Absolutely love this article, couldn't agree with this more.

Yes unfortunately for a long time my whole life revolved around 'drug culture', and so did of all my 'friends' and my entire social circle.

I certainly cannot act like I did not deserve to come to prison, and it's definitely the only reason I am even alive right now. Coming to prison, specifically in Maine, was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Thanks Gavin! Really appreciate the support.

There is definitely a need for this, great idea!

Looks like there is a TLS cert issue on the public instance, but I'll be sure to check back in a couple days and check it out.

I asked someone else what they use for rust. Normally I get by well enough with good structured tracing but lately that hasn't been cutting it.

Yeah the whole 'git repo = helm chart' just does not feel great at all. As we all know, the only thing worse is not using helm and having to deal with writing all those service, pv, pvc, ingress yaml files individually :)

Fantastic post, definitely could relate to quite a bit of that.

Very cool! I have been using LLDB quite a bit lately so I am eager to try this out. The state of debuggers dev experience really hasn't caught up to what things like Cargo have done for build systems, so I am glad to see people working on things like this.

Congrats OP. also: microsoft teams is an unholy abomination

Reminds me of the scene in Silicon Valley where they team are excited to hear a VC interested in the details so they are explaining the technology on the whiteboard to the "investors" who were a team of engineers eager to copy their tech.

But seriously, it sounds like a weird version of "not invented here syndrome" where you are somehow OK with copy-pasting most of it.

I store my secrets in gpg encrypted files and inject them into my environment in my shell rc file.

AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=$(gpg -d ~/.secrets/aws/key.asc)

type of deal. its annoying to put in a password every time i open a new tmux pane but hey, better than plain text.

fun fact. in federal prisons (and some portion of state prisons), books of stamps are essentially $5 bills. It's common to see people with huge wads of stamps in their pockets much like you would with cash. a few years ago, it became much more difficult to convert stamps back to cash, so a few companies popped up that would accept stamps in the mail for some value on the dollar and books of stamps are the currency of (most) US prisons to this day.
