I'd need to set up ubuntu, but I didn't want to lose my home directory. Everything was in one partition, so I'd lose my home folder with a re-install. I didn't want this, so I moved it into another partition.
The new partition would be the size of my home …
"We've got this project on kubernetes that you'll be helping maintain"
This started my journey with kubernetes. I found a great tutorial from freecodecamp and this blog is an attempt to set up some personal projects using it. It's best to read the original though as it's more in-depth.

Kindle saves highlights, bookmarks and notes in a My Clippings.txt file. I needed a way to parse it and filter out the content I wanted. I also wanted to work on a parser in haskell, so this was a great opportunity to get my hands dirty.

Example usage of this is:
import timeit
timeit.timeit('list(range(100))')
def greet():

I've worked with codebases that have made me frustrated. Some of the **features** I've seen include:
I use vimwiki to keep a track of my notes. This includes book summaries, linux commands, recipes and miscellanous content. It's an amazing vim plugin that provides easy access and navigation to the content. This however works well only within vim.
I occasionally need to access these notes outside vim …
