A couple of days ago, Cursor went down during the ChatGPT outage. I stared at my terminal facing those red error messages that I hate to see. An AWS error glared back at me. I didn’t want to figure it out without AI’s help. After 12 years of coding, I’d somehow become worse at my own craft. And this isn’t hyperbole—this is the new reality for software developers.
Linked article talks about something I’ve been thinking about. I’ve experienced it myself but not programming. When I delved into an area that the LLM didn’t know as well, it started giving me incorrect hallucinated answers. I went back to regular searches and posting on specific forums!
Just a small tool to help me (and you but without any guaranty) to create command alias and sub-aliases (multi word alias) - adoy/cmdalias
Linked is not a recommendation - as I have not tried it. But I've been typing lots of repetitive commands the last few days and I got to thinking that having a way to have aliases which were more than a single word would make them easier to remember and more flexible. This is one that I found
More features, active users, and data are collected daily. Your database is slowing your application. Many people don't understand database sharding, which could solve their difficulties. This article explains database sharding, its benefits, including ho
Linked is a modern explanation of sharding and other approaches to dealing with scaling db backends.
Run local LLMs inside your browser. Contribute to sauravpanda/BrowserAI development by creating an account on GitHub.
This could be important. Linked is a tool that allows you to run an LLM locally in your browser. Why is that interesting? After all you can already run it locally, just on your laptop. I think, if this thing works, one can provide LLM features as part of a SaS app, while guaranteeing your users that their information is staying with them and not going into “the cloud”.
Sync, search and backup shell history with Atuin
Linked is a linux-friendly command history editor. I needed one and I grabbed the first one I saw. But I am feeling like it's too heavy weight.
Welcome to PyViz! The PyViz.org website is an open platform for helping users decide on the best open-source (OSS) Python data visualization tools for their purposes, with links, overviews, comparisons, and examples.
Linked is a big ole catalog of all the different visualization tools, packages and frameworks in python. Handy resource if you are experiencing analysis paralysis!
Music programming in the browser
Linked is a tool for writing electronic sounding music 5hrough a cryptic language, right in the browser. It reminds me of SonicPi except with a far worse syntax. But it runs in the browser which is pretty cool!
What are some of the benefits and challenges that come with caching? I'll do my best to illustrate what you should know about every caching layer.
Here I link to an overview of the different models of caching.
In this tutorial we will learn about the concepts behind the SQL syntax. We will go through the basics of how to use the FROM and WHERE clauses, and move on to more advanced topics like joins, aggregations and subqueries.
If you’re anything like me, SQL is one of those things that may look easy at first (it reads just like regular english!), but for some reason you can’t help but google the correct syntax for almost every query.
Linked is a handy little SQL tutorial and guide.
Clearbit's free Logo API is still available here in 2021 — and still completely
free.
We never found anything that catered well to company logos. And yet there's a
lot of clear use-cases ranging from setting an organization's default image on
signup to pulling in logos next to job listings.
Clearbit Logo API
The API is incredibly simple, taking a company's domain and returning an image.
GET https://logo.clearbit.com/:domain
Behind the scenes we're using Clearbit's Company API

Linked is a service that returns the logo for any domain name. I tried it on salas.com and it worked great!
Linked is one of the most classic Software Engineering papers from 1000 years ago!
I’ve been a programmer since the age of 8, and some kind of developer for most of my life. Throughout my life as a coder, both hobbyist and professional, I’ve learnt plenty of programming languages that felt like cookie-cutter clones of each other, but also a few programming languages that changed the way I looked at programming, sometimes even at thinking.
Linked is a cool review of esoteric (some) programming language that you (might) have never heard of
Linked is a very useful library of code for writing programs on microcontrollers such as arduino and esp32. Just really handy stuff that you would know how to write... but why bother?
Linked is (one of many I am sure) tool that creates pretty amazing images from prompts. And there's a pretty capable free tier!
After many years of working with Django, I decided to take a closer and more serious look at FastAPI.
Extensively using both frameworks has helped me understand their actual strengths and weaknesses with greater accuracy.
More and more, I find it challenging to form a relevant opinion on tools I've never used. Reading documentation or blog posts like this one is not enough, as some things simply don't "click" in your mind until you experience them firsthand.
Linked is a very useful article comparing FastAPI with Django. I’ve been a long-time Ruby on Rails developer, having developed a lot of expertise using that framework and genuinely loving it. However, for very practical reasons, I recently switched to Python. This article is highly instructive in explaining the pros and cons of Django versus FastAPI. But it leads me to an unexpected conclusion: neither Django nor fast API can truly fulfill my needs as much as Rails. Consequently, I’ve decided to stick to Ruby on Rails, even though I’ve switched to Python as my primary programming language!
PyTorch users can learn about JAX in this tutorial that connects JAX concepts to the PyTorch building blocks that they’re already familiar with.
Linked is a very useful tutorial on the use of JAX. I am not an expert. I capture the link here mostly for my own future benefit.
It's not ideal and I have a lot of questions.
Linked is an article detailing one proffers experience modifying their approach to deal with LLMs and AI use by students on submitting homework.
Discover essential tips and tricks to boost your productivity with Ruby on Rails console commands and features.
Linked is a wonderful cheat sheet or grab bag of Rails console commands. I knew many but not all of them. Good reminders.
Learn when and why to use Python's 'raise ... from None' to simplify stacktraces by hiding redundant exception context. Improve debugging clarity by focusing on the actual issue.
Linked is a good article about raising exceptions in python. For me it also showed me some interesting “advanced” (or is it idiomatic) python.
