After using Cursor for months, I've worked out how to write the laziest prompts which still produce good-quality outputs. My prompts are usually as simple as a few words. It almost feels like Cursor has learned enough through working with me that it is now confident in

We’ve all heard of UK immigration being high but did you know that the number of people leaving the UK is also very high. In particular the people a country would most want to keep - entrepreneurs, investors, innovators and the highly skilled. They are leaving in their

Who’s in Ko Pha Ngan? I’ll be out there for a week from 25th Jan. First time visiting so would love to meet!

Apple Health clearly knows I moved from a house to an apartment 😐. I got this notification today telling me I’m climbing way less stairs in the last 2 months. Looks like I’ll need to compensate for the passive exercise I’m missing out on, but not keen on doing pull-ups off the

I landed in Bangkok yesterday but unfortunately was greeted by very poor air quality. Govt are deploying free public transport for a week with likely extensions to reduce traffic + advising WFH. It's a real shame... BK is such an amazing place but basically inhabitable at this

I've been building a voice memo feature for a client's app this week. Thankfully Expo expo-av library has eased a lot of the pain of implementing this. It's been a fun challenge and pleased with the outcome!

I’ve been helping a client move their FE app from Webpack to RSPack. The speed of RSPack is impressive, but what’s more impressive is their decision to stay compatible with Webpack. In a world which is bloated with bundler options, success of a bundler is tied to how much

Hustle Coworking space in Koh Phangan 🤩 working from here all week was all good vibes.

Are you noticing the pattern here? The whole ecosystem is moving to Go or Rust!

I must say I was blown away by Oxc after running Oxlint for the first time yesterday. The claims they make are bold and sounded unrealistic, but they aren’t exaggerating about how fast it is. Where ESLint took 4 minutes to run for a codebase, Oxlint took 0.5ms. There has not
