TL;DR If the purpose of AI is to become a programmers best friend, shouldn’t we address a few issues in open source funding first? When I was first coming up in programming, it was the early 90s. I was lucky and had the privilege to have a computer that was able to run a very early version of turbo linux red hat...

Recently, I wrote about an article on gut feelings and wanted to talk about things that ive been looking at that for some reason really resonate with me in terms of excitement. Like, while reading up on this technology I got into flow and was starting to hunt for companies doing work like this. 0data apps I went to...

I’m feeling stressed, so I thought building a little toy project might make me feel better Setup Go ahead and install rust, via rustup. Then grab cargo-generate. Once those are installed you can run the skeleton setup by using $ cargo generate cloudflare/workers-rs. I chose the axum skeleton, just because the...

Reaching Out but Hitting Dead Ends This week in trying to drum up work, I’ve been focused on expanding my client base. It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster ride - some promising leads, but a lot of dead ends as well. Early in the week, I reached out to a few companies I thought could really benefit from my technical...

I’ve used the context package alot with basically little thought, so I figured it would be helpful to have a few notes on the use and reason behind it for later reference. So hopefully this can help future devs and myself later on if I forget. The way I remember context, is that its a wrapper around information you...

The last month, April 2024, has been a sobering time of calling friends, reaching out, networking, and generally trying to find some space and some security.

Wrapping up NaBloPoMo2023 Doing thirty days of blog posts was a lot harder than I thought. The last couple days especially felt difficult, since I didn’t have time to continue coding up any htmx examples or alpinejs or really much golang. Since, typically for those projects I spend a few hours coding and writing the...
