I have tried a bunch and would love a free OSS option but honestly Leanpub is the best I have found for ebook and printing. For web, I went Mkdocs material (cos I like Python) to Docusaurus (because i…

This is one of those things that _seems_ really simple but the details make it pretty complicated. Not sure about Signoz and PagerDuty, but there are plenty freemium services like UpTimeRobot that wor…

First time I have heard the term (and I have done quite a bit of llm benchmarking) but I love it! Similar to the xkcd "wtfs per minute" measure of code quality measure I guess. Everyone I kn…
