Personal Website

Weekly Coding • 2026-06-16

## hinst-website 🌐 I organized the code of my personal website. I identified these packages: ### Server - **base**: Everything that's needed in all other packages. - **db_objects**: For interacting with SQL databases. - **page_data**: For HTML templates. - **rest_objects**: For objects handled by the REST API. ### gophers - Functions for Go for every scenario. I placed this package in a separate Git repository (https://github.com/hinst/go-gophers) and generated a cover image, as shown on the screenshot. Last week, I had little free time for coding, so I only logged 2 hours and 30 minutes in my tracker. I've been thinking about whether to add ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) and REST frameworks to my project. I haven't found a clear answer yet. Here's an idea: 1. Run a load test to see how many requests per second my website can handle. 2. Implement a REST framework and repeat the test. Then compare: did it get faster or slower? The idea is intriguing, but finding time for it is a challenge. Currently, I only have time for small tasks, and refactoring the project under a new framework is a lengthy process. ## Experiments with Local LLMs I found two approaches to settings: - **100% Offload**: Ideal for long conversations. Generation is fast, but context switching is very slow. You can't jump between chats or change prompts on the fly. - **50% Offload**: Better for context switching. Generation is slower, but context switching is faster. You can easily jump between chats and modify prompts in real time. It's interesting; it seems like human thinking: you can switch between tasks, but work will be slow. Or you can focus on one task and work quickly without distractions (I struggle with that 🙃).
