For a while, I’ve been using Python Azure Functions to power the Sharp Cooking Backend API. When I first created the API, the v2 programming model was still in preview and not fully ready. Now that it’s generally available, I finally upgraded. The v2 model reduces boilerplate code and adds features that weren’t previously possible—such as streaming responses, which is great for LLM models. Here’s a quick overview of the process and what changed....

I’ve been working on side projects with the Go language for a while, and it has quickly become my favorite tool for getting things done. About a year ago, I created a template repository on GitHub to help me (and hopefully you) bootstrap new projects. This template has evolved over time, and I’ve recently decided to make some major changes to it. Before diving into the changes, here’s some context. The Go community is quite active on Reddit....

New Features Here are some notable changes in GitHub Projects: 1. GitHub projects on mobile app: Depending on your project management style, this feature can be quite useful....

Let’s face it – writing documentation isn’t always enjoyable and can often feel like a daunting task. It comes in various formats, from a simple README to more comprehensive guides. Personally, I favor markdown and wiki-style documentation because it’s usually closely tied to the code and easy to manage. One common approach to documentation is maintaining a library of Microsoft Word documents. However, these documents are often disjointed, difficult to search, and may lack consistency in style....
