I missed the picture of the slide on screen at the contributor summit, but wanted to send out a special congratulations and thank you to @arvindparekh.bsky.social! You've been doing great work in the Kubernetes Community and we wanted to recognize your work in SIG ContribEx with a Contributor Award!
Truly honored to receive this recognition in the Kubernetes community! Very grateful for all the support and guidance I've had along the way, from @kaslin.rocks @chrisshort.net @nabarun.dev, Priyanka & many more! And as @dims.dev once said, "always pay it forward" — I look forward to do just that!

I think sometimes the biggest blocker in productivity is the ability to feel. As humans, we are able to imagine what doing a particular task would feel like (that feeling might not even be true!) 👇🏻

Features implementation, check ✅
Onto the testing part now, let’s hope it works!
Abstraction remains and that is a huge pain :’(

it’s time to implement new features to the calendar application:
- add support for timezones
- add functionality to create multiple cals
- copy events from one cal to another
- improved command set
coding this in java is the real pain (or fun, depends)
will complete it by this friday!

im working on a cli calendar application (like google calendar) in java and it is coming up pretty strong!
have tested it, and it works so far!
- create events, autoDecline them if conflicts
- create single and recurring
- edit properties, add desc, location, public/private
- query event(s) & more

I'm trying to built an AI agent using the various tools and frameworks available and I'm shocked at how bad everything from the libraries and documentation are. Maybe it's just early, but I'd expect a 2015 level of quality before promising the whole world is about to change.

i guess its time to batch load the data; i regret not doing it sooner
imagine making an error in the next part now and having to re-load the entire data :'(
happy saturday y'all!

A quick thought on Design Patterns:
I had the chance to work with design patterns this semester in my academic setting, and they’re amazing! Naturally, I thought about reading more books on them. But here’s something I’ve realized:

straight lines on log scale graphs in thorough research papers are significantly more convincing to me than marketing speak — AI progress is real and it's happening fast, props to @metr.org for this new paper making sense of it

google calendar + a double pomodoro is my best productivity hack.
and yet I still find myself looking for alternatives.
do you HAVE a better alternative?

have been reading up on the koch snowflake algorithm and it's interesting. if you see a snowflake closely, you'll notice how every 'branch' has more 'branches' sprawning from it that looks like itself.
those are called fractals. fractals, briefly understood, are geometrical shapes that displays..->
