💡 the idea

I’ve become too used to ChatGPT.

Every time I open my GNOME Terminal, I am disappointed. I want to write a natural language instruction. I want the thing to write bash itself and execute the steps. Maybe even pull from the web. Sometimes, I just want to talk to ChatGPT, and not have to copy commands in. I just want to type out “Move the docker image location from /root to /home”, and instead of yapping and back-and-forth conversation, give me the command and ask me if I want to execute it.

new beginnings, old endings, and a happy new year

It’s been quite a long while since I updated my personal website. Last I did it was 2021, about 3.5 years ago.

TL;DR: A lot has happened. I joined Google, got a bit bored of the work, ChatGPT happened, I made a viral app called GitaGPT, left Google and started up for a while, consulted for startups to make some cash, joined Entrepreneur First as a Founder-in-Residence, went through the startup founding journey.

Migrating the website

Mon, 19 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000

Hey guys. It’s been quite a while, I last added my first GSoC post on this blog.

Life has moved on, and I have been busy too. Follow my socials for that (Insta: svineet_).

But yes, now I’ve moved the website to a DigitalOcean droplet, hosted on nginx and compiled
static using Jekyll. That’s it. Probably will make a new email address soon.

Hmm maybe something like me@svineet.com ? heheh

GSoC 2020 with GNOME: a beginning

Mon, 18 May 2020 00:00:00 +0000

I have been accepted into Google Summer of Code 2020 with GNOME Foundation!

I am grateful to my mentor albfan and the whole GNOME developer community to have helped me become capable enough to tackle this project. Can’t wait to get my hands dirty and become a strong member of the GNOME community!

the only python trick you'll ever need (pdb: the python debugger)

I’ve written a fair amount of python in my life, and for the most part it has been quite a pleasant experience.

But sometimes, the sheer ease of use of python becomes an issue. The best example for this would be Python’s duck typing. Since there is no type checking because of this, I often lose track of what exactly a variable held, and what the structure of the variable was.

ncdc · a terminal based direct connect client

Fri, 08 Nov 2019 00:00:00 +0000

Terminal dwellers often find a lack of good software for the college atmosphere. One of those gaps is the DC network, a local P2P torrenting network used in colleges.

Here is a cool terminal based DC client I found: ncdc

It is available in Fedora repositories as ncdc. It must be available on Ubuntu repositories as well, probably with the same name.

`1`	`sudo dnf install ncdc -y`
