Thoughts on tech

This post will be a walkthrough of installing litestream in a docker container that runs my FastAPI app in order to replicate the sqlite db in the data...

I am starting to think through some patterns for replicating sqlite databases, exploring them, standardizing on schemas/models I use across projects, etc......

docker bind mounts are specified as filepaths - this is very intuitive. I want /path/to/directory on my host to be shared with /another/path/foo in a...

Git is for everyone # I just started listening to localfirst.fm podcast podcast and would recommend it after 2 episodes. In the first episode, the hosts discuss where the term comes from, what it means, and examples of some localfirst, or semi-localfirst projects. One of them is the de-facto standard by which developers share code today. There’s a reason it’s the standard. I’m not arguing that it’s perfect, and there’s new abstractions that may help people adopt usage like jujutsu, but ultimately is a great tool, and anyone can use it who works with text files (lookin at you book-writing nerds) But as I was enjoying the pod the co-host/guest said “and we all know the git user experience isn’t that great” heavy sigh Git isn’t that hard - you probably just aren’t that good at it It’s OK # Don’t hear me say that you suck at git like that’s a bad thing… It’s totally fine to not be a wizard.

But one of the things that got me recently was starting to keep a folder that ran code based on what was in or (I’m working on that…) being installed in the virtual environment… so I’d or (kind of depends on the structure) and then in I’d have …. Running scripts has never been a problem… but I’ve always kept them in the root of the repo OR inside or in a nested directory… So here’s where I learned a little something about vs Example # I setup a short example repo to illustrate the problem link to repo The repo structure is very simple… and are the same code: and then: The rest of the structure is from basically, then will make your virtual environment, and will install the library in editable mode. So what’s the problem? # Let’s run Nice! It works just like we’d expect… What about? Come again for big fudge... Ok let’s stay calm and troublesh…
