I’ve been working across a few branches lately, and couldn’t remember the name of a git branch containing some work I’d done. I did, however, remember the name of an interface I’d defined.

Earlier today I was trying to figure out why I was getting the occasional latency spike. I suspected I had some slow queries that needed optimising, but in order to check I needed to enable slow query logging.

I have very mixed opinions on LLMs, as they stand. This note won’t be digging into my thoughts there - I don’t want to have that discussion. However, while I’m not exactly doing cutting-edge research here, I do put effort into publishing for humans.

I’ve been working on some more frontend code recently, and got quite tired of my import paths looking like this .

Recently I’ve had the need to ignore a folder while searching with ripgrep. Normally rg will ignore anything specified by .gitignore, but I couldn’t set that in this case.

My zsh has been a little slow to start for a while. Never enough to be a significant bother, but always something I’ve been meaning to get around to. Thorsten Ball had a great writeup about this here.
