dcardoza··on Show HN: Codesprint – A LeetCode Typing Trainer
Nice work! I just started learning how to touch type and have been wanting some code-specific training to help improve my symbol wpm. This is perfect.
dcardoza··on Ask HN: What metrics do you pay attention to?
What I currently track:

   - Hours of sleep per day
   - Calories burned per day
   - Calorie intake per day
   - Caffeine per day (mg)
   - Financial Portfolio performance every few days
   - Monthly spend on different categories (eg. food, housing, misc)
   - Squat, bench, deadlift numbers
What I want to track:

  - Water per day
  - Blood levels. I'd love to get bloodwork done very 6months to a year?
  - Books read (mostly so I read more)
  - Blogposts written
  - Code written? Whether its a personal project, random scripts, leetcode puzzles. Helps me realize if I'm doing what I want vs. spending my time elsewhere.
Definitely more I want to track. Love seeing everyone else's ideas.
dcardoza··on Ask HN: What internet/tech podcasts do you listen to?
Dan Carlin's Hardcore History - Excellent podcast about history. The 'Prophets of Doom' episode is my favourite.

Darknet Diaries - Hacking / technology.

Planet Money - Short episodes on economics and money

Acquired - Analysis of Companies

Tim Ferris Show - He interviews interesting people. Hit or miss for me.

Lex Fridman - High quality interviewees but Lex Fridman is hit or miss.

Joe Rogan Experience - Plenty of great episodes. Episodes vary dramatically in quality.

dcardoza··on New for AWS Lambda – Container Image Support
This is great. I recently went through the exercise of deploying a periodic lambda function using AWS SAM. The development workflow was great, except when I needed binary dependencies for the MSSQL database driver. Learning and using Lambda layers was cumbersome and the bulk of the dev time. This change will make the lives of engineers in docker shops much easier.
dcardoza··on Pulumi – Modern Infrastructure as Code
I have been wanting to try Pulumi out for a while. As an avid terraform user, I welcome the ability to use a proper language instead of the declarative HCL. For those who have migrated from terraform -> Pulumi, what are the biggest cons you've experienced?
dcardoza··on Sovereign: Ansible playbooks to build and maintain your own private cloud
They do complement one another but docker has tooling that solves similar problems. Does docker-compose (https://docs.docker.com/compose/) fit your needs?
dcardoza··on Ask HN: What interesting problems are you working on?
That's really cool! I just started learning about constraint programming using Z3, and scheduling is the first area I'm looking at. Do you have any advice or resources you found useful? Much of the underlying theory goes over my head, but I'm not sure how much of it I need to be productive.
dcardoza··on WTF: A personal information dashboard for your terminal
I love Go specifically for this purpose. I wrote a simple server doing exactly that with Twilio: https://github.com/dang3r/jenophone/
