In 2024 I leaned on LLMs to get several personal projects done (around 20).

If you have been following me on BlueSky or have read my recent posts here you will be aware I am a happy LLM user for coding projects.

I use Gemini for coding, a lot.

During the writing (and rewriting) of my last two posts I had this idea: what if we could leverage LLMs for a closed-loop rewriting cycle?

I got some questions about how exactly did I use Gemini when creating a project, after posting my previous post.

A year ago I didn’t think much of LLMs for coding.

A lot of my projects involve a great deal of I wonder what the result might look like.

I am a big fan of Concept maps, but writing them in Graphviz is annoying.

I know, I have been silent for quite a while.

Welcome!

There’s as a scarcity of themes for this edition: just (not counting miscellaneous stuff, sure) SRE and how to learn things

Had some stuff going on that ate all my available time.

Trying a cross between the old format and the new format (since there are people who like both)

If you are reading this as a subscriber, you’ll see some difference.

Feeling less tired this weekend.

Playing with stable diffusion on your own machine is great.

The stuff I have pending to read keeps increasing lately.

This post is about how I manage my tasks and projects using Obsidian with the Dataview plugin.

Slowly, very slowly, cleaning up my reading list.

I have been busy.

Slightly shorter because I’ll be on holidays.

This is the next installment on my quest to read and help understand interesting papers in the data space.

Spent a week in Switzerland… and on the flight back caught COVID.

A new entry on the data papers series.

Shit ain’t gettin' better.

This has been a really tough week.

I was on J on the Beach, so skipped last weekend.

I took some days off for Easter, and I definitely needed them.

A middle-of-the-week one because it’s Easter and I may not write this during days off.

It has been a while since my previous data paper.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

This turned out a long one

Trust between business stakeholders and engineering (and data, analytics, operations…) teams is a tricky matter.

Meetings galore.

Слава Україні!

I have been using templates to add recurrent tasks to my daily journal in Obsidian.

The dbt issue

Next week I’m on holidays!

RIP Michael (originally Marvin) Lee Aday, Meat Loaf 🤘

Haven’t read much these days, but luckily I have not added much to the list either.

Another week gone by, with a long list of readings seen pass.

Happy new year!

A bit of Sunday-inspired yak shaving

Christmas edition!

End of year cleanup, so a lot of goodies this time

In which I write some easy Alloy code for a data model, with change over time.

Back on track.

An unusual collection of links.

This is a light edition.

As usual, skipping an edition means a longer collection later on.
