Notes

I want to share my writings to my colleague thorugh my IP before publishing it. So here how I done it:

• Get your IP using the command ipconfig from the terminal.
• Go to your Hugo project’s root directory in your terminal.
• Run the following command, replacing <YOUR_NETWORK_IP> with the IP address.
• hugo server --bind 0.0.0.0 --baseUrl http://<YOUR_NETWORK_IP>:1313
• The server will start, and the output should show the website is available at http://<YOUR_NETWORK_IP>:1313.

I have came across the following article recently.

Software is a bit like this house plant: its wellbeing depends on the folks who constantly tend it. Without us around, it gradually erodes.

I used Google Orkut in the past and I loved it at that time. It was fun to send messages in the scrapbook, cool usernames, and enjoy all the other social media features that felt cool back then. But after the rise of Facebook and other giants, Google shut down Orkut. They sent us an email with a link to download our data archive and said goodbye. I still have those emails from Orkut, and when I read them recently, they gave me a nostalgic happiness.

What I realize now is that everything eventually comes to an end when the gardeners stop tending their gardens. We cannot take it for granted forever. Today we have access to some of the most amazing things in human history. We need to be grateful and enjoy the beauty of it. So keep on gardening, and cherish your fellow gardeners.

This is an interesting read in the middle of AI era.

The pattern of technological transformation remains consistent—sysadmins became DevOps engineers, backend developers became cloud architects—but AI accelerates everything. The skill that survives and thrives isn’t writing code. It’s architecting systems. And that’s the one thing AI can’t do.

Sometimes we all are tired of boring apps and this is letter to all boring apps.

Perhaps it’s part of maturing, but I’m at a point in my life where I don’t want more—I want better. When I use your app, I don’t want to see your company’s KPI. I want to see your point of view. The world should know that you made it. People should feel your passion vibrating off the screen.

The below line is so true and I can vouch with my life:

We write a new tool or a script because we are in a desperate need for a small victory. We write a new tool because we are overwhelmed. Refactor it, not because the code is messy, but your life is.
