Without judging this guy's current state, he makes it clear in his first blog post that he was a dealer.
"So instead of coming back home broke and apologetic, I ended up pretty deep into this and soon was making tens of thousands of dollars a week, very much unapologetically."
Then, after his first sentence:
"I was left with the difficult choice of either living there and walking to a temp agency with hopes of making $10.50/hour doing manual labor (without an ID or social security card at this point), or getting on a bus to NYC to see some associates, and coming back in a week or so with $15-25k in my pocket and living in comfy luxury hotels until I could rent an apartment... I chose the latter: and obviously, was back in prison after a short 14 months of addiction and misery."
Yes unfortunately for a long time my whole life revolved around 'drug culture', and so did of all my 'friends' and my entire social circle.
I certainly cannot act like I did not deserve to come to prison, and it's definitely the only reason I am even alive right now. Coming to prison, specifically in Maine, was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Preston, great to see you made it this far!
We emailed, back when the post about your circumstances was shared here in Nov. 2023. I knew you'd see success.
Huge shoutout to Jessica and UL for all the work they do, and here's to a bright future ahead for you =)
Thanks Gavin! Really appreciate the support.

There is definitely a need for this, great idea!
Looks like there is a TLS cert issue on the public instance, but I'll be sure to check back in a couple days and check it out.

Why do you use LLDB on Linux?
I asked someone else what they use for rust. Normally I get by well enough with good structured tracing but lately that hasn't been cutting it.

Yeah the whole 'git repo = helm chart' just does not feel great at all. As we all know, the only thing worse is not using helm and having to deal with writing all those service, pv, pvc, ingress yaml files individually :)

Fantastic post, definitely could relate to quite a bit of that.

Very cool! I have been using LLDB quite a bit lately so I am eager to try this out. The state of debuggers dev experience really hasn't caught up to what things like Cargo have done for build systems, so I am glad to see people working on things like this.
