Developers: “I wish I could run AI locally without all the setup.” Docker: “Say less.”

@hummusonrails.com dropped a 🔥 blog on the new Docker Model Runner:

Hey! Nice to hear from you. 🙂

It’s a WiFi router that enables easy built in use of VPNs.

Travel router configured to my home router and other VPNs ready to go.

Never travel without one in my backpack.

Congrats!!

YouTube message that I achieved 10,000 views on my channel. I'm really grateful!

I can't believe I hit over 10k #YouTube channel views (actually 11,321 but who's counting? 😅)!

I intend to make a lot more content over this year. All #developer focused short form (5 minutes or less).

Give me a follow if you want to join the journey! 👇

New project dropping soon!

Tired of guessing which dev events to sponsor?

I'm building to help solve it!

📍Use natural language to find events
📍Filter by region, dev community, etc.
📍Check sentiment
📍Save or export

Beta testers get free Enterprise plan.

Interested? LMK and I'll add you!

Can you tell the theme for my upcoming talk at the GitHub user group meetup tonight in Tel Aviv? Does the font give it away? 🛸👽

First and maybe last Cinnabon in TLV

Some things I wish would stay in the States. We really don’t need another American fast food chain like Cinnabon in Tel Aviv.

Definitely one of my favorite series!

That was quick! Thank you friends. Maybe next time I should be more ambitious and a bit less modest in goal setting? 😅

Santosh, thank you my friend!

You rock! Thank you Jeremy!

I am just *4* subscribers away from that goal.

Can you help me get there?

What does that tell you about their content similarity search algorithm?

That’s so right

When you are solo building a SaaS on the weekends and evenings you become the:

✨developer
✨designer
✨BD
✨marketer
✨content writer
✨partnerships mgr
✨SDR

Busy with everything and hoping you get at least some of it right…

One of my favorite DevOpsDays 😊

Sent in completed draft of my new book on learning vector search for devs with Node.js to @pragprog.com last week. 🎉

A lot more steps to do until it's published, but really excited about completing this milestone step!

Your AI tool is not a person. It’s best to market it is as it is: a tool.

Fortune cookie text in Hebrew

Israeli fortune cookies read like a verse from Tanakh:

‘The end of an act begins with thought, and much thought follows…’

Fortune cookie or the Bible? You decide. 🤣

You know you watch too many developer videos on YouTube when the ads shown to you include @sentry.io content from @whitep4nth3r.com 😂

Building RAG apps is too much fun!

Do you agree with the response on which planet in the #StarWars universe would be most familiar to someone from Earth?

The AI context is being enhanced with a vector search of Star Wars data on @couchbase.bsky.social.

Are you buying a place on Alderaan today?

Benefit #1 of remote working: Being able to step out for a quick lunch with your spouse during the workday.

(Also, not fighting traffic; not being interrupted constantly; using the office chair that’s right for you, etc., etc. 😅)

The next time you’re in Greece and you think hey that language sounds really unique, guess what? You’re right! It’s the *only* member of the Hellenic branch of Indo-European languages. That’s it, just Greek. Nothing else like it. 🇬🇷

Past two days I've received a couple unsolicited SDR outbound emails offering me free AirPods for booking a 20-min consultation with them.

How many people follow up on that? Is that worth the ROI? 🤔

Web devs… come on down! A game show casting call I’m a huge fan of local developer Jason Lengstorf and his work on Learn With Jason. It’s like Developer TV. And now, they’re looking to get even more devs involved. With Leet Heat…

If you're a web dev interested to going to head-to-head with other web devs — game show style — get ready to be happy. @jason.energy has an open casting call you'll want to answer siliconflorist.com/2024/11/26/w...
