As software engineers, especially product engineering, one of our core objectives is to deliver software solutions to customers quickly, while still maintaining the quality of the product. It is not enough to simply produce a product and ship it out - we need to ensure that the product fits the customer’s needs, and can evolve to meet the customer’s changing demands. To achieve this, we need to establish a set of software delivery practices that prioritize speed and iteration to find product market fit....

OpenAI fine-tuning with a notebook in VSCode AI is the future. Co-pilot is the future. Building a finetuned layer for GPT-X will enable products to produce results faster, with less upfront effort for a fraction of the cost. Setting up a training set Let’s assume for this post, is based on some structured data. That structured data has been tagged by a human, and there is a lot of it. Roughly 3 MB of data....

Better does not mean perfect but know that there is growth and that you never truly stop learning. The current me is good enough, I just want to do things better instead of thinking I am doing them better and that requires tracking and measurement. This is my log of things needed to organize my thoughts and be more self-disciplined....

Google GCP CloudSQL PostgreSQL Administration I like to configure most of my infrastructure in Hashicorp terraform. The terraform was not developer friendly in my experience because it had a lot of prerequisites for defining the server config, instead of picking a class that just seems right. Building custom things allows for variance. Thus I built and am administering the CloudSQL artifacts through the desktop cloud SQL interface. So far so good....
