| 1 | +Starting a dev log. |
| 2 | +Within this log I'll be posting some of my thoughts and experiences throughout the week. |
| 3 | +We'll see how long I can keep this going. |

| 6 | +Last week we read 'A Few useful things to know about machine learning' by Pedro Domingos. |
| 7 | +It was an interesting, albeit long read. I learned some simple ways LLMs are trained. |
| 8 | +But the high level parts were too high level for me. |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +This week we read Overton: A data system for Monitoring and Improving Machine-Learned Products, by |
| 12 | +Christopher Re, Feng Niu, Pallavi Gudipati and Charles Srisuwannanukorn. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +This one made a bit more sense, but only barely. It contained some examples that were helpful though. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Started Vibe Coding with Cursor this week. |
| 17 | +Cursor is quite the powerful tool. At some point I'll put into writing how I feel about |
| 18 | +the advent of powerful LLMs. I'm trying to divorce the name AI from the concept because |
| 19 | +indeed this is not Artificial Intelligence, that much is clear. But I don't know |
| 20 | +how much that matters right now. |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +That being said, it is pretty fun. |
| 23 | +I first had it create a a Project Management tool for me. |
| 24 | +I called it DORA, based on King Gidora from the Godzilla movies. |
| 25 | +This is because JIRA is based on Godzilla (Gojira). |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Then I had it create a gamified to do list. |
| 28 | +I followed that up with this blog website. |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +The idea behind this devLog is that I can easily update it and have it |
| 31 | +connected to my portfolio, without having to make direct changes |
| 32 | +to it or host the posts somewhere. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +The way it works is: |
| 35 | + 1. Create a post md |
| 36 | + 2. Make sure its in the posts folder |
| 37 | + 3. Add it to the posts.json |
| 38 | + 4. Push the changes to github |
| 39 | + 5. Git actions pushes changes to my portfolio |
| 40 | + 6. Give it a few minutes |
| 41 | + 7. ???? |
| 42 | + 8. Profit! |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +So far so good, all the projects are up and hosted on github. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +I did run into some issues this week, such as breaking my Operating System, oops. |
| 47 | +Resetting my setup and workflow was annoying but, you learn lessons from such mistakes. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +On to next week. |
