Feel like a real asshole. Needed to display a long string in #homeassistant acquired via #nodered. HomeAssistant has a max string length of 255. Rather than figuring out how to set entity attributes from Node-Red, I just created two component strings below the threshold and recombine them in the UI.
I love how Go and Rust programs just compile down to a single binary you can do whatever you want with. Sprinkle a systemd definition and voila, you’ve got yourself a long running service with superpowers 🥰.
Today's lesson is if I wake up in the middle of the night thinking "I should refactor that big ugly block of working code" I should just get rudely drunk and go back to sleep.
TIL one of Obsidian's super-powers kicks-in when one links between different pages using [[ titles ]]!! I've been using it wrong 😅 - all this time I've had structured pages with # tags that I'd use to lookup content. The graph and a combination of both techniques seems so much cooler!
I'm finally working on my first microservices project of my career, and so far most design decisions have been aimed at centralization (monorepo, central GraphQL API).
I'm starting to believe microservices sounds good in theory but has absolutely no business being implemented in its purest form.
Also the Make command to build the local Docker environment can take up to 15 minutes to run on a M1 Macbook Pro. And because the environment uses an AWS token that expires every day, the command needs to be ran every day you may be working on the project. This is such an incomprehensible waste to me, have I already reached the end of my career in software development?
Did you know that in Extreme Programming (XP), refactoring is not just cleaning up code, but a core practice to boost agility? It's about evolving design organically, embracing change for the ultimate efficiency! #ExtremeProgramming#Refactoring#DevLife 👨💻🔄
😅 Two types of #GameDevs: Those who backup because they've lost data, and those who will... after they lose data! Just did my quarterly backup. Tedious but better safe than sorry! 🎮💾 How's your backup game going?
After 4½ years, I’ve had my last day at Concentric Health today. We achieved great things, I’ve learned an incredible amount, we built an industry-leading platform. But now it’s time to do something else.
But first, I’m taking some time off to relax, travel, and dogfood.
I’m a little nervous of what the future’s going to hold, but it feels good.
I'd love to talk with people tomorrow! If you'd like to catch up to talk about tech, software development, art, cats, or something else, book an office hours slot.
