf loader.

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.  He compares planetscale running mysql vs Turso running SQLite stored in s3.\n\n## Everything he covers is really cloud to cloud\n\nHe compares early deployments of LAMP and MEAN stack running on one server then jumps to serverless.  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.  But in that case that you need to quickly do this serverless is definitely superior.","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2025-01-02T03:04:14.928269","id":493,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"linkding | linkding","link":"https://linkding.link/","tags":"homelab","message":"linkding looks like an interesting alternative to thoughts.

Its not only filled with tons of little nuggets about blogging, it has just a ton of links to other posts I'm itching to read now.\n\nhttps://simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/22/link-blog/#thoughts.waylonwalker.com\n\n## a linkblog proves that you read\n\nSimon mentions it in the post as well, but one thing about having a link blog does is that it proves that you actually read articles that you share.  This is really more about proving to myself, and reminding myself that anyone else, it's a good feeling.\n\n## Trying to add soemthing extra\n\n* include names of people, and add tags for common people\n* something extra - the whole point is to bring something to the post without stealing thunder, but rather linkbuilding for the author that put the hard work in.\n* copious amounts of quotes\n* It should bring the author up not put them down\n\n## A post a day\n\n_well .98 posts per day_\n\nSimon mentions starting in Nov 2003, which puts that at 7722 days since then.  That is so close to a post a day for 21 years, even though they are often as short as one sentence that is impressive to keep up over time.\n\n> So far I’ve published 7,607 link blog posts and counting.\n\n## What's my rate\n\nI just check and I am at 513 days in with 413 posts (0.8 posts/day).  Not quite up to Simon, but close enough to be proud of.  My only grief is that I didn't start sooner.\n\n## My stack\n\nI have a full post explaining more about how I do mine and the stack behind it here.\n\nhttps://waylonwalker.com/thoughts/\n\n## See Images **are** hard!\n\nThis is one of the main reasons that I built [dropper](https://dropper.wayl.one) for myself, and plan to include it in [fokais](https://fokais.com) as a product to help others with their blog.  This is definite evidence that I am not the only one with this issue!\n\n## I've made images easy form myself\n\nI've tried half a dozen or so easy techniques from obsidian to various github repos and none have really hit me with inspiration to really add screenshots like I do with [dropper](https://dropper.wayl.one).  I write all of my thoughts posts in a chrome extension drop down local first style and when i hit paste it uploads and gives me a markdown image link, it cannot be easier for me. \n\nWhen I store them I compress them and convert them to webp.  I serve them by streaming them out of an s3 bucket with fastapi and some very generous cloudflare cache headers, so I should only get a request for that image about once a year.\n\n> Warning, I built dropper for me, no guarantees that it works forever, foakis will be for more users.\n\n![image](https://dropper.wayl.one/api/file/2d54112d-b6c0-4f42-bbbb-eeb5fea133bd.webp)\n\n## Bluesky does not penalize for links\n\nI am loving bluesky more and more, learning this just gave it another level up.\n\n\n---\n\n## Series\n\nI just noticed that Simon has Series on his blog in a very elegant way.

There's no going back now, but it took me a **really** long time to be able to hit all of the numbers and symbols, just figuring out how to do the layout was hard there's not much space.\n\n> I didn’t touch type. I never really used my pinkies, except maybe for ESC, Shift, CTRL, Backspace et al.\n\nI can relate to this, my typing habits were terrible.  Shortly before going split ortho I worked on my speed with lots, and lots of practice on keybr and monkeytype.  I took my speed from 35wpm to 80wpm with a few months of steady practice. This is one of the best things I did for myself. \n\nOnce I got split it dropped down to single digits and slowly rose back up to 80, just barely breaking my PB on monkeytype.\n\n> I still feel like I still can’t type at my previous max speed — mostly because I wasn’t used to use my pinky and used the “wrong finger” for a lot of keys, but, nevertheless: I got there! I can touch type now! Yay! 🥳\n\nI feel this!  I'm pretty sure that I could still type faster on a normal keeb given some practice, but damn a split ortho is so comfy.  A normal row stagger feels like its twisting my fingers.\n\n> Update: my top speed was 125wpm for 10 words, and I can comfortably type between 80-100wpm now. Good enough.\n\nDamn thats good.\n\n> The bad news is that I’ll need to bring my keyboard with me everywhere I go now…\n\nYes, normal keebs feel awkward and like your fingers are all twisted up.","published":true,"public":true,"date":"2024-03-20T00:17:59.629750","id":220,"author":{"username":"waylonwalker","full_name":"Waylon Walker","email":"waylon@waylonwalker.com","disabled":false}},{"title":"My workflow, part 1","link":"https://carlosbecker.com/posts/workflow-pt1/","tags":"workflow","message":"Carlos has a pretty sick setup here, I can relate to mostly, cept the macos part.

I can do that with three capture groups, \\1 is here, \\2 is everything between, \\3 is there.\n\n``` vim\n:%s/\\(here\\)\\(.*\\)\\(there\\)/\\3\\2\\1\n```\n\n> Just give it the one eyed fighting kirby\n> \n> ~Prime\n\n## still struggling\n\nI thought this explaination from phind was good and more verbose than mine.\n\n---\n\ndescribe this vim substitute regex\n\n:%s/\\(here\\)\\(.*\\)\\(there\\)/\\3\\2\\1\nANSWER | PHIND V9 MODEL\nThe given Vim substitute regex :%s/\\(here\\)\\(.*\\)\\(there\\)/\\3\\2\\1 performs the following operation:\n\n%s initiates the substitute command. 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 <JAVA_ENV_NAME>\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.
