Nobody wants to write Brainfuck code, not even Mistral AI.

I don't really vibe with this new definition of being a frontend dev, which basically feels like being a backend dev but in the browser, dealing with super complicated tech stacks in JavaScript.

Every developer I think.

I am trying to learn Elixir, but my brain feels like it's melting.

There are two types of coders: those who don't really care about the code font used by their IDE, and those who always feel that there might be a slightly better coding font out there that they can't wait to try.

I've just been told in 6 weeks I'll have no job 😔

I've luckily survived the lay-offs however the company I worked for (for 14 years) didn't. Having been loyal for so long I've no idea how to write my resume now days or where to start. Still in shock.

If you know any remote…

Most people waste their time organizing notes, setting up configurations and workflows, messing around with plugins, and switching to-do apps. They're just avoiding the real work that needs to be done. Back in the day, 10-12 years ago, nobody stressed about notes, APIs, or…

If you are short on time and unable to read the entire article, the main idea is that with the current state of technology, anyone can easily learn to code. However, instead of focusing solely on coding, it is more beneficial to specialize in a particular domain and use your…

Everyone's obsessed with new Twitter replacements, like BlueSky, Threads, and Mastodon. They all want to be the next big thing, but they just feel like copies of Twitter. People try them out, get excited, then get bored. Same story for me.

The thing is, Twitter had a special…

I'm not a fan of reading articles on websites that have those
monospaced fonts. They're good for displaying code snippets, but using them for longer posts? Not the best choice. I'm not even sure if that's what they're intended for.

Distraction-free reading

I got a call from a number I didn't know today. A lady asked if I wanted a new credit card. I listened to all the benefits she talked about and then politely said no. It felt good to stick to the usual routine.

I think people who don't use semicolons in JS have a commitment problem.

I finally tried using light mode on my devices after years of dark mode. It was a bit tough at first, but now things actually look cleaner and more polished.

It's like the apps and websites were made for light mode all along. The design elements, colours, and settings just seem…

After a year of using Grammarly Premium, I'm wondering if it's worth the cost. To assess its true value, I'm opting not to renew my subscription immediately. Switching to the basic plan will help me identify which features I truly rely on.
