This is awesome and I love it. Thanks for sharing! I'm just wondering what made you wanna be a pilot instead of sticking with a regular software engineering career, especially since you’ve got a degree in that and, of course, your talent here :)
Mermaidjs is amazing. you could ask LLM to visualise your question (e.g codebase) using mermaidjs syntax and it mostly works just fine without any syntax errors. or at least on Claude Sonnet 3.5 from my experience
i often browse the web for fun (but in a careful way), I can totally see how changing up the CSS class names in the site’s HTML regularly would mess up a bunch of the XPATH/CSS selectors in the crawler. It’d seriously be a nightmare for me if the site owners could just flip a 'switch' and change the class names easily
this! im selling a subscription with this pricing model and it’s quite painful to swallow. having that said i really enjoy using lemon as my payment processor
i think this advice is a bit too vague and it's just something people say to sound smart to trick people into thinking there's a shortcut to mastery
i genuinely believe that if you work hard to hone your skill on something, it will do you good. if you want to get good at something, you gotta put in the hours, the grind. e.g. to learn how to play a tennis, you gotta, you know, actually get down to the court and play tennis instead of watching tutorial on how to play tennis. Same goes with programming, music, etc.
now pair working hard with the ability to retrospect -- you'll master a lot of skills in life
just wanted to say actively trying to get bored is some of the best things that i've done for myself as an adult in a dopamine-driven world (exercising aside). i'm not saying to do nothing at all, but trying to be bore yourself whenever you're off work. some examples are like instead of scrolling your phone whenever you're in public transit, just do nothing.
i hope they'll eventually support Mermaid (https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid) for creating diagrams directly within documents. i've been using it a lot for my markdown files and it works amazingly well with LLMs (e.g. asking LLM to generate the diagram representation of something using Mermaidjs)
slightly unrelated to the post: does anyone know any similar blog posts as such about people writing about their life? especially in areas of the world that is less known of?
another one that i really like is https://brr.fyi/ where he posts life working at the antarctica
out of curiosity: is there a specific reason to use robinraju/release-downloader@v1 over actions/download-artifact@v4 here at your 'Download previous DB' step in build_db.yml?
