Hilarious seeing this earn thousands of dollars 😂 slapmac.com

Living in a society with the ability to prioritize the group ahead of the individual is the best part about living in places like Japan and South Korea.

Pretty hefty price to keep my old Wordpress blog online considering I barely post anymore. Guess it's time to move it over to a more modern alternative like Cloudflare Pages.

Not sure if the issue was fixed for everyone, but 𝕏 finally let me re-subscribe to Premium via web. They still are using VND currency, but my account does show as based in the United States so🤷‍♂️

I prompted ChatGPT: “Generate a manga in this artistic style, but make the theme and topic about my life”

Converted my old WP blog to be a static site. It was more straightforward than I thought. I'm happy to be able to keep the old articles up for visitors to enjoy but no longer need to pay the monthly hosting fee. Had put off this migration for too long focused on other stuff.

On the other hand, I was on WP for more than 13 years. Migrating off of it feels like a formal send-off of the old school blog and internet forum era of the Internet I grew up on and loved so much.

Using AI Agents to iterate on an MVP in progress is totally different than on a decade old enterprise codebase with 500k+ lines of code. I think that's a big reason for the current divide between people who think coding is largely solved vs those who think vibe coders are morons

I was focused on 9-5 doing React only and the CS degree in 1 year challenge for a long time, I didn't notice Next.js rendered this Dev Tools thing. How long has this existed, and what's the point vs just using the regular browser dev tools?

Cafeteria lady at my office building (looks to be in her 50s) said she started a TikTok shop and once she makes enough money from it she's dipping. Are TikTok shops the new hot hustle like dropshipping and Teespring were back in the day?

My well meaning but bad habit is giving unsolicited advice. I assume that because I love receiving advice from people doing better than me in life, that others will too. But really, most people interpret unsolicited advice as you subtly signaling higher status than them.

Friend with career as a corporate English trainer for tech company in Vietnam announced he moved to the US and is looking for a teaching job. With how well compensated English teacher are in Vietnam vs how we pay teachers in the US plus local student behavior… rough adjustment

My base M1 Macbook Air is still holding up great except for the occasional hesitation when I use an AI agent in the background and try to do demanding work with too many tabs open. My iPhone 12 pro max has seen better days though. Excited for next release to upgrade that one.

One thing I'm focusing on in the coming years to increase my resilience in the AI era is deep domain expertise. Early in my career I hopped willy nilly between industries as long as I was still familiar with the tech stack. Trying to plan future career moves more strategically.

Saw dragon fruit at the supermarket in Dallas today on “sale” for $4.99. I remember during my TEFL era in Vietnam I used to buy these for like 28 cents each from the market in District 6, Ho Chi Minh City 👀👀
