It’s okay to poke fun at myself and my projects.  “Under-funded, over-dreamed, barely documented” is a feature, not a bug.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Principles:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Use first person (“I”, “me”, “my”)&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Keep sentences punchy and direct&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Include real personal details and hobbies&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Show technical expertise without taking myself too seriously&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It’s okay to mention frustrations with mainstream tools&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;writing-rules&#34;&gt;Writing Rules &lt;a href=&#34;#writing-rules&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Formatting:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;No em-dashes.

This site runs on a Kubernetes cluster in my basement because “I love DevOps” like maintaining your own bare-metal cluster just to host a static site.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Authenticity:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I create this blog with one person in mind: me.  If it helps others, great.  But I’m writing to document what I learn and think, not to build an audience or optimize for engagement.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Learn in Public:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Share failures, unfinished projects, and half-baked ideas.  The TIL format works because it captures learning in the moment, not after I’ve mastered something.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;what-i-avoid&#34;&gt;What I Avoid &lt;a href=&#34;#what-i-avoid&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Just”&lt;/strong&gt; - The word skips invisible complexity&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pretending to know everything&lt;/strong&gt; - I’ll say when I’m confused&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overly complex solutions&lt;/strong&gt; - Prefer systems I can understand and fix&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Performance for likes&lt;/strong&gt; - Not optimizing for engagement metrics&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;inspiration&#34;&gt;Inspiration &lt;a href=&#34;#inspiration&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This style guide draws from:&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://indieweb.org/style-guide&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/indieweb.org.ico&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/indieweb.org.ico&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;slashpages.net /style&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://rubenerd.com/the-rubenerd-style-guide/&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/rubenerd.com.ico&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/rubenerd.com.ico&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;Rubenerd style guide&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://rknight.me/about/design/&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/rknight.me.png&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/rknight.me.png&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;Robb Knight’s design style&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Years of reading indie web blogs and knowing what I like&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;hr/&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;This is a living document.

Paste in&#xA;or type in your message and it shows up as a qr code live.  This one needed an&#xA;event listener for window resize since the library creates a rigid canvas qr&#xA;code that does not fit on the screen once you create it then resize the window.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://qrcode.waylonwalker.com/?text=https://waylonwalker.com/replacing-google-search-apps-with-self-hosted-web-apps/&#34;&gt;&lt;img class=&#34;glightbox&#34; src=&#34;https://shots.waylonwalker.com/shot/?url=https://qrcode.waylonwalker.com/?text=https://waylonwalker.com/replacing-google-search-apps-with-self-hosted-web-apps%2F%3Ftext%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fshots.waylonwalker.com%2F&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;height=500&#34; alt=&#34;screenshot of https://b64.wayl.one&#34;/ data-glightbox=&#34;description: screenshot of https://b64.wayl.one&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I even added query params to pass hex codes in for &lt;code&gt;color&lt;/code&gt; and &lt;code&gt;bg&lt;/code&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://qrcode.waylonwalker.com/?text=https://waylonwalker.com/replacing-google-search-apps-with-self-hosted-web-apps/&#34;&gt;&lt;img class=&#34;glightbox&#34; src=&#34;https://shots.waylonwalker.com/shot/?url=https://qrcode.waylonwalker.com/?text=https://waylonwalker.com/replacing-google-search-apps-with-self-hosted-web-apps%2F%3Ftext%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fshots.waylonwalker.com%2F%26color%3Dff69b4%26bg%3Dffcc00&amp;amp;width=450&amp;amp;height=500&#34; alt=&#34;screenshot of https://b64.wayl.one&#34;/ data-glightbox=&#34;description: screenshot of https://b64.wayl.one&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</content>

This&#xA;is the point when I really started lowering the barrier to entry to make a blog&#xA;post.  A blog post did not need to be a super long essay, but could be the size&#xA;of a tweet.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;/contributions_2021.svg&#34; class=&#34;glightbox-link&#34;&gt;&lt;img class=&#34;glightbox&#34; src=&#34;/contributions_2021.svg&#34; alt=&#34;Post Contributions in 2021&#34;/ data-glightbox=&#34;description: Post Contributions in 2021&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;post-contributions-in-2020&#34;&gt;Post Contributions in 2020 &lt;a href=&#34;#post-contributions-in-2020&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;/contributions_2020.svg&#34; class=&#34;glightbox-link&#34;&gt;&lt;img class=&#34;glightbox&#34; src=&#34;/contributions_2020.svg&#34; alt=&#34;Post Contributions in 2020&#34;/ data-glightbox=&#34;description: Post Contributions in 2020&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;post-contributions-in-2019&#34;&gt;Post Contributions in 2019 &lt;a href=&#34;#post-contributions-in-2019&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2019 was a huge learning year for me.

I had been&#xA;watching luke smith for a awhile, and started managing my first linux server at&#xA;work.

I remember fist landing 5&#xA;years before and being told in the companies long history they have never laid&#xA;off engineers, it was a very safe place to be.  This was a wake up call that it&#xA;might all turn around and I would take nothing with me.  Blogging became my way&#xA;to document things I was learning, it was making be better at communicating,&#xA;and giving me a reason to take a deeper dive into interesting topics.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;/contributions_2017.svg&#34; class=&#34;glightbox-link&#34;&gt;&lt;img class=&#34;glightbox&#34; src=&#34;/contributions_2017.svg&#34; alt=&#34;Post Contributions in 2017&#34;/ data-glightbox=&#34;description: Post Contributions in 2017&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;post-contributions-in-2016&#34;&gt;Post Contributions in 2016 &lt;a href=&#34;#post-contributions-in-2016&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;2016 was the year that I created my github account, and really got serious&#xA;about career switching from Mechanical Engineering to Software Engineering.&#xA;All of my 2016 posts are back-dated github stars.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;/contributions_2016.svg&#34; class=&#34;glightbox-link&#34;&gt;&lt;img class=&#34;glightbox&#34; src=&#34;/contributions_2016.svg&#34; alt=&#34;Post Contributions in 2016&#34;/ data-glightbox=&#34;description: Post Contributions in 2016&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/figure&gt;&#xA;</content>

I’m imagining the graph you can build, it feels quite interesting.  Even more relevant as we see things like teams rolling out retention limits to messages.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Here is Cassidy’s format, I like it but I’m probably not going to track the birthday of most people I work with, thats just not the relationship I tend to have with work friends.  It might be a midwest or non tech thing, but I am not even aware if any of my co-workers have social media, and I assume that if they did it would not include anything work related but more football and other sports.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;https://dropper.wayl.one/api/file/32859bd6-1b9f-4d40-a87c-0b96a5a42084.webp&#34; class=&#34;glightbox-link&#34;&gt;&lt;img class=&#34;glightbox&#34; src=&#34;https://dropper.wayl.one/api/file/32859bd6-1b9f-4d40-a87c-0b96a5a42084.webp&#34; alt=&#34;image&#34;/ data-glightbox=&#34;description: image&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;div class=&#34;admonition note&#34;&gt;&#xA;&lt;p class=&#34;admonition-title&#34;&gt;Note&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This post is a &lt;a href=&#34;/thoughts/&#34; class=&#34;wikilink&#34; data-title=&#34;Thoughts&#34; data-description=&#34;These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a rare few don&amp;#39;t have a link.

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Over the past years couple of years blog traffic has been tanking, for some&#xA;time I thought it might have just been me, but then i heard it from Dave Rupert&#xA;on Shop Talk show, and it made sense.  LLMs and AI is slowly killing the&#xA;internet as we know it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;my-metrics&#34;&gt;My metrics &lt;a href=&#34;#my-metrics&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I dug into my emails from the google search console team and found two results&#xA;nearly one year apart.  Impressions are only 60% of its value a year ago while&#xA;clicks are only 35% of where they were a year ago.  I’m getting less&#xA;impressions and even less clicks.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/2706f990-f2fa-4ccb-a7a9-142ee20686c7.webp&#34; class=&#34;glightbox-link&#34;&gt;&lt;img class=&#34;glightbox&#34; src=&#34;https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/2706f990-f2fa-4ccb-a7a9-142ee20686c7.webp&#34; alt=&#34;blogging-in-2024-20240805080104035.webp&#34;/ data-glightbox=&#34;description: blogging-in-2024-20240805080104035.webp&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;May 2023&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/cd708a26-27d2-4a33-9f22-b0cb0dd54fc5.webp&#34; class=&#34;glightbox-link&#34;&gt;&lt;img class=&#34;glightbox&#34; src=&#34;https://dropper.waylonwalker.com/api/file/cd708a26-27d2-4a33-9f22-b0cb0dd54fc5.webp&#34; alt=&#34;blogging-in-2024-20240805080137554.webp&#34;/ data-glightbox=&#34;description: blogging-in-2024-20240805080137554.webp&#34;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&#xA;&lt;/figure&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;June 2024&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;suspicions&#34;&gt;Suspicions &lt;a href=&#34;#suspicions&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;What I think is happening is a large portion of users are getting their answers&#xA;from ChatGPT, Copilot, and llms like this.  A lot of my posts have been filling&#xA;gaps in the internet, notes for myself when I struggle to integrate x in y&#xA;because there was a gap of how to do so in the docs and stack overflow. Some&#xA;small fraction of users have moved on to duck duck go and other non global&#xA;warming search engines with AI in their results.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Clicks are down even further, than impressions.  I can’t tell for sure but my&#xA;gut feeling is that people are using the AI generated results.  I know I use&#xA;them quite often, but listening to Justin and Autumn at the end of the latest&#xA;ship it podcast &lt;a href=&#34;https://changelog.com/shipit/115&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/changelog.com.ico&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/changelog.com.ico&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;https://changelog.com/shipit/115&lt;/a&gt;, they both claim that they get&#xA;no benefits from it and don’t know anyone who does.  In fact Justin has taken&#xA;the most ethical approach to move to duck duck go since it doesn’t kill the&#xA;earth with each search by injecting AI results.  Personally I do find it quite&#xA;helpful, sometimes the answer is there, or an idea that triggers me to think of&#xA;the idea.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;ok-blogging-is-dead-why-keep-going&#34;&gt;Ok blogging is dead why keep going &lt;a href=&#34;#ok-blogging-is-dead-why-keep-going&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Just as always blogging has been for me. It’s a great place to write down your&#xA;thoughts for later reference, and to help cement them into your brain.  Beyond&#xA;getting famous and clicks blogging is useful to you first and foremost, that&#xA;should be the number one reason.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;how-do-we-keep-the-internet-of-old&#34;&gt;How do we keep the internet of old &lt;a href=&#34;#how-do-we-keep-the-internet-of-old&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;RSS feed readers is a great way to keep creators that you like and want to&#xA;support in your feed regardless of what the higher powers of search and social&#xA;media think of them.  This year I built my own &lt;a href=&#34;/reader/&#34; class=&#34;wikilink&#34; data-title=&#34;Reader&#34; data-description=&#34;Latest posts from blogs I follow&#34; data-preview=&#34;Latest posts from blogs I follow&#34;&gt;Reader&lt;/a&gt;, and I use it every&#xA;single day to read articles out of my own custom curated feed.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have also created &lt;a href=&#34;/thoughts/&#34; class=&#34;wikilink&#34; data-title=&#34;Thoughts&#34; data-description=&#34;These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a rare few don&amp;#39;t have a link.

These are dual published off of my...&#34;&gt;Thoughts&lt;/a&gt; to help share and lift up creators that make&#xA;good posts.  I have a crome extension that allows me to create a blog post tied&#xA;to a link right within chrome.  I use this several times per day to save some&#xA;pages for later with a small note.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;I registered waylonwalker.com and started making content for it in 2017 after a&#xA;big industry downturn in 2016 that left me scared for what would happen if I&#xA;were laid off.  The company I was working for at the time did it’s first major&#xA;downsizing in history sending many really good engineers out to look for new&#xA;opportunities in a world flooded with many in the same situation.  This was&#xA;very similar to what happened to the tech industry in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;This was very similar to what happened to the tech industry in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href=&#34;/about/&#34; class=&#34;wikilink&#34; data-title=&#34;Waylon Walker&#34; data-description=&#34;Husband, dad of two, and hobbyist builder of things on the internet.&#34; data-date=&#34;2021-11-20&#34; data-preview=&#34;Husband, dad of two, and hobbyist builder of things on the internet.&#34;&gt;Waylon Walker&lt;/a&gt; for more about me.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;what-is-this-site&#34;&gt;What is this site? &lt;a href=&#34;#what-is-this-site&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;It’s a blog&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Digital Garden&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Learn in public&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;TIL&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;portfolio&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;my personal corner of the internet&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;its-nottext-red-500-text-6xl-font-bold-perfect&#34;&gt;It’s [NOT]{.text-red-500 .text-6xl .font-bold} Perfect &lt;a href=&#34;#its-nottext-red-500-text-6xl-font-bold-perfect&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;There will be mistakes&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;I will learn&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Grammar will be fine, but never perfect&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;Code will run on my machine, but not guaranteed to be perfect&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;There will be days when the whole site is broken&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;it-started-as-a-blog&#34;&gt;It started as a blog &lt;a href=&#34;#it-started-as-a-blog&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p class=&#34;font-bold underline decoration-teal-500&#34;&gt;This site started out as a [big B]&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;its-a-digital-garden&#34;&gt;It’s a digital garden &lt;a href=&#34;#its-a-digital-garden&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Somewhere along the line I found a really great community of people who create&#xA;content in ways that they does not require that level of depth and polish on&#xA;each and every post they make.  Ideas flow out and content gets made over time.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://maggieappleton.com&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/maggieappleton.com.png&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/maggieappleton.com.png&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;Maggie Appleton&lt;/a&gt;{.hoverlink} and the idea of &lt;a href=&#34;https://maggieappleton.com/garden-history&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/maggieappleton.com.png&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/maggieappleton.com.png&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;digital&#xA;gardening&lt;/a&gt;{.hoverlink} has been very&#xA;inspiriational. She makes really great content with amazing drawings in them.&#xA;She publishes early and often and labels content with the state that it is in,&#xA;early and often.  Some posts are budding, and some are evergreen.  She also&#xA;distinguishes between notes and essays.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;learn-in-public&#34;&gt;Learn in public &lt;a href=&#34;#learn-in-public&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://www.swyx.io/&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/www.swyx.io.png&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/www.swyx.io.png&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;Shawn Wang&lt;/a&gt;{.hoverlink} (swyx) Has been very inpsiring with ideas&#xA;around &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.swyx.io/learn-in-public&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/www.swyx.io.png&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/www.swyx.io.png&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;Learn In Public&lt;/a&gt;{.hoverlink}.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Whatever your thing is, make the thing you wish you had found when you were&#xA;learning. Don’t judge your results by “claps” or retweets or stars or upvotes&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;just talk to yourself from 3 months ago. I keep an almost-daily dev blog&#xA;written for no one else but me.&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Try your best to be right but don’t wait til your the expert to share what you&#xA;are learning.  If something works for you, you are likely mostly right even if&#xA;you don’t have all the right words for it yet.  Don’t be afraid to be wrong.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;til&#34;&gt;TIL &lt;a href=&#34;#til&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;On to one of the most inspirational pieces that I have taken ideas from&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;https://x.com/jbrancha&#34; class=&#34;hoverlink  has-avatar has-avatar-before&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/x.com.ico&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/x.com.ico&#34;&gt;@jbrancha&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/jbranchaud/til&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/github.com.ico&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/github.com.ico&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;#til&#xA;repository&lt;/a&gt;{.hoverlink}.

If you own the domain, the content, and host it yourself you&#xA;control when it gets published, deleted, and updated.  No one can take this&#xA;away from you execept for you.  It’s a very powerful tool that I highly&#xA;recommend everyone to use.  You can get your own domain for $12/year or less,&#xA;and that is all you need to pay.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</content>

One, link building for the author.  I&#xA;hope that I give the people helping me out along the way just a little bit of a&#xA;boost.

They are what I started writing,&#xA;typically take a bit more time to put together.  I write fewer of them these&#xA;days than I used to.

If&#xA;my scheduled builds keep working as intended they are today’s posts.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/today/&#34;&gt;web&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/today/rss.xml&#34;&gt;rss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;python&#34;&gt;Python &lt;a href=&#34;#python&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are all the posts related to the python programming language.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/python/&#34;&gt;web&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/python/rss.xml&#34;&gt;rss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;linux&#34;&gt;Linux &lt;a href=&#34;#linux&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are all the posts related to linux.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/linux/&#34;&gt;web&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/linux/rss.xml&#34;&gt;rss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;vim&#34;&gt;vim &lt;a href=&#34;#vim&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are all the posts related to the greatest way to edit text, vim.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/vim/&#34;&gt;web&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/vim/rss.xml&#34;&gt;rss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Careful, you might not make it out&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;kedro&#34;&gt;kedro &lt;a href=&#34;#kedro&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These are all the posts related to the python data engineering framework kedro.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/kedro/&#34;&gt;web&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/kedro/rss.xml&#34;&gt;rss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;gratitude&#34;&gt;gratitude &lt;a href=&#34;#gratitude&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I used to do daily gratitude posts, I might get back into it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/gratitude/&#34;&gt;web&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/gratitude/rss.xml&#34;&gt;rss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;These are generally my thoughts on a web page or some sort of url, except a&#xA;rare few don’t have a link.  These are dual published off of my&#xA;&lt;a href=&#34;https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/thoughts.waylonwalker.com.ico&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/thoughts.waylonwalker.com.ico&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;thoughts.waylonwalker.com&lt;/a&gt; site.  It’s a&#xA;fully dynamically rendered site 2000’s style.  Posts are stored in a database&#xA;and instantly available.  Almost all of the posts were written in a small&#xA;&lt;code&gt;&amp;lt;textarea&amp;gt;&lt;/code&gt; field within a chrome extension that I built for it.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;These posts are intended to in two ways.  One, link building for the author.  I&#xA;hope that I give the people helping me out along the way just a little bit of a&#xA;boost.  Two, they serve as a permanant commented bookmark for me to search, and&#xA;come back to later when I have forgotten where I have seen something.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/tags/thought&#34;&gt;web&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://waylonwalker.com/tags/thought/rss.xml&#34;&gt;rss&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;All thoughts posts cross posted to my site are prefixed with a thought balloon 💭.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&#xA;&lt;h2 id=&#34;the-tech&#34;&gt;The tech &lt;a href=&#34;#the-tech&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Since this blog is mostly a tech blog about software development, and my&#xA;journey as I learn, lets talk tech.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;python&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;/fastapi/&#34; class=&#34;glossary-term&#34; title=&#34;FastAPI is a modern and efficient web framework for Python, built on top of the Starlette web framework, and pydantic for data validation and serialization.&#34;&gt;fastapi&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;/htmx/&#34; class=&#34;glossary-term&#34; title=&#34;htmx is a frontend javascript library for creating dynamic web applications.&#34;&gt;htmx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;sqlite&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;docker&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://fly.io&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/fly.io.png&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/fly.io.png&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;https://fly.io&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&#xA;&lt;/ul&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;fastapi&#34;&gt;fastapi &lt;a href=&#34;#fastapi&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The core of the site is a python web server running fastapi.  Most of the&#xA;endpoints return &lt;a href=&#34;/html/&#34; class=&#34;glossary-term&#34; title=&#34;HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the standard markup language used to create and design documents on the World Wide Web. It structures web content by...&#34;&gt;html&lt;/a&gt; via jinja templates to the browser and json to anything&#xA;else.  So you go to the list of posts at&#xA;[https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/posts/waylonwalker/?page_size=9999999999 in](&lt;a href=&#34;https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/posts/waylonwalker/?page_size=9999999999&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/thoughts.waylonwalker.com.ico&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/thoughts.waylonwalker.com.ico&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;https://thoughts.waylonwalker.com/posts/waylonwalker/?page_size=9999999999&lt;/a&gt; in){.hoverlink}&#xA;a web browser it will be a rendered feed, but from curl you will get json.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;htmx&#34;&gt;htmx &lt;a href=&#34;#htmx&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The main page is an infite scrolling feed of the posts.  All loaded in with&#xA;htmx.  Which just works so beautifully for this.  I really like python its my&#xA;jam, I can make endpoints that return things out of a database very effectively&#xA;with it, but it takes me some time to do the js side, htmx just makes these&#xA;common patterns available right in html.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;sqlite&#34;&gt;sqlite &lt;a href=&#34;#sqlite&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;The data storage is a sqlite database using the sqlmodel orm.  This was my very&#xA;first time using sqlmodel, which is an ORM built on top of pydantic.  It works&#xA;really well with fastapi.  The only thing that it lacks is the same history,&#xA;community, and stack overflow posts that sqlalchemy has.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;docker&#34;&gt;docker &lt;a href=&#34;#docker&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Docker is my go to way for containerizing web applications.  I know it really&#xA;well and makes it easy to build and deploy on a number of platforms.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;h3 id=&#34;httpsflyio&#34;&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://fly.io&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/fly.io.png&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/fly.io.png&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;https://fly.io&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&#34;#httpsflyio&#34; class=&#34;heading-anchor&#34;&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I have this running on &lt;a href=&#34;https://fly.io&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/fly.io.png&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/fly.io.png&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;https://fly.io&lt;/a&gt;.  Its my first real production application&#xA;running on &lt;a href=&#34;https://fly.io&#34; style=&#34;--favicon-url: url(&amp;#39;/assets/markata/link-avatars/fly.io.png&amp;#39;);&#34; data-favicon=&#34;/assets/markata/link-avatars/fly.io.png&#34; class=&#34;has-avatar  has-avatar-before&#34;&gt;https://fly.io&lt;/a&gt;, and its been great for me.  It runs my container for me,&#xA;gives me tools to scale, and ssh right into the running container.  It’s still&#xA;free for the time being, but goes up quick for my cheap taste if I were to&#xA;scale it up much.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Id highly recomend it if you have a server that you want to get running on the&#xA;public internet, and you don’t want to manage any of your own infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;</content>
