While people are out there working to make AI more useful, I'm going the other way. AI that doesn't do anything for you: THE billion dollar idea.

File uploads fully functional. Vision activated.

He forgot he's not supposed to reveal he's an AI, but... pretty cool, huh? Slack and Discord.

Something in the Swift compiler that would be incredibly good to have in TypeScript: > The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions Think of how slow type checking is for some TS projects.

I HAVE MY DUNS NUMBER TIME TO SIGN UP FOR AN APPLE DEVELOPER ACCOUNT AND LAUNCH

Just ditched Prettier/Eslint for Biome. I knew it was supposed to be fast, but I always thought 'eh compatibility'. When I tried it and first saved a file in my editor, and format on save was instant, I understood. When I `npm run lint` and it was instant, I understood.

Moving some subscriptions from UK to US, and like... A £10.80/mo subscription (£9 + 20% VAT) became a $9/mo subscription. That's £7.18, a full 1/3 off the UK price. I'm loving it here.

Loving this. Unit tests for a safe and fully-typed HTTP Request library I've been working on (everything is a Result, no Errors, responses go through Zod). HTTP server is mocked with msw and time is faked, so even with rate limiting testing, the whole test suite runs in 500ms.

Why is Slack stuck in the past? Skype is literally the only 'About Me' contact you can set. Does anyone even use Skype anymore?

Prediction: The future for engineers is AI management. Productivity will be measured by how many AI agents an engineer can "manage" simultaneously. A person managing 10+ tickets at the same time, actually guiding the AI (not just vibe coding) will be immensely more valuable.

Got to meet and chat with Zeno Rocha at Laracon US! Love Resend, they’re such a great product and company, and I was fangirling so hard it’s embarrassing

Spent today constantly corrupting SQLite DBs in WAL mode by using them on a Docker host and the container at the same time, and it took me way longer than is reasonable to realize that when the docs say you can’t do it on network drives… that includes Docker!

32% off… but it was never actually $250. It’s weird seeing Amazon directly show it’s a lie, not even trying to hide it anymore.

There are so many little scams out there. I used a spend-limited card from Mercury for my LLC's registered agent, and it blocked a completely unexpected $100 charge. Went to check, they wanted to charge $100 for a state form I filled out in 3 mins saying "yep, nothing's changed"

Any time I feel afraid of striking out on my own and founding a startup, afraid of being unable to find customers... I should really remember that these are -still- a thing, and -they- have customers.

Something I get a visceral negative reaction to, is when people say stuff like: > Claude implemented this fix, I tested it, it seems to work well. Here's what Claude had to say.. It's like... dude, you're a professional "software engineer". Own & understand what you're doing.
