Happy New Year! Looking back at 2023, I did a lot of programming projects but didn't keep up with this blog as I hoped. I thought now would be a good time to do a post looking at some of my favorite projects I did in 2023 that I haven't posted about yet.

In no particular order...

TUI Music Player in Golang

I just finished prototyping a project that uses the ChatGPT API, and I used its function call feature to streamline my code. However, I didn't find much online about how to use this feature with the NodeJS openai library, so I thought I'd do a write up on that here.

The function call feature allows you to describe a function to ChatGPT, and get a JSON string in return with arguments which you can then use to call that function. Note that ChatGPT will not actually call the function itself as part of this API - instead it returns JSON which you need to then parse, validate, and then use to call the function yourself later in your code.

This has happened to me so many times, I'm writing a blog post just to vent about it.

Today, BLOG FROG's CI failed after I pushed an update. However, it wasn't due to the new code I pushed. To explain what happened, I'll have to give a brief background.
