Did two mock interviews for two kids preparing for Google round 2 (while I'm yet to hear back from mine - certainly hope I pass!). It is a bit draining to listen through (while keeping track of) one's approach but I think I ask good questions after that. More importantly, I guess I still have a […]

I'm thinking of writing a toy workflow engine that takes in webhook events or RSS articles and executes a series of steps, like manipulating the data and interacting with other REST APIs, but not starting any new container (which is why I wanted something simpler and not involve k8s). Any advice […]

Fix the content shift issue for the main image container on my #website's home page (https://austinhuang.me). Should I fix the content shift in the headline (due to fonts) or leave it as-is? I tried buding a fallback font face but it doesn't seem to have worked Maybe I should not over-optimize...
I am a master's graduate who dabbles with tech, takes photos, and tries to make it in New York.

So my first #blog post in a while (read: like 5 years?) is a #yearinreview (since I just finished my master's program too).

@lianna I am on Element Nightly 2025122401 on desktop, it does properly process matrix.to links in the search bar (as in if I paste a matrix.to link to a room then it will strip the irrelevant parts and prompt you the room).

Happy holidays! As expected I was at @nytransitmuseum.bsky.social's holiday nostalgia ride, so here are some pics from the trains. Nice that the holiday train shows on station countdown clocks this year!

Heard Beds are Burning once on World Cafe and now I can't stop thinking about it... Gotta say, I feel like it's one of the songs that you'd want to scream out of your chest even if you're not a rock person, on top of, y'know, being incredibly relatable to many of us and having fairly […]
