Ergonomic Laptop — Evan and Katelyn
Back pain ends here.
Evan and Katelyn · evanandkatelyn.com [1]
This is such a cool idea, I tend to not use laptops at all because they are so uncomfortable I just wait till I’m back at my desk. This solves two main issues I have with laptops, the posture to use them is shit, the keyboards that come on them is not what I want to use. I’ve solved the latter with my own custom keyboard.

Weblogging: Part 1
The one where I blog about blogging (part 1)
dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1]
Long live RSS! Rss is not dead David, you are right there. I really agree with David that learning a topic well enough to form thoughts and write about it really help learning. You don’t need to be an expert, but forming your own thoughts, putting ideas in words takes a lot more than surface level knowledge. When you try to write or speak about something you quickly realize where your holes in understanding are.
Blogging helps me learn. When I commit knowledge to writing it reinforces what I know and shines a spotlight on what I don’t. Most topics require additional research. Even then, I occasionally get things wrong, or miss different ways of thinking, and I welcome corrections. I’ll often update and enrich my posts based on feedback. Without my blog I’d miss other points of view.
As they say, the best way to get an answer on the internet is not to pose a question, but to assert the wrong solution! Most feedback I get is constructive. Sometimes it’s blunt but I try not to read into unspoken sentiment. Some people are more direct. If the end result is positive learning, I can ta...

Cotton Coder
The one where I launch a new blog
dbushell.com · dbushell.com [1]
I like Davids idea for cotton coder here, reminds me a lot of Thoughts [2], which turns out to be mroe commonly called a linkblog. I can relate to David heavily on gathering too many side projects and soem collecting more digital dust than you would really like them to. I use thoughts for quick publishing, very similar to David’s notes [3]. I have tags and titles, but the titles are a reflection of the post I’m taking a note on. They are short and sweet, I put just enough thought into them without overthinking them. They live as a separate server hosted website, but the data gets pulled into my blog at build time, so they end up in the same place eventually.

python bindings for valkey, forked from redis.
one notable difference I see from redis is that you can install with libvalkey to autmatically get faster parsing support.
For faster performance, install valkey with libvalkey support, this provides a compiled response parser, and for most cases requires zero code changes. By default, if libvalkey >= 2.3.2 is available, valkey-py will attempt to use it for response parsing.

Chris Coyier · chriscoyier.net [1]
Interesting thoughts here on blog post titles, do we need them? They are so ingrained into everything.
It makes me think about markata.dev. I don’t require you to add any meta data to your post, you don’t need a title at all, but you do have to name a markdown file, and this does end up being your title if you don’t set one.
Titles are a lot of pressure! I think there is a reason that the big text-based social networking sites (Mastodon, X, Facebook, Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky, etc.) don’t have titles. Especially for short posts, the title just isn’t necessary. Just say the thing.
Interesting observation what rss readers do without one.

Damn prime makes an interesting point near then end of this video. He’s seen a bunch of people able to just throw down charts and shit at their company and end up being “the coding guy” cause they proompted something once. In a way I can relate, I got into software in a similar way, but at a time that it took a lot more hard work, understanding , and copy past from the right stack overflow. Based on some of the people around me at the time I can only imagine how some people must feel like they got pushed into it without wanting it, and now are building something they don’t know anything about with no care about it or care to build any expertise. Is the future proompted charts from enterprise chatgpt or do we only continue growing more need for software from here.

Big fan of Primes setup. I was not far off of his setup before he really came on the scene, but I’ve picked up a ton of nuggets from him and how he operates. I took his first developer productivity course on Front End Masters as it came out.
It is interesting to see him roll back his ansible scripts for bash scripts here. I converted my setup to ansible after watching his first, but have also since rolled back to bash scripts for quite similar reasons. Ansible is great for remote tasks that need to be done on a fleet of machines, but like he says here overkill for this purpose and ends up something that you need to read the docs for every change to your dotfiles.
Unlike prime I’ve really leaned harder on installing everything in a docker image and developing out of a docker image. I’ve long built docker images of my dotfiles with the idea that its nice to be able to just use them on other machines, but it rarely happened.
In the past year I’ve moved bazzite, an immutable distro. It comes with podman and distrobox, so I install very little on it, a few flatpaks from the store for brave and signal, but most of what I really use day to day comes from my devtainer. It’s nice t...

Migrating from kedro 0.18.4 to the latest version involves handling the deprecated OmegaConf loader. Switching over does not look as bad as I originally thought.
- installing kedro 0.18.5+
- set the CONFIG_LOADER_CLASS in settings.py
- swap out import statements
- config must be yaml or json
- getting values from config must be done with bracket __getattr__ style not with .get
- any Exceptions caught from Templated config loader will need to be swapped to OmegaConfig exceptions, similar to #3
- templated values must lead with an _
- Globals are handled different
- OmegaConfig does not support jinja2 sytax, but rather a ${variable} syntax

Damn these deepseek memes go hard. Wild to see openai get played by their own game.

👏👏👏 This one is really good. I’m right there with him on most of this. I am very hesitant on subscription models, and all the ai tools feel like they are getting ready to be the next round of death by a thousand cuts, this time with pretty limited free tier and relatively high prices to run. I’m sure we will see companies get taken by huge bills soon by building off of someone else’s service.
On the flip side I’m definitely the guy that gets in a rut of just copy paste to the ai, wait for codeium to to inject. I feel like I have issues of momentum more than anything. When I’m on one side or the other I tend to stick it out for too long, but less so on going without because that llm drug is calling you when you hit a hard problem.
I’m excited to see him build out a homelab [1] for llm stuff that he mentioned at the top. I’m interested, but probably not building one out for myself until we start to see some cheaper maybe used hardware to do it.

Models
Pydantic Docs · docs.pydantic.dev [1]
I came accross from_attributes today it allows creation of pydantic models from objects such as a sqlalchemy Base Model or while nesting pydantic models. I believe in the past I have ran into some inconsistencies with nesting pydantic models and I’ll bet one had from_attributes set and another did not.
Arbitrary class instances¶
(Formerly known as “ORM Mode”/from_orm).
Pydantic models can also be created from arbitrary class instances by reading the instance > attributes corresponding to the model field names. One common application of this functionality is integration with object-relational mappings (ORMs).
To do this, set the from_attributes config value to True (see the documentation on Configuration for more details).
The example here uses SQLAlchemy, but the same approach should work for any ORM.

Dang strong stance that tmux and zellij should not exist. I really do get his point though. Theres a good number of terminal features I often miss out on because I run tmux. Its an app that runs apps, and doesn’t let all of the signals back to the host. But its fantastic at what it does, and brings so much to the table that the little bit of downside it brings is well worth it to me. The other thing missing in this discussion is that I can take my hotkeys and session workflow to any machine just by running tmux. I do not need to run a certain terminal, or install it headlessly on a server to get special features just for it.

Don’t stop learning! Stop trying because you have a doomer outlook on ai, llms, industry and think they are taking over. If you have no hope for the future, if you stop now you are cementing in that you will be no good and the ai will be better. Many, maybe most of us in this industry go here by hard work, long nights of learning, trying to solve problems that our job had. If llms take over then the world is going to be a whole lot different, it will be a world you cannot predict or plan for. For now put your head down and succeed in the world we have today.

Htmx brings html [3]/css just a bit further down the complexity graph with little to no extra effort, while react allows us to go all the way full complexity at the cost of build and dev complexity to go from zero to 100 as soon as its introduced.
[4]
htmx brings us back to the ease of jquery ajax without any complex swapping or json parsing, all of the object parsing and html templating is done in the backend, the front end just tracks where to put it. HTMX couples the frontend and backend much tigher, since all of the front end html is generated in the backend, done correctly it is not possible for the front end to get out of sync and try to do things that the back end does not know how to handle, vice versa.

It’s interesting how many people in tech maintain a blog. I think part of this brings us back to web 1.0 days when so many individual websites owned the web it was a free for all unindexed land and you got to own a small piece of it.
I agree with most of Brittany’s points here I write a lot to keep my skills sharp, and to refer back to. Brittany mentions keeping all her old posts, even the cringy ones. I’m all with you here, I’m just wodering how you look back at anything you wrote in the past and not get a bit of that feel, maybe its just me, but I see cringe and mistakes gallore, but it all makes me better moving forward.

nice overview of availability measurements and what they really mean. The crazy world we live in today depends on so many things runnig, its also so hard to measure your uptime, The uptime metrics can mean a lot of different things. The site is up and accepting traffic, but can users make changes or submit orders, there is a lot more to it than just up or down. I really appreciate Brittany’s story from Nike nested in there.
