Side Projects

Here is side project work. Commits before 2021 are hand written. Commits after 2021 are usually coded interactively with LLMs.

Python Build and Package Tools

pycodetags Data-in-comments tool, for TODO tracking, based on PEP350
bitrab Run a .gitlab-ci.yml pipeline file locally without docker, as if were a Makefile or Justfile.
troml-dev-status Get a trove development status based on objective criteria.
cli_tool_audit Check for existence and version of tools not managed by your main package manager.
metametameta Generate metadata in source in an __about__.py, with version number, etc 🔢
pydoc_fork Pydoc style HTML report tool suitable for CI
dashc Compile python to a python -c invocation. Useful in certain yaml-based CI systems.
caniuseonlywheels Wheel availability checker 🎡
bug_trail Local error log/logging website for python. Somewhat inspired by .NET's Elmah. Intended to help with logging LLM/Agentic apps.

Novelties/Incomplete

Significant LLM code in cli_tool_audit, git_mirror, metametameta.

CLI Apps

AI Projects build around LLMs

examexam Generate and take practice exams, such as the AWS certification exams.
ai_shell Autonomous sofware development with CLI tools optimized for use as LLM tool/function calls
llm_build ... not yet published. Generate unit tests with LLMs.
ai_fish_tank Proof of concept of a terminal fish tank with AI agents for each fish.

Libraries

random_names Phrase to number and number to phrase. 🔢-🔤
whats_that_code Democratic source code identifier
untruncate_json Turn truncated json into valid json. Translation of someone elses javascript to python. Fast.

Python Coding Novelties

hissbytenotation Use python dict source code as a data format.
markmodule Import python in a markdown file as if it was a python file.
markpickle Serialize python types to analogous types in Markdown. Not quite a DOM, not quite a usable serialization format either.
disemoji Disassemble to emoji symbols. Maps bytecode to emojis.

Other People's Code I try to maintain

openmock Fork of elasticmock updated to work with Opensearch
terminaltables3 Fork of terminaltables, updated to have wheels, type hinting, tested against current python versions.

Languages

Python (current main language) 🐍
C# #️⃣
Javascript/Typescript 🌐
Terraform, CDK, Bash, Gitlab Pipelines
Dabble in Go, advanced Bash, Ruby, Rust, PHP, COBOL, Lua, C, C++
Ssh! Don't tell anyone I know TSQL, VBA, VB6, VB.NET. SQL is good. TSQL as a programming language is bad DX.
