A couple user accounts, a fair amount of free users/recipe generations right now. Haven't had a ton of time to work on it lately unfortunately. It will follow a freemium model though where anonymous users can generate a limited amount of free recipes per day. Recipe feedback, saving, and future advanced features like saved dietary/family preferences and weekly meal planning will be member only though.

From my first IT job, we ran netcat transfers over port 666 (no idea why, maybe they were all Doom players, but that's what they taught me). I still use it today. After that, port 3306 (17 year MySQL database engineer)

That's the real issue with technology books though. The information gets outdated SO fast so they don't have the staying power. By the time you finish reading one, half the info is obsolete, or newer/better technologies have already replaced it

I used to have a HUGE "nerd library". I've since gotten rid of most all of it (partially because they were all from 20 years ago and are incredibly outdated). But I do have the O'Reilly 4th ed. High Performance MySQL on my shelf next to my desk. Partially because it was written by a former co-worker of mine and partially because it STILL is the go-to bible for in-depth MySQL Performance and optimization

If you use AI in your development workflow AT ALL, you NEED to read this article. I started using the Prompt Contract format listed in the article and after only a couple of days, I've already noticed a significant improvement in my Claude Code output medium.com/@rentierdigital/i…

Every AWS resource needs permissions. Lambda → CloudWatch Logs EC2 → S3 access Amplify → CloudFront That's why the first module in my library is IAM Policy. Simple, foundational, endlessly reusable: medium.com/@desertwebdesigns… #Terraform #AWS #InfrastructureAsCode #DevOps

16 years ago, I was asked in an interview what I thought the most important MySQL configuration setting is. I didn't have a good answer at the time. The interviewer gave me the answer he was looking for and, to this day, I still agree with it! medium.com/@desertwebdesigns…
