Episode notes
Versioning by Date
- Gerhard Lazu versions infrastructure by date, like the Fly.io app versions 2022-03-13 and 2023-12-17.
- This helps remember implementation dates but makes folders feel old, like the 2022.fly directory.
App Directory Structure
- The new Fly.io directory structures apps by timestamps to manage multiple apps.
- This avoids confusion when targeting specific app instances.
Gerhard's Big Goal
- Gerhard Lazu's goal is to create episodic content combining audio, video, and AI, driven by his two-decade experience and upcoming birthday.
- This project aims to be a long-term endeavor, tracked over decades, combining his hardware and software interests.
