Comment on Searchable db/Knowledge Management Software
moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 3 weeks agoThere are a few reasons why I really like it being public, even though it means I have to be careful not to share sensitive stuff.
- It creates a portfolio for me (I’m an undergrad) because I document my projects on there
- When asking for help with certain things, it’s really easy to simply link to my blog, since I document almost everything I do as I go. Here’s a recent example
- I can share cool stuff I have saved, like my lists of learning resources or lists of software, with others easily.

I worked in the construction field as a mech eng in hvac. The rule of thumb then was ‘If you didn’t write it down, it didn’t happen’. So that sort of carried over to my personal life as well. I document just about everything I enter into a terminal. I probably spend as much time in a notepad as I do in a terminal, but it has saved my ass on so many occasions, especially with my shit memory. And I can step by step through stuff I’ve already tried so I don’t waste time reinventing the wheel. Like right now I am in a battle with AIDE and trying getting it to write to the db ffs, so it can remember what it already scanned.
Yeah…that’s way over my head. LOL I mean, I know what Incus is, but beyond that, hell I do good just understanding Docker, which really is a pretty nifty way to do things on a server. Maybe one day I’ll get there, perhaps after K8s, but by that time there will be something else to learn.
What are you studying? I read your resume. I assume you are working towards something in the IT field.
