Currently b̶r̶e̶a̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ building MAX Digital products. Diving deep into GraphQL and Rust.

I've finally decided to #buildinpublic for a project I'm working on. I've been wanting to get more into home automation for the last few years but haven't for no good reason.

@droidbuilds Rust is goated!!

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

@lifeof_jer Also, why did it have access to production keys? Man I have so many questions on this post... and APIs to drop databases?? oh boy. This isn't the agents fault. Just the same as if a developer would have done this, it wouldn't be their fault either. There are so many wrongs here

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

@lifeof_jer Uh, you have paying customers whose business depends on you and your latest database backup is...3 months old? Yeah I'd probably swap that out to every 6 hours MINIMUM!

@joshmanders I used to say this about our home in West Virginia, in the Ohio Valley. Then this year we started getting tornadoes 😭

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

@VicVijayakumar WV is pretty nice man. Proud to call it home. When my kids were 6 and 1 we spent a year in SE Asia. I wish it was under 8 hours. It's more like 20

@VicVijayakumar Immigration is SO much easier with a baby. Those hardcore "gimme some cash under the table or you're not coming in our fn country" dudes melt like babies when they see you backpacking infants through the terminal. Also, my vote is Costa Rica

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

Well, this is a little insulting @enterprise. 🤣

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

@VicVijayakumar 13 and 8! A handful but so much fun.

My kids rising in opposition.

@jwage Found the Mac guy 😅

In fairness, Spotify is a great service. Their UI is just *chefs kiss*. This was a few years back when we were buying a house and keeping expenses too tight

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

@blaineaim Sweet! Open source?

[Kent C. Dodds 🏹 @kentcdodds]

Anyone know how to make this work with arbitrary property names? https://t.co/mKalMak3f0

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

@kenwheeler And then hope to god it's not the week of your siblings baby shower.

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

@kenwheeler Wait all damn year for that Scotts Cheap Flights email with the subject line "$200 RT Chicago -> Rome"

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

@blaineaim This reminds me of the video where the guys ISP is down and he can't open his blinds

One quick work around here is to base 64 encode the file and then send it off to Google Speech. That does work.

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

That's okay. I think I'll want to stream the audio into Google Speech to Text so it can process faster. I'm still going to keep dumping the raw audio file into S3 so I capture that data on every request. We can probably do these things simultaneously.

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

Still though, that's a shitty requirement. Now it's prompted me to look at https://t.co/JpbQiQfnKX and AWS Transcribe. Hmmm.

[Stephen Fairchild @stephen_the_dev]

and of course...Google doesn't allow you to use an S3 file as an input for speech recognition. WTF!
