Cotton Coder
The one where I launch a new blog
dbushell.com Ā· 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 Davidās notes [3]. I have tags and titles, but the titles are a reflection of the post Iām 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.

A flexible distributed key-value database that is optimized for caching and other realtime workloads. - valkey-io/valkey
GitHub Ā· github.com [1]
valkey appears to be the largest open source fork of redis that was forked just before their transition to the new source available licenses.
One notable thing missing from the readme is how to run with docker, which I saw in the valkey-py docs.
docker run -p 6379:6379 -it valkey/valkey:latest
You can install the python library with
python -m venv .venv
. ./.venv/bin/activate
pip install "valkey[libvalkey]"

valkey
Python client for Valkey forked from redis-py
PyPI Ā· pypi.org [1]
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.
pip install "valkey[libvalkey]"

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 donāt require you to add any meta data to your post, you donāt need a title at all, but you do have to name a markdown file, and this does end up being your title if you donāt 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.) donāt have titles. Especially for short posts, the title just isnāt necessary. Just say the thing.
Interesting observation what rss readers do without one.
My own favorite[rss reader], Feedbin, shows the author of the post as the title if itās missing. Eh, not great not horrible.
Hilariously he puts a title on the OG [2] image for the post. I was interested in seeing what would happen in signal, it appears to be showing the author name as well.

Damn prime makes an interesting point near then end of this video. Heās seen a bunch of people able to just throw down charts and shit at their company and end up being āthe coding guyā 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 donāt 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 Iāve 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 Iāve really leaned harder on installing everything in a docker image and developing out of a docker image. Iāve 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 Iāve 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. Itās 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

Oh, this kills me to hear it. RSS is the OG [1] way to subscribe and share content out to others. It gives you control of what you subscribe to and reminds you when new content lands on your favorite sites. It is a huge component of web 1.0 and I feel is the most decentralized social media can ever hope to be.

I fully believe in our right to repair, ewaste reduction, and bringing a second life to still good hardware that is not up for itās originally intended purpose.

ššš This one is really good. Iām 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. Iām sure we will see companies get taken by huge bills soon by building off of someone elseās service.
On the flip side Iām 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 Iām 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.
Iām excited to see him build out a homelab [1] for llm stuff that he mentioned at the top. Iām 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 Ā· 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 Iāll bet one had from_attributes set and another did not.
Arbitrary class instancesĀ¶
(Formerly known as āORM Modeā/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 doesnāt 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.

Donāt 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.

I like the charts that Theo brings to to these videos. Shout out for a positive k8s reference and not shitting on it.

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.

Just tried using my twitter api key for the first time in quite awhile. Apps now need to be tied to projects in order to work. It looks like projects are where pricing comes into play. Thankfully they still give a free tier for doing small time things for myself. You can really see the effect that llms have on these things though as it is 5x more expensive to read posts than to make posts currently. Data is the new gold for these kind of companies.

GitHub - containers/podman-compose: a script to run docker-compose.yml using podman
a script to run docker-compose.yml using podman. Contribute to containers/podman-compose development by creating an account on GitHub.

Wild that the podman-compose github readme calls out k3s as an alternative.

compose definitely has its place, especially for local development on a developers machine, its so much easier to stand up and get things like hot reload up and running smooth.

Animate to height: auto; (and other intrinsic sizing keywords) in CSS Ā |Ā CSS and UI Ā |Ā Chrome for Developers
Animate to and from intrinsic sizing keywords with `interpolate-size` and `calc-size()`

Css is getting so good, new things like interpolate-size are making things that use to require some deep expertise and hacks intuitive and easy.
/* Opt-in the whole page to interpolate sizes to/from keywords */

interpolate-size: allow-keywords; /* š */

Looks like a great start to a rules file for fastapi [2].
- Place the happy path last in the function for improved readability.
I have never heard anyone say this. It feels weird to me. The other early return, find and handle errors early all make sense to me, but happy path last is new to me.

Generate Custom .cursorrules for Your Project Based on Community Examples
expert led courses for front-end web developers and teams that want to level up through straightforward and concise lessons on the most useful tools available.

Really interesting way to generate a rules file for agentic workflows based on your current repo. John uses gitingest here, looks like a fantastic tool, but probably not useful for most private repos. Iām sure you can replicate the same thing in a private repo wtih a small amount of effort the few times you need to do it. gitingest looks like a great way to pull in some extra context for some open source dependencies that you have though.

Replace hub with ingest in any github and get a prompt friendly codebase ready to feed into any llm. It combines the entire codebase, based on a gitignore style glob that you pass in, into a single TXT file.

Definitely need to give codecompanion.nvim a try, it looks like a competitor to windsurf but in nvim. It looks so feature complete that its hard to grasp all of what it does.
