All dev this week has been in vim, and it’s working out very well for me. My config is here: https://github.com/anthonyjmartinez/vim-config

In the 20yrs I’ve been a #linux user I’ve always used vi(m) as my editor of choice, but it wasn’t until this week that I bothered to add a single plugin or add more than some filetype/extension-based indentation preferences to my .vimrc. Today, I managed to get quite a lot of development done without launching VS Code once. Not mad about that one bit.

Nobody seems to enjoy documenting their tools, but it seems that people also really hate when production lines are stopped due to a change in an undocumented system breaking their end of line test.

If only there was a way to avoid such work stoppages...

Yarn progress. May only have a week or two left before I finish spinning this single. Plying should not take very long afterwards.

Finished my self-defined let’s go ahead and write yet another implementation of “tail” in #Rust project today. It’s about 100 lines of code, and I built it as a library with a “reasonably sane” default implementation in an accompanying binary. Need to write some tests and documentation and then perhaps I will actually release the thing on crates.io

Haven’t made it as far in my Rust adventures as I would have liked today, but I didn’t get totally stumped. For every #rust project I start I probably complete four #python projects, but this is most likely because I’ve been messing with Python for decades and only recently started to dabble in Rust.

Last day on quarantine. Suppose I'll work on some #rust programming with the hopes of gaining better proficiency. I'd like to get my Rust to where my Python is so I can rapidly develop solutions with either language based on my needs.

First time spinning dyed wool, and first time spinning in The Netherlands. What else am I to do on quarantine?

Perhaps on my upcoming flight back to The Netherlands I’ll have a chance to really outline the recent work I’ve done to extend a service portal’s RBAC to OpenSSH certificates that tighten down console access in thousands of embedded systems across my network.

Mounted my Grandpa’s old vise to my bench.

Happy birthday to me, I pre-ordered the Librem 14 to serve as my next machine.

Finished my small workbench. No nails or screws, just joinery. Legs are glued into the feet, but the rest is just friction fit for now. It ain’t perfect but it’ll do. Learned a lot in the process too.

If the “solution” to the problem is to disable certificate validation, the problem is much deeper than your TLS failures.

At SEATAC waiting to return home. There’s an observable demographic trend for those either outright not wearing masks, or wearing them in such a way as to be exactly as useful as not wearing one at all.

Almost done. Chopping mortises in the Texas heat is not the greatest, but I will live.
