It's become apparent to me recently that I am more of an outlier than the norm when it comes to writing markdown This is shocking to me but from my experience a lot of dev's do not know markdown well

Tinkering with a new idea. Go, twillio and react. Haven't really used twillio before so this should be fun Users will call and leave messages which we'll do stuff with. Testbed for a large project to support another businesses expansion Got that new idea excitement again

Just did a typing test at monkeytype at hit 65wpm Nothing to write home about but I'm happy with it! Learning touch typing was a worthy investment and I think all tech workers should be able to do it

I'm really into PocketBase at the moment and was amazed to see this great server monitoring tool is using it as their backend. Awesome work github.com/henrygd/beszel

Wrote a short piece on how I use Github actions, Go and Hugo to automatically rebuild my static site when I create new entries in my zettelkasten. Includes how I write my notes with my custom CLI tool danielms.site/blog/github-...

When I joined the army, they taught you the map and compass before you were allowed a GPS After that you primarily used the GPS but I guarantee you no one can navigate effectively without learning the map and compass first Same with AI Its not a replacement for skill

Put self hosted umami analytics on my blog. Its really cool being able to track if users are clicking between pages - really enjoying the vanity metrics too Hosting it on my own domain should mean I get more data as my site wont be on a block list

Having some odd issues with rabbitmq throughput at work lately. We're seeing significant slow downs in msg processing - inbound mostly. Really flappy, 17k p/s then dropping to 400 p/s an hour later We have a lot of queues, theres many possible bottlenecks Anyone had similar issues? On AWS

Githubs outage broke my coolify deployments today I think we take for granted something so important, and forget that it can have outages too - just like our own products and applications

Upgrading my hugo site from v105 to v136 tonight proved to be a bit punishing I do a few custom things to build pages, and deprecating getJSON caused some headaches Namely, I wasnt using an assets folder to store my custom json files. The getJSON replacement, resources.Get, requires this to work

Another pocketbase milestone, just embedded my react FE into the go binary. Took maybe ten lines of code and an updated Vite base url, now it all works perfectly Dockerising it now with litestream before I push to caprover Still very rough but a functional self hosted file sharing app is born

Got my PocketBase file sharing app up to the point of finessing the UI and creating basic tables etc to display analytics Opinion so far, massive speed up in PoC deliverable for Go with JS frontends. Learning the syntax, hooks and ORM takes a bit of time but isnt too complicated Very good DX imo

Browser caching file URLs in PocketBase caught me out today. Every page hit after the first download wont hit the server again. At least in my small file examples - it caches and the browser just "downloaded" the file again - meaning my hooks wouldn't fire. Wouldnt even show in network tab

Super impressed with PocketBase For PoC or even production apps this things a real time saver. I think in future ill start with PB for everything and scale out where needed Auth, DB, JS SDK, Rate limiting, ACL, file upload w/ s3 support, and more. Absolute beast

Thoughts after spending an hour with Pocketbase and Tanstack Router.. its too easy. Signup and login sorted in a couple minutes Its like having django ergonomics for a Go backend with a SPA frontend. Really impressive so far

Feels good to have time at work to fix things, make DX improvements and do all the little things you dont get time for during the year

Mondays are a punish. Long ass commute into the office to hop on teams like I do at home. Its the trade off I made to earn good money but WFH 80% of the time. Next step is to find a fully remote comparable role
