There is the "new vlog" Sam Sulek-style popular. Great trend for creators: less editing and planning required.

Fine-tuning an image model (LoRA) with your face lets you generate personalized images of yourself. The real question: Do people care that a model of their face exists on some server? Or is that just a uniquely German privacy concern?

How are you’re experiences shipping PWA’s? Does the average user understand how to add them to device?

Vercel’s AI SDK is a solid move in the right direction. The TypeScript ecosystem could really use a well-built AI library. I’m excited to see where this goes.

Will build PWA instead of native app. Faster, easier, no app store.

For future projects, I will split the landing page from the app. This results in more flexibility when building the app.

I looked into Drizzle ORM over Prisma Postgres the last days. I really like that drizzle is pure TypeScript. No client regeneration and type magic necessary when playing with schema.

Igal is looking at type-safety regarding the query building not only the return type. Great read. Couple of minutes well spent!

Lately, I've enjoyed coding with the 'Cursor Tab' turned off. It prevents me from getting interrupted in thought process.

I dug into Go a little. Very simple and clean syntax. I used to program a lot in C++, which made picking up core concepts really easy. Feels great to have a performant language in my bag that I can use for web dev stuff, too.

I moved from Vue > React To React > Vue Bigger ecosystem. More library, less framework.
