Small blog containing code and other posts by Lyndon Armitage

Welcome to Lyndon Armitage's Blog.
I mostly write about programming and technology related subjects, for more
information on me see my about page.
Any posts contained are my own opinions and musings and are not representative of my employer.
Back in January 2024 I wrote a post about efficiently writing to S3 in Python that has become relatively popular on this blog (thanks to GoatCounter for revealing this.) So I thought I’d take a broader look at the most efficient ways to read and write from S3 with special attention paid to AWS Lambdas and resource-constrained containers in general.
Contine reading...Recently I stumbled upon a post about the Chinese developed Large Language Model (LLM) DeepSeek on LinkedIn that I wanted to address. Specifically the post was scaremongering about security concerns with wide adoption and use of the DeepSeek model.
Contine reading...Previously I mentioned that I use NeoVim as my editor of choice and updated to using Packer as a plugin manager. At the end of January 2025 I decided to finally migrate away from the unmaintained Packer project to Lazy.nvim.
Contine reading...This page serves as the third and final part of a summary of my experience with
Advent of Code 2024.
As is normal with December, work and personal commitments got in the way of
completing Advent of Code 2024, so this post only covers days 13 to 16, and has
been written quite some time into 2025.
This page serves as the second part of a summary of my experience with Advent of Code 2024, covering days 7 to 12. For the first 6 days see my previous post.
