Hey there, I’m David! I’m a Principal Software Engineer at
FireHydrant
(where I write APIs) out in Portland, Ore.
(where I drink IPAs). I write about tech (rarely), food (often), and whatever else is on my mind.
just made some eggnog snickerdoodles for a cookie swap tomorrow and it’s taking everything in my power not to eat one right now but i should probably test one to make sure they’re good right? right?
my manager mentioned me being on PTO next week for the holidays and i’d completely forgotten that i took the whole week lol. last day of work for the whole year 😌
not the best pic (our kitchen lighting is kinda fucked rn) but my local HMart had some good looking presliced A5 miyazaki short rib, so i blowtorched it and made gyudon with a cured egg yolk, real pickled wasabi, and grunions 😋
finally decided to get a new gaming PC after building my last one, like… six years ago? going from an RTX 1080 to an RTX 4090 is going to feel incredible
i just finished Loki and it was fun but, damn, i don’t know how anybody keeps up with all the MCU shit. absolutely the most confusingly tangled web of media ever
i love going to uwajimaya, but i wish they had a more central location in the portland metro, especially since it now takes me 30 minutes to get there at basically all hours of the day
i will literally never bother with orechiette ever again. doesn’t matter how quickly you start to stir or how much you stir… it’s gonna clump up. absolute garbage. F Tier pasta shape
docker’s desktop app continues to be one of the most frustrating pieces of software that exists. it’s absolutely wild that it can’t even reliably update itself
