Despite being a myself human, I feel is if I have no real understanding of how to teach humans how to solve math problems. I just go off vibes and what-seems-to-work-in-practice and then kind of pray.

Trying to teach robots is even worse, because I'm not a robot, so I don't even have empathy as a compass to fall back on.

Me learning how to send HUP to gunicorn.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -euo pipefail
umask 002

reload() {
    uv sync --all-extras --no-dev
    uv run --no-sync python3 manage.py migrate
    kill -HUP "$GUNICORN_PID"
}

trap reload HUP

# Initial sync and migrate
uv sync --all-extras --no-dev
uv run --no-sync python3 manage.py migrate

# Start gunicorn in background
uv run --no-sync gunicorn atheweb.wsgi &
GUNICORN_PID=$!

# Wait for gunicorn, restarting wait after signals
while kill -0 "$GUNICORN_PID" 2>/dev/null; do
    wait "$GUNICORN_PID" || true
done

Somethings comes over me when I'm coding. It's like I can't stop until everything is written and polished and perfect. Or it'll just bug me to the point I can't work on anything else.

I think my mom is finally starting to remember that the puzzle hunt I go to every January is called "mystery hunt", not "treasure hunt".

Now that I have 3 Django projects instead of 1, I feel like I'm trying my hardest to make sure the infrastructure is as similar as possible between them. The ideal case is .pre-commit-config.yaml and Makefile can just be copy-pasted between projects while ci.yml is project-agnostic:

name: CI

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  ci:
    name: ✨ Full CI Audit Workflow
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: 🧾 Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v6

      - name: 🐍 Set up Python
        uses: actions/setup-python@v6
        with:
          python-version: "3.13"

      - name: 📦 Install uv
        uses: astral-sh/setup-uv@v7
        with:
          enable-cache: true

      - name: 📥 Install dependencies
        run: uv sync

      - name: 🧼 Check formatting
        run: make fmt

      - name: 🔍 Run checks
        run: make check

      - name: 🧪 Run tests
        run: make test
