Hi, I'm starting #100daysofcode challenge today[I coded for a few days now, but today decided to join it.]
I want to see if I can code for 100 days, and will update hopefully often on here to hold myself accountable[even just to share what i'm learning]. I post something on here later.

新书发布甘遂《尊严的颓败》

甘遂《尊严的颓败》:一部融合哲思、生命体验与美学探索的当代杂文力作
近日,独立艺术家甘遂的全新杂文集《尊严的颓败》正式出版。这部凝聚作者二十余年思想沉淀的作品,以其深邃的哲思、真挚的情感与独特的艺术视角,为读者呈现了一幅关于人性、精神、生活与美学的立体图景。

《尊严的颓败》全书分为三辑,结构清晰,意蕴深远。第一辑《拾光叩问:〈幽栖手记〉》是全书的思想核心,围绕人性、精神、情感、命运等根本命题展开深刻探讨。作者以冷静而温暖的笔触,剖析现代人普遍面临的精神困境:在物质繁荣的表象下,是精神的荒芜与尊严的流失。书中引入物理学“反熵”概念,提出生命的意义在于以有序对抗混乱,而创造——无论是艺术创作还是日常劳作中的坚守——正是守护个人尊严的核心力量。面对命运的无常与存在的焦虑,作者倡导在虚无与希望之间,以创造与坚持完成对自我的救赎。

第二辑《时光切片:〈一段时光的生活随笔〉》则转向细腻的日常书写。从《宁静》《散步》中对独居生活的静观,到《劫后余生》里对暴力经历与人性冷暖的反思,再到《读〈美丽人生〉》中对爱与勇气的礼赞,作者将宏大的哲思落于具体的生命体验。45则《遐思札记》更是以碎片化的形式,触及艺术、孤独、欲望等多重主题,展现其敏锐的感知力与深刻的洞察。

第三辑《美学视角下的感知场域》系统阐述了作者的艺术主张。甘遂批判现代教育对感知力的扼杀,提出“生活美学是缓慢时光里的自由”,强调艺术的本质在于心灵对真实的逼近,而非功利的附庸。书中重点探讨“超意识形态艺术”,分析其模糊性、碎片性等特征,并结合自身在国画、雕塑领域的实践,深入解析“美的完整性”“艺术与自然的意味”等核心理念,为当代艺术创作提供了富有启发性的新方向。

《尊严的颓败》不仅是一部思想深邃的杂文集,更是一位实践者的生命之书。作者甘遂曾经历雕塑工厂关停等人生起伏,书中的文字既是其对社会现实的深刻观察,也是自我疗愈与精神沉淀的结晶。全书融合哲学、心理学、物理学等多领域知识,行文流畅,引经据典却不失温度,既有对资本逻辑操控下的社会评价体系的辛辣批判,也饱含对普通人困境的理解与共情。

在信息碎片化、节奏高速化的今天,《尊严的颓败》提醒我们放慢脚步,回归内心,在感知与创造中重建精神的秩序与生命的尊严。这是一本值得反复阅读、与之对话的书,它邀请每一位读者,在喧嚣时代中,共同探寻属于自己的精神家园。

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm Shailendra, an SRE/DevOps engineer with 3+ years of experience working with Linux, Kubernetes, AWS, and Terraform. I spend most of my days managing infrastructure, handling incidents, and automating things that shouldn't be manual.
Just published my first article on Dev.to
I'm planning to write more about real-world DevOps/SRE experiences — the kind of stuff you actually face in production, not just tutorial-level content.
Excited to be part of this community. Happy to connect with fellow DevOps folks here!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Khurram, a Software Architect currently working remotely. I’ve been in the game for about 18+ years across Management, Dev, and DevOps. Even after nearly two decades, my favorite place to be is still hunched over my laptop, deep in code!

Lately, I’ve been having a bit of an 'identity crisis' with AI. 😅 I love coding, but AI is starting to beat me at my own game! I recently built a project, mtkits.com, in just a few days, almost entirely through technical instructions to AI. It’s fascinating but also humbling—especially when AI gets hopelessly stuck on UI tasks, and I have to step in to 'save' it.

I’m here to share my experiences transitioning from old-school architecture to AI-assisted development. I just posted my first deep dive here about smashing a major migration in 2 days using Codex and GPT-5.1.

Looking forward to connecting with you all!

I look forward to sharing my experience and knowledge within the Dev community. We never stop learning, and some of the best learning experiences come from our peers.
