Library management is where Lightroom (and honestly CaptureOne) still wins, I couldn't find a good way to manage a 100k photo library.

I created one project and tried importing the whole library, but it took more than 8 hours and didn't make meaningful progress (~10%?) so I stopped (compared to 15hr for the whole thing in Lightroom).

I also did a project for about 1K photos and while the import worked, the library management itself was lacking. I could not find ways to do image stacks for bursts, group by metadata, etc. The obvious filters are there, but I think it needs more work.

As a weekend experiment, I created DWS Report. A simple news link aggregator site where the layout is modeled after Drudge Report (while I don't agree with the news style, the simple site style is fun).

The engine collects articles from RSS feeds every 15 minutes, has a LLM score the importance of the articles, dedupes via an embedding DB, and then decays article scores over time.

The experiment here was attempting to build a more deterministic LLM workflow, and host something on my own infrastructure + IPs!

I've attempted to move over a few times, and while this is certainly user skill, it just felt too different from screen/tmux. Perhaps I should bite the bullet and force myself to get used to a new paradigm...

Looks fine for now.

I've always loved the aesthetic, quirks, and concepts of Plan9, and I wanted to see how far I could vibe-code a web desktop/OS that resembled it. The result is DWS OS.

My goal was to reach a point where I could build "userspace" apps for this OS, in the OS. DWS OS has a virtual filesystem, an approximation of the ACME editor, file browser, internet browser (just an iframe for fun), and a few other apps to discover.

The environment supports uploading and downloading data from the virtual filesystem, along with support for JavaScript programming within ACME and an API for building GUI apps within DWS OS and interacting with the OS DOM. Lastly, you can export and import the state of your OS as a JSON to share with others! Check out the `examples/` directory!

I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions and see if you build anything interesting within the OS, thanks!

I am teaching myself some more full-stack dev and try out AI assisted coding, I decided to build Terminal Tinder, a way for your machine to learn what colorschemes you like, and maybe generate some novel ones for you.

Would love for people to try it out and hopefully find some fun or use out of it!

Open to feedback, bugs, PR, etc here: https://github.com/tanishq-dubey/TerminalTinder and thanks!

Those sort of problems are more on the product side, along with the regular slew of product development tech problems. On the infrastructure/platform side (where I work) it is remarkably close to "regular tech". Same types of distributed systems problems, database issues, CI/CD pipelines, engineering efficiency, etc. The "new" part here is working with the finance specific areas such as physical data centers and networking to clients, or domain specific items such as data retention for compliance.

  import os

  """
  Imports redacted, but this imports our library
  """

  NAME = "my_app"
  PORT = 5000
  DEPLOY_ENV = os.environ["DEPLOY_ENV"]

  deploy_all(
      create_stateful_service(
          NAME, http_port=PORT, cpu=2000, memory=500
      ),
      create_ingress(
          NAME,
          service_name=NAME,
          service_port=PORT,
          hostnames=["myapp.internal.com"],
      ),
  )
