Programmer Distillation (2013)

I have AWS based services to monitor (servers/websites/etc) and use my homelab system to monitor resources that I am interested in.

I just use a simple script that is run every 60 seconds and a list of resources to check.

“A profound shift is taking place where technology can no longer be thought of as simply a tool to support the business. It has to be thought of as a tool that’s going to innovate the business. With that shift, the traditional role of an engineer will disappear and will be replaced by engineers who understand human interaction and behaviors with technology, because the creation of the technology itself will be done by AI and AI agents. The new breed of engineers will be behavioral experts who develop and deploy tools so people can achieve peak productivity as fast as technologically feasible.”

I'm still in the camp of AI being a great tool, especially for software developers.

"It's an inflection point in the story of life on Earth." — seems a bit too much for me based on where the technologies is today.

The C program converts Markdown (written by the author) to HTML and is run by the author (and therefore no attack surface). Actual hosting uses GitHub Pages so there is nothing to worry about there. Simple; job done.

"The only work I needed to do was to write a C script (which turned out to be ~250 LOC) to call md4c functions and parse my md files, and then chuck those converted files into the GitHub Pages repo."
