My new book is out. I'm running a promotion so it's free until Saturday.

Finally making progress on my new AoT JVM. Spent a lot of time generating LLVM bitcode and parsing bytecode. Still early stages but this is moving nicely.

Non-dev: took delivery of my new custom titanium gravel bike. Took a "mental health" day yesterday, just to go ride it.

Dev: I discovered the joy of Terraform and realized how I can use it to make a pretty sweet elastic multi-region architecture in Azure. I will be using this for my existing super-sekrit project.

Social:
This week I crossed 800 followers here on Dev and started seeing some progress on Twitter followers and newsletter subscribers. Pretty solid for a n00b such as myself.

Work:
Deployed a fairly complex project and had to scale out our queue workers up from 3 to 100 to handle the async load, which was fun. Got some pipeline stuff automated and started review of a security audit.

Personal:
Got my assembly tables put together with magnetic alignment points and (took a peek inside the first box of the kit!).

  • Leader gave super positive feedback on a PowerPoint (google/slide) presentation I did and looks like we're doing a follow up.
  • Super fast turn around for an issue/feature request
  • Not sure if this is a win yet, but found a weird edge case in dotnetcore's SqlClinent library that is not breaky, but introduces a 15s delay on the first connection when using Encryption and the server's cert has an authority CRL that doesn't respond in a timely way) Could be deep in SslStream, maybe not. Investigation begins! Either way, we mocked out the crappy CRL url so it returns quick and the user experience is 15X better on initial connections. (good cert management is another story though... 🙄)

Play Game
Dev.to Post

I started the game project four days ago and made a defense game using React. There are so many bugs though, I enjoyed it and I'm proud of myself finishing it. :)
