Learning Prometheus maybe an effective way

Finnaly, the whole alarm process worked out today ! During the process, I found myself lack of more knowlege about Docker/Kubernetes which I will manage all them sooner or later.

Prometheus is a powerful tool to monitor the state of microservice. Its design is worth learning. I have downloaded all the source codes , its clear design impress me deeply. The design is a little different from the normal way Chinese codes usually take.

The end of Silicon Valley

Finally I have finihsed watching the entire HBO series “Silicon Valley” after having seen the first four seasons several years ago. Back then, I was more struck by the unique humor of coders - a distinct group in a unique phase of society. However, this time, the spirit of being a geek left a profound impression on me. In other words, I finally understood the essence of technology.

The leading role, Richard, is not handsome, not is he a hero. On the contrary, he is selfish, awkwardly thin and sometimes a typical jerk. However, when I consider his position from another perspective, I cannot be certain that I would behave any better than him. Not to mention, he has a great programming talent. There were several moments when I realized that humanities exists in this coding spirit instead of those philosophical books in HISTORY.

Maybe English is more likely to make me think more

Initially, due to issues with my Visual Studio Code IDE, I couldn’t type Chinese. I was forced to write my thoughts in English, which led to the birth of these English blog posts.

As time went on, I discovered that using a language I’m less familiar with compelled me to express ideas more simply and organize my thoughts more carefully. Additionally, I noticed that the most readable technical books I’ve read were predominantly in English. Furthermore, LLMs seem to handle English queries more efficiently and effectively.

Some thoughts about tools ideas

Not even a good shell tools found under windows for now. This leads me to think that if I can develop it in Rust or Golang.

My demands are simple, a beautiful GUI , a tool for transfer files, uploading or downloading.

Maybe I will try electron, but the size is so big, I am hesitating about it.

And probably fyne.io or Wails are also alternatives I would choose.

As I want to grasp Rust programming language, sometimes I want to develop one by Rust language either.

A new Hugo theme switched on my blog

This is probably my last time switching to a theme made by others. That’s my commitment.

Moving forward, I plan to create my own theme using my frontend knowledge and build it entirely from scratch.

I have to admit that choosing a blog theme can be quite anxiety-inducing.

From now on, I will focus on my first source code reading series about Prometheus.

I plan to share my understanding through a series of articles.

The Silicon Valley

It’s been years since I last wrote a blog—not even one in Chinese. I’d almost forgotten how to generate a new post with Hugo. So much has changed, and life’s pressures have piled up in ways words can hardly capture. Maybe that line from Friends rings true: “Life sucks, but you’re gonna love it.”

The years have been a mix of highs and lows. There were moments when motivation vanished entirely, leaving me silent, unable to articulate even the simplest feelings.
