Reading this book right now. It is super good, highly readable. And you really learn about how weird a place to work can be. You’ve got to read it to believe it. I don’t want to say more lest I get sued.

I have not tried this yet, but reading this summary – – which is quite comprehensive – – tell me that the authors have really understood something important about Jupiter notebooks and then trying something that could be a whole lot more valuable. When I use Jupiter notebooks. I always get points when the code is getting too complicated or two and I end up moving it to VS code to work on it a software engineering kind of mode.

A basic overview of the RAG concept and how it is used in LLMs. Even includes source code and a GitHub repository!

Versioning? Never knew about this!

I had never thought of this. It makes sense. Interesting.

Pretty good collection of SQL basics, all in one place.

Another longer article about YAGNI by the pretty-famous Martin Fowler.

Not everyone thinks YAGNI is a good principle. I happen to very much think it is. Of course rules can always be broken if you know what you're doing!

Watch a new term of art being created as we watch in real time.

This article takes a stab at putting current and future AIs, capabilities into some context. They define some gradations of AGI and explain why some of them will be achieved sooner than others.

Trying to make coding a simple game more approachable.

Do you remember this story. Here's a really interesting article about what might have happened.

A very important question to think about. It's a little more abstract and high level than defining learning objectives. I found it an excellent exercise.

Very nice. and cheap alternative to google analytics. I mean, not exactly an alternative. I don't know all the features that GA has. But this tool is really lightweight, nice to look at, and it does a lot for free

Excellent overview with code. Can't say for sure that it is a true/accurate explanation or just a clever oversimplified analogy.

Once Heroku got rid of their free tier, we all wanted alternatives. Doku is one of them. It lets you create your very own Heroku service on top of a cheap Digitial Ocean partition.

Interesting GEM. Twirp is an RPC format and protocol from Twitch. Looks useful.

Remember this gem. It looks really useful for collecting stats from Rails based sites.
