My Setup For Being Productive

More accurately, after forever and jumping around many tools and approaches to dealing with personal productivity, I have a system that works (for me!). Before beginning with this, some people don’t need any system like this anyway. They just are able to do what they seek out to do with un-fair amounts of preparation and planning, I know shocking! But it is a lot harder for some people (including me!), and just thinking that you are at fault, and you are lazy compared to them is just un-helpful, it helps a lot more to accept that people are different and some have it harder than others in some areas.

IaaC & GCP:The ways of the world!

Idea Recently I had the bright idea that even though I haven’t used IaaC properly yet, I can roll out my own better IaaC solution! Basially, Write TS code for managing infra instead of terraform files! Conclusion Saw AWS SST, inspired me to have something like that for LGF, looked more, and implementing seemed a pain. Best current solutions seems to be using terraform (hcl). Existing Solutions a. Google deployment manager Pros

The Bad habit of reading Reviews!

Okay, this is fairly self-explanatory, I have found myself to have an horrible habit of going to read reviews on the internet - like how others reacted to something I read or watched on Youtube or Reddit, immediately after I have finished that specific media. Sometimes I am just looking for affirmation. GoT jumped shark after season 4, right? right guys? cricket noises intesifies, a specific scene was so well acted, or the score so beautiful, I am seeking validation of my opinion.

The Morning Fever Dream!

Several days I wake up and still be sleep. It’s a fasicnating time of the day for me, probably my favorite time. I have to wake up to start my work, in these days WFH work, but still I like to join at a specific time of the day, routine is good. But the morning is a time when I am calm. and I am asleep. I don’t dream often at night.

The Fantastical Adventures of Monkey King!

Long ago, the realms of Sky and Land were not as mixed as they are today. Sky was the place of Godly Kings. The Land was of animal tribes. Monkeys were one of the more pacifist land tribes, preferring there abode of Flower & Fruit mountain, and it’s not like they had much choice, after all they had none of the brutishness of the Boar or the cunning of the Cat, the animal kingdom was not a kind place for them.

JSON as a programming language!

The basic idea is of adding few selected programming grammar in JSON objects, that would allow us to use JSON for more powerful configuration and describe complex situations without overly complicating the JSON used for configuration. I don’t know if it’s a good idea, and I thought writing about it would help me in evaluating it. After I had defined a simple architecture in my mind, I went to look, if something like this exists, and I found jsonnet which is not JSON but an altogether new language extending JSON.
