Anything on this blog, including this page, can be outdated and does not reflect where I'm currently at.

Fun Facts about Me

  • I was a distro hopper, and am a speed cuber, bad chess and backgammon player, average minesweeper enjoyer
  • I like to educate myself about things I don't know. I know a lot more about thins than the most. If you want to talk about something niche or not-so-well-known, I could be your guy.

My Likes

Not in this particular order:

  • Nature
  • Non-boring hikes (I built my own trail at 2 yo, with chairs!)
  • Tech
  • Deep and meaningful human connection, or one that makes me happy
  • Trying new things
  • Shiny new things
  • And old things
  • Oceans, beaches, mountains, & La Jolla

My Dislikes

To Readers

  • Blog posts (/blog/*) may not be assigned the day I actually wrote them, so new posts may appear in the 3rd or even the last page of the list;
  • For tech enthusiasts, check out my posts tagged with tech, the projects page, and my announcement posts for new ideas and stuff;
  • For thinkers, the thoughts tag is for you;
  • I also has a Word of the Day series where I talk about words I love, and post photos here, and write about very random things here;
  • And don't miss out my featured posts!

Skills

  • Programming Languages: Python, Go, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, SQL, Bash, R
  • DevOps, *nix systems, config management, all things container
  • Advanced prompt engineering techniques, and LLMOps libraries like LangChain

About this site

The date associated with the posts might not be the day I wrote it or updated it!

I often assign them random dates to keep things fun and maintain certain order of the posts.

If you want to know when exactly a post was written, check out data.teddysc.me.

This website is under active construction, here's a list of things I plan to do:

  • Change the current font, and colors, and give the site a better cooler name
  • Go through my messy and super long ideas list and convert some of them to blog posts

Some posts may be very casual or personal.

Images are not optimized for now, so expect longer loading times for image-heavy pages.

I'm also trying out the idea of learning in public, I think it help motivate me to keep learning.

Goals

One of my goals is to create quality content, and for this site to serve as a place for people to learn more about me.

And sometimes I just want to do things in public. Many people are learning in public, and I may do that too.

Copyrights

I own the textual content and media content (including photos, generative arts) of this site, unless otherwise stated.
