Same, this was around 2004-2006ish when I maintained a Gentoo build for my Pentium 4 box. There was this somewhat draw to me of compiling my own binaries highly optimized to my processor and that Portage mostly works. But my gosh, gcc build times are killing the fun. When Ubuntu arrived and saw my peers being productive, I switched.

Interesting, as I kinda share also that there are lines to be drawn between software architecture, design and implementation (all three).

Much like in the real world building of real-estate for example, I see there are different roles between the architect vs the engineers vs. the foremen.

What do you draw the line? What concerns/areas are to be covered in each of these [arch vs design vs implem]?

Also loved that show. It aired through my teen years (90s) in Discovery Channel. There are other similar shows like this such as Next Step.

Getting there to "Skynet", if this takes off. Amazon already is listening via Echo and Ring and now this.

This may also apply to non-CS things you've learned in the past, such us biology, chemistry, physics, math, etc, to a varying degree.

Just checked my EverNote stats for me to comment here. I have 1500+ Notes spanning more than 10 years (since 2011). I have 18 notebooks as major categorization of work-company-A vs ideas vs bookmarks vs project-x .. etc. I use this daily, for tasks, snippets, basic todos both work and personal, and attach rich media (screenshots, code, links) in most notes.

Syncing is also what I'm after and all my devices have EN: macs at home and work, my spare windows laptop, tablets and smarphones (Android). Principle: if its for my personal consumption, I usually put it in my EN, but work stuff are in GDocs/GDrive for shareability. I also limit putting in my notes any sensitive info and credentials, at the very least, for sanity and security purposes, as I have a KeyPassXC for that. I also don't use Evernote specific groupsharing/tasks/other features; it's just the sync-all-my-notes-across-my devices. Syncing works best in their desktop apps for the most part, but buggy in Android (dups, conflicts). Paying $2+USD/mo for this so im not complaining. But it could be better.

Any link to deployable dockerized versions?

Within the past two to three decades at least, I saw much of the tech world grow (for better or worse), benefiting from NIH inclined innovation + OSS bazaar model; some random evolution examples coming to mind include minix vs linux, java vs golang, memcached vs redis, apache vs nginx vs traefik, lxc and docker ... not that the development of the latter was motivated by lacking capabilities of the former, boring tech more or less has been always available but it takes guts and perseverance to embark on a green implementation. We probably have to admit that most of us do have NIH, to some degree.

Try to watch Gary Bernhardt's "Boundaries" screencast (2012), if you haven't yet.

There are also some collection of links in github such as https://gist.github.com/kbilsted/abdc017858cad68c3e7926b0364....

The pattern articulated by Gary also best resonated my thoughts and experience in building software.

I follow the Functional Core, Imperative Shell pattern.

I do TDD on Core, especially on mission critical code.

The Shell however have almost zero automated tests.

To add, HK's land area is orders of magnitude smaller than the U.S. Maybe Americans can simply afford to build on far bigger land given their income.

Yes as I also have several GCam versions on my phone and I'm also a fan of HDR+ and the portrait mode. But we have to admit it has its limits compared against a far bigger sensor with better glass.

I had my Nikon D40 paired with 35mm since 2008 and its shutter failed late last year. It served me well at ~60k shutter count for more than 10years, taking beautiful photos of travel, my kids growing up and many important events; even at a measly 6mp at max 1600 iso, it performed superb.

For almost a year without my DSLR, most of my photos were shot using my LG G6 phone. It was okay and I insisted feeling it was good enough.

It was last Christmas when I was able to borrow a Canon 6Dmk1 paired with a good lens. Boy, I was in for a treat again; the sensor, fast focus, bokeh and low light performance all reminded me how far I've forgotten the joy of getting better pictures using a better camera. Got myself a 77d+24mm soon after to satisfy the cravings.
