If you manage to push it all the way down directly in the middle it boings forever

Yes but I actually didn’t end up building any of the tile logic in python. I used PostGIS and Postgres. Each query is like 25 lines and supports polys and lines out the box.

Pulumi doesn’t have a framework for general CICD but from my experience it shifts the complexity out of the bash/yaml scripts and allows me to express it in python and the I can run unit tests and easily run it locally. Our use case is rather simple though, just a fast api backend and front on ECS.

I’ve been using Pulumi automation in our CI and it’s been really nice. There’s definitely a learning curve with the asynchronous Outputs but it’s really nice for building docker containers and separating pieces of my infra that may have different deployment needs.

Slightly off topic but why is everyone switching to these really wide fonts?

Do you actually enjoy the process of writing online?

Because for me I’ve realized there’s a difference between enjoying actually doing a hobby versus just fantasizing about what it would be like to be good at it.

Maybe that’s not what you’re experiencing, but I’ve tried to get into hobbies and have run into the feeling you describe. Eventually I would drop the hobby because I just didn’t enjoy doing it.

Ps congrats on writing online :)

i sometimes get really bad bouts of chronic bronchitis for 3 weeks on end. There’s no silver bullet but I really like Vic’s vapor rub, a humidifier, and ricola cough drops. To sleep, I usually stack 2/3 pillows so my nose drains properly. When I wake up in the middle of the night hacking, I sit in the shower with a ton of steam.

I used this in my software testing class. It was really cool! Although interfacing with LLVM was not very fun, I feel like I could’ve spent a lot more time learning the innards of this tool instead of fighting with llvm and C++.

If you have the time maybe look towards a community college and take a modern mechanics class! I took one in undergrad and it gives you insight into special relativity and basic quantum. Though I don’t remember a lot of it, it was really exciting to be able to practice the math and be able to ask the professor my questions.

I feel like with these topics you need to dive into the details to gain a strong understanding but then you only realize how much there is to learn.
