Using Claude Code to reorganize and reformat my website (built with Quarto), big fan

I’ve been bad about consistently posting on here, this will be the start of me changing that.

I got Pokemon FireRed yesterday it feels the same as it did when I was a kid, if you’re a fan of the series you’ll have a blast!

Picked up chriskornaros.dev today. Bulking up the website with cooking recipes from my non-professional content (and personal favorites), as well as a Python deep dive, finally finishing my Docker guide, and blogs

Thoughts on Plane after using it in January:

- Overall, covers the basics that I’m used to with other tools
- Nice structure, but heading a diff direction than current PM tools
- Not enough flexibility with templates/automation

My productivity is definitely up, for content it is great. I’m a fan

Plane is all setup now, took me a bit to figure out, but their team had some helpful tips. Just need to setup some future cycles and repos.

I will probably do a write up and share my boards publically sometime around March, really enjoying the productivity this year

New Year’s Resolution this year is to just maintain my good habits from last year and improve on them. So far, I’ve setup Plane to track all of the things I’m working on: content, side projects, learning, etc.

This year is off to a solid start

Shoutout to Oura (the smart ring company). I’ve had mine since the beginning of 2025, but I’ve had huge battery degradation issues (went from 5-6 days on a full charge to less than 2). I posted to Reddit, got an answer in 5 minutes, used their chatbot and my replacement was approved.

10/10 support

This is such a strange data point, because this should be glaringly obvious to a ST coach. Especially the backing up, since that only accomplishes reducing space available to the returner… I would love to have this explained from a coaching POV/at least what the intent is, since it isn’t working

Great read!

😂

I also highly recommend using the chat based LLM tools as a pair programmer. I really enjoy the workflow of bouncing off ideas and then implementing, or using that as a basis for where I really need to go

Had it running in a minute or so on just one market, ~1-2 million rows. Ran it with all markets and it was hitting memory limits and failing. Used Deep Research to pull this apart and find areas for optimization. Now, full dataset was used to build the table in ~45 seconds.

Optimization feels good

I’ve been working on a C-Suite high priority ask recently. About the last 3.5 weeks straight of nothing but this.

Taking a table in Snowflake with ~90 million rows, doing some drastic transformations/reordering of timestamps + metrics based off those and historical performance.

Was going to recommend the Billy, it’s great for the price

Can’t wait to see the progress, sounds pretty cool

What are you hoping to use your lab for? General selfhosting, or more specific use cases/projects?

Superman is great, worth it to see in imax, in my opinion.

Gunn definitely has a clear style to his superhero features and it shows (in a great way) with Superman and the film’s aesthetics

I will check this out, thank you!!

As an analytics engineer who really enjoys data and the entire technical architecture. Are there any good public databases or open questions that could be a good starting point?

I love learning and doing data science outside of work, I’m curious on how to get started with the field

Great read, Derek Goat does it again 🫡

Israeli Officials Warn Iran Is Hijacking Security Cameras to Spy Iran is tapping into private security cameras in Israel to gather real-time intelligence about its adversary, exposing a recurrent problem with the devices that has emerged in other global conflicts.

Israel told citizens to turn off security cameras to prevent Iran from hacking and spying on troop movements or to adjust missile strikes

It did the same after the October 7 attack.

Ukraine has been telling the same to its citizens for 3 years.

Just wrapped up a 4 hour deployment to cap off a ~15 hour work day, but dang feels good to get stuff into production

Whoever at Microsoft decided to have ‘Chris’ autocomplete as Christmas, in Outlook, why?

It’s a goofy decision and makes me sweat everytime I sign an email 😂
