Link Blog

Linked is ServBay - ServBay is an integrated local web development environment management tool. Very slick.

Linked is an outstanding summary of system design. It could be a book or a course! Of course good because I agree with just about every view and recommendation.

Linked is an interesting hypothetical article that has both technical and historical contrxt.

Linked article covers something that’s always been a matter of some amusing fascination for me. Which is how QR codes work, and how there are apparently variations in the basic look which continue working with the same algorithms.

Linked is a madman’s tour of git’s persistent data structures. Yes, crazy, but pretty amazing. They use not-simple shall commands to create all the bits by hand. If you follow along you will know more than any of your friends how git work#!

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

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.

Linked is a wonderful cheat sheet or grab bag of Rails console commands. I knew many but not all of them. Good reminders.

Linked is a new terminal emulator. What interests me is that it is said to be embeddable because it is distributed also as a library with well defined apis.

Linked is an article about #dokku which is software that lets you run the equivalent (more or less) of #heroku on your own server, including a server instance from a service like #digitalocean. Very nice. Good offering to remember!dokku

Kinda cool. Linked is a simple tool which formats a cv in one of several styles. But the trick is that the input is a yaml file which contains all the content as a structured text file that you can edit with vscode and version track with GitHub. Nice!

Linked is a good review of Python Flask and Django. I came from a Ruby world, that’s like comparing Sinatra to Rails. Very different and very related.

Follow the link below: I’ve been looking for a nicely packaged way to try llms locally, that is without using a cloud based service and without uploading my pi to another company. This tool is a good solution to the problem.

The attached article describes an org structure apparently originated at Amazon, called “single threaded owner” or STO. In a company with multiple products, one common setup is to have separate dev, pm and design groups each covering all products. STO says to have a separate, single manager for…

Wow a brand new web framework! Where did this spring from, apparently fully formed, out of nowhere? Or am I not hanging out in the right neighborhood? Take a look at the attached site!

There are now several new and different ways for us to try and get back the magic of #heroku #git-push deployments. The attached link shows a new entrant that’s worth a look

Another tool to turn markdown into html and css. This is FYI. So far I am still looking.

I was looking for a nice package to create slides using markdown files. This one is very nice except it cannot export to straight html/css/js. But other than that, I do recommend it!

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.
