I instruct sonnet-3.7-thinking in Cursor Agent mode to draw latex tikz diagrams for me and that works iteratively quite well. Draw a circle, add a label to the circle, draw a box right to it, draw an arrow from the circle to the box, and so

I think we need to distinguish between two cases: For a hobby project, using Docker Compose or Podman combined with systemd and some shell scripts is perfectly fine. You’re the only one responsible, and you have the freedom to choose whatev

If docker compose is not enough I would suggest to look into some of the lightweight k8s distributions like k3s, with low ressource consumption and able to operate on a single node.

Even better is to just focus on the here and now. The past cannot be changed and the future is just a mental construct, both can cause anexity and endless thinking.

For this purpose you would likely not buy ordinary consumer disks but rather bullet proof enterprise HDDs. Otherwise a signifcant amount of the 5556 disks would not survive the first year, assuming the are under constant load.

Thanks to LLMs, we are quite close to achieving this. I can write code in Python (sometimes even plain english), and GPT can convert it to Go or even Haskell if I like. The conversion is accurate 95% of the time on the first attempt in my u

The best codebase is the one you fully understand. I prefer codebases that are small enough to understand within a week. This is why I like Microservices. Large codebases can be overwhelming and even senior developers working a decade in th
