Ever wonder how the sausage is made?

Welcome to the Sausage Factory! ™️

Caution

• Colorful language is a possibility. The shit you'll see or read.
• The things I'm imagining existing here will exist purely out of curiosity that I wouldn't do in a repository I cared about.
• Everything will be entirely legal.
• The commit messages will be littered with rage, self-deprecation and colorful language.
• I'll push directly to 'main'. I may not adopt or adhere to (It is a bit muscle-memory) conventional-commits.
• git push -f isn't out of the question.
• git reset --hard is likely.
• I think I've abused this Alert dialog box enough.

What

I need a pig pen (wow, not sure how I got on this pork theme) so to speak. A place where I can experiment and not litter my local development environments. I've tried to use branches and it isn't great. So this repository exists to allow me to do things that I'm too scared to try in another repository.

I'll do a little of everything here

• Go
• Python
• Elixir (been a minute)
• (quick and)"dirty" shell scripts
• HTML
• CSS
• Terraform/OpenTofu
• CI/CD tool evaluations

Things I'm dabbling with at the moment:

• My first GitHub CLI extension written in Go
• My first Hugo Theme. Created with hugo new theme. I haven't done professional web development since 2006. I definitely have not kept up to date on things. Theme is built to be light-weight. Also dipping my toes in the water with TailwindCSS.
• Terraform Modules. I have opinions.
• I've been doing terrible shit to my ~/.zshrc though that feels more like a blog post.

What This Isn't

It's not my personal blog.

Like a lot of personal blogs, mine has been neglected. The majority of the content on it is barely applicable today. And something that's been on my mind is Google results have changed. It feels like queries are often returned with the same few sites as the top results. Good for them and their SEO, but I'm left wondering is the ability to reach folks possible.

Production-worthy Anything

Unless you're looking for new colorful words to add to your git commit messages, nothing here should be used in a professional environment. Inspiration at best on a good day, down wind from this pig pen. If something does come from this space worthy of production, then it'll have its own repository or blog post. Then you can yeet that shit in Prod on a Friday before a holiday weekend.
