"You can use ai to learn insanely fast or use it as a crutch" - facts

This is what I have been working on for the past week: a "Hello World" project for DevOps. It includes automation through GitHub Actions, hosted on GCP using Terraform. I learned a lot from all of it. It is really difficult to learn all this stuff, not because it is hard, but because platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP are paid services; they won't let you run anything on their servers without a paid account, but it's okay. I am here to share all the things I learned. I plan on writing docs explaining how I made the repo this week so you won't miss out.

Waited 14min for my ci to fail, great!

I really hope you guys claim this, they have soooooo much free resources.

How I Got GitHub Copilot for Free So basically, GitHub has a Student Developer Pack that gives verified university students access to a bunch of free developer tools and resources. All I needed was my university email(zekariyasam@hilcoeschool.com) and proof that I was actually a student, such as my university ID. Once you get verified, you can access a bunch of student benefits, including things like: - GitHub Copilot - Microsoft Azure credits - Free domains - GitHub Pro - JetBrains student access - Free courses and learning platforms - Heroku credits - Developer and security tools

Working with Google Cloud and Cloud Run (which is basically Google's serverless hosting like vercel) made me really see how unbelievably massive it all is, not only to execute this huge platform but to manage it as well. It really is a marvel of engineering.

Give my G here a follow he does some cool AI related researches.

as for now, here is a paper I was writing, I intended to write this in a blog post but for now its a pdf

Today I was experimenting with Docker Compose and finally got it working: - A database container - A frontend container - A backend container A counter that adds numbers to the database through the backend. I learned a lot from it.

Never mind this one is so good 😭😭😭😭😭🤧.

Update: "Knowing how to do frontend or backend, or even both, isn't good enough specifically with all these AI tools getting better," a senior of mine said, "You also need to be able to do DevOps, to be all-around and a generalist." So that's what I am doing lately, trying to learn Docker (Docker? I don't even know her!), Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, and so on. And honestly all this are quite overwhelming, coming at you from all angles but one YouTube video at a time I guess.

Why does OpenAI have torturing devices 😭.

Set an impossible time block... make it really tight I’m 100% sure from my own experience that this will improve your speed and focus. When you challenge yourself with less time, your brain adapts and finds a better way to work. Try it tomorrow on one task. Set a shorter deadline than usual and see what happens. If it works for you, come back and share your results. @OnyxDesignx

This is an in-depth look at how data should move between servers and clients in the modern web, adapting intelligently as server and client workloads change. This is why i'm building my own representation-Aware UI Transport Protocol. https://www.kinfish.dev/articles/rsc-raw-data-and-the-transport-layer-we-are-missing

Work desk set up btw, just needs 2 more monitors.

I got tired of sending .env files in chat groups and manually copying variables into the right folders. It was slow and insecure. So I built share-env. With one command, it encrypts every .env file in your project into a single encrypted file that you can commit like any other source code.Your teammate pulls the latest changes, runs one command, enters the shared passphrase, and every .env file is restored to the correct location automatically. If there are conflicts, share-env shows a per variable diff directly in the terminal, so you can resolve them quickly.Built with scrypt and AES-256-GCM. No server. No signup. Nothing to host. The encrypted file is safe to keep even in a public repository. npm i -g @sifenfisaha/share-env Open source: share-env @sifendev
