Trying to learn an API from clunky documentation in a basically unreadable format.
Created document tree of 18 Markdown files from the Postman doc JSON for the API, so I can a) read it outside of Postman; and b) feed it to #ObsidianMD and let the Graph Analysis plugin help me find hooks within what I’ve studied in the past.

Spent way too long doing this, but I knew it was gonna be the best way for my brain to make any sense of this API.

@IamMrsGeek I thought we had all agreed there would be no more Monday.
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS

Every time I play with a serverless platform I get nostalgic for CGI.
Specifically CGI::Application, but that’s a very particular nostalgia.

Learning my way through AWS Lambda, Serverless Framework, and AWS Step Functions.
On a totally unrelated note: remembering my aerospace class in high school where the teacher mentioned it was fun to watch the ultralight trend reimplement and reinvent established practices, and how we’d all probably see similar cycles a few times in our lives.

@rjbs Similarly, I’d be more aware of its rough edges today. But yep back then it was a great way to organize stuff!

@mwop Did you release it? I vaguely recall puttering with something in PHP that claimed inspiration from CGI::Application. I didn’t stick with it or anything. Just annoyed at Rails and looking at other stuff to work off steam.

working on my notes
“use AWS Step Functions when you realize your microservices shoulda been a monolith”

Sorry I only did Advent of Code back when it was just people sharing cool shit they found.

I’m not gonna celebrate the darkest, coldest, saddest, most miserable time of the year by doing homework.

(looks at work tickets)

(looks at in-progress Serverless notes and code)

@gizmomathboy exactly. “Your gift is more work. Aren’t you lucky?” what sort of calvinist nonsense are they trying to pull

@tk It’s so bad I’m thinking about switching my apps to light mode.
hackers.town: 2023-12-04 Mon 16:51
@tk I’ll hold off until it’s truly desperate, so maybe Wednesday from what the weather forecast is saying.

@lmorchard @tk okay so HDR Valheim should cover it
good to know
