Too many private repos. There were commits, they just weren’t in the open. I am going to endeavour to stick to one public commit a day so hopefully that lapse just slides.
Today I found a fun and profitable bug in AWS, a cheap and easy way to get free compute. I’ll escalate it back to AWS soon as I get around to writing it up though.
Still continuing to add these tiny updates. There are 20 or so commits on private and business repos today so I have been very busy.
I have a tone of different computer parts and side projects kicking around that I really never fully finish. Today I finished stacking my lack rack with a raspberrypi rack and lots more network cables. Slowly, I am building up a very formidable homelab.
I never really said it had to be a good commit, just a commit. It is habit forming. There is other code I’ve been working on but I’m not ready to release into the wild yet though.
I am going to stick to doing at least one commit today, even if I am insanely busy as I am today. This post is the equivalent of me touching a file while my code is chugging away on EMR.
GNU parallel
is a great tool, learn it if you don’t already know it. It is like tee and
xargs except it makes rocket go fast and if you can cap 100% cpu on a single
core for a script then it can be the laziest path to scaling a process ever.
When you are a developer or around software for a while you learn that everything left unattended long enough will break into thousands of bits Upgrades and updates are a constant. So here it is, somewhat updated.
With the new year at hand I have set a goal for myself to commit at least one thing publically to my git account every day and to do some simple fitness. That’s it, simple and achievable, I’ll post back with how it goes in 12 months.
Somehow the water is rising up from below. Cold, wet feet stand upon a slanting wooden deck.
Is this it?
