A living repository of hands-on engineering notes, experiments, and deep dives — by a curious developer exploring the edges of modern tech.
This repo is my personal second brain — but written so anyone can learn from it.
If you are:
- 🐍 A Python / Django developer curious about DevOps and AI
- 🐳 Someone learning Docker beyond just
docker run - 🤖 A developer wanting to run AI locally without paying for cloud APIs
- 📚 Someone who learns best through hands-on guides with real examples
...then you're in the right place.
Practical Docker guides beyond the basics — from containers to local AI inference.
| Guide | Description | Level |
|---|---|---|
| 🤖 Running AI Locally with Docker | Replace GitHub Copilot with a free, private, GPU-accelerated local AI using Docker Models + Continue.dev | Intermediate |
Short, punchy learnings from daily development work.
| Date | Learning |
|---|---|
| 2026-03-28 | Docker Model Runner needs TCP enabled explicitly for host processes to connect |
django-notes/ → DRF patterns, ORM deep dives, deployment tips
ai-experiments/ → Building with local LLMs, MCP integrations
system-design/ → Architecture decisions and trade-offs
I don't just read docs. I break things, fix them, and write down what I learned.
Every guide in this repo was born from a real problem I faced — not a tutorial I followed. That means:
- ✅ Real errors you'll actually encounter
- ✅ Real fixes that actually work
- ✅ Real context on why, not just how
