This is indeed awesome! Thanks for letting us know.

But I think for future projects I might use HTMX + Tailwind.
However, sometimes custom resources are needed, which are not directly supported by CDK. And in some cases, extra logic is required whenever a resource gets created. So was my case with AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store (SSM) SecureString parameters. These parameters ensure that sensitive data like passwords, API keys, and other credentials are encrypted using AWS KMS. While CDK supports SSM parameters, it does not allow for the creation of SSM SecureString parameters.
This is where AWS Lambda-baked custom resources come in. They allow developers to define the lifecycle management of resources and implement required logic when resources are created, changed, or deleted. In my latest blog post I've leveraged CDK, TypeScript, and Golang to create a custom resource for SSM SecureString parameters. This custom resource used an internally created lambda to take care of everything.
As for a large code base I found ripgrep + rg.el (the interface in Emacs) to be pure gold!
In my case it's just that I heavily rely on Emacs for almost everything. That's why I also moved away from Tiddlywiki.

That's why I've spent the last years learning Go. It taught me how to design bigger projects and how to tackle architectural problems in an easy/comprehensive way. I didn't try Rust yet because I didn't have to. I mainly code software/tools to work in cloud environments and HTTP/gRPC technologies. Under these circumstances Golang performs quite well.
For me it's true that Go "is better for getting things done": You'll get one statically linked binary that can be executed almost everywhere (without further dependencies). I'm a big fan of serverless and I wrote simple applications that currently run in AWS Lambda and Netlify (they also used Lambda under the hood). And more recently I got into web development where Golang is again my main choice (at least for the backend part). For frontend I would rather go for VueJS/React. And that's one reason why I've started to learn TypeScript.
I don't have that much experience in TS but I guess I could easily replace Golang by TS to do simple things (HTTP requests, JSON parsing etc.), especially in a Serverless environment.
While my Golang journey was accompanied by this "Golang vs Rust" debate, I do plan to learn Rust as well. But as I've mentioned before, currently I don't have any needs to do so. My advice would be: Learn both (for backend) and some TypeScript (for frontend).
Just my 2 cents...
Based on the amount of RSS related posts here on HN, I think RSS/Atom is becoming again more popular.
I also do some sketchnoting (using pen & pencil) when I design a system for the first time. I wish I could easily convert those sketches to PlantUML.

Thanks for your kind words. It took me years to find the almost perfect workflow - at least for me (I still have some ideas how to automate several things even more).
I'm a heavy Emacs user but I thought sharing some diagrams might visualize more the described process. Also for non-techies.
Some months ago I've also realized I had items in my list from 2017. But I didn't read them. You don't have to read everything. Just focus on what currently has your attention: a specific event, a topic, just sth that's interestingly for you now. This way you'll manage to read more.
Again: I think the goal is not to achieve inbox zero. The goal should be to just read/learn more.
It wasn't my intention to have such a big thread. I couldn't anticipate that "2021" in the title would trigger so many people to share their personal thoughts about apps and note taking techniques.
While the article's main focus was about note taking itself, I didn't want to compare existing solutions or even have some ranking. I also didn't have the time to try everything out (like Roam, Obsidian etc.). It's just that I have a strong preference for Tiddlywiki since I've been using it for years (not only for a Zettelkasten and note taking but also as a great UI for visualizing links between objects).
Nevertheless I'll definitely have a look at your recommendations.
Now some words about my reading habbits:
- Most of time I read non-fiction books. I read newspapers, interesting articles I've found on the Web and some books.
- I use an E-Reader to read my stuff (for many years I've used a Kindle 3rd Generation which got replaced by a Pocket InkBook 3 [1])
- Everything that I find interesting gets highlighted on the E-Reader. If I'm reading a real (paper) book I'll use my notebook and make some notes in a bullet journal style. [2])
- To organize my highlights I use TiddlyWiki [3] and some really nice plugin [4] to organize books.
Regarding Tiddlywiki: I think this is one of the most underrated tool out there since it can be used for everything. You can filter and tag your content (book highlights, ideas etc.) in a way that fits your needs.
Cheers,
Cyneox
