Crossfit Shop

I was in charge of the full page development on this newly launched Reebok Crossfit website http://www.store.crossfit.com.  I developed all of the homepage content as well as the header and footer.  I developed the image swap section on the homepage with custom Jquery code. This site was launched in early 2015.

Add a fun Mario Bros sound on git commit

Image
I wanted to make my own day a little more fun so I added a Mario Bro's vine sound on all of my repos when I make commits. I'm sure there are many ways to go about it but here is how I did it on a Mac.   *Note this way works only when you do not have a local post-commit file in your repo if you need both global and local it looks like the steps are a little trickier see this   stack overflow  for more details.  You could always use a different git hook as well.  1. Enable git templates: git config --global init.templatedir '~/.git-templates' 2. Create a directory to hold the global hooks: mkdir -p ~/.git-templates/hooks 4. Add the hook file .   (post-commit or whatever git hook file you want) touch  ~/.git-templates/hooks/post-commit *Important do not add the .sh file type or it will run 5.

  LLMs, ML, NLP, MCPs, RAG, Agents, and MCP Servers . . . the list goes on and on and how the heck is anyone supposed to keep up? Every day a new model, tool or term is introduced it's daunting trying to understand how much you need to learn about them.  Don't worry it's not nearly as scary as it sounds! Once you grasp the fundamental concepts, you will start to see the patterns and how most of the new terms fall into general categories. Then you can pick and choose what works best in your workflow. So take a deep breath, and lets put this in very basic terms to help you grasp the foundational picture. Keep in mind that each of these terms and topics can go very deep, but for most of us, you really only need a general understanding of what these things do in order to become more proficient in AI.  LLM - Large Language Model:   This is where the magic happens  - the brains of the operation. They can be generalized knowledge ( Chat GPT ) or very specifically ...

Finding your voice at work.

Image
A lot of people have trouble finding their voice at work. Individuals that have people pleasing tendencies struggle to speak up because they don't want to appear mean or have issues with anxiety.  Recently I had a fellow programmer ask me how to address a situation that required the courage to speak up at work.  It got me thinking about my own journey into finding my voice.  Sadly it took me getting to the point of feeling burned out and completely undervalued to finally have the courage to speak up.  It really was a turning point for me in my career. I realized that I could no longer care if I failed, or had the wrong solution.  I was going to speak up and have my voice heard. It started out a little rough but it has certainly gotten easier over time. I was very much out of my comfort zone when I started (if I'm being honest there are still times when it's hard).  I struggled to articulate myself and it came across as rash and unrefined. I started research...
