I know it’s an endless quest. But have you played with Craft? Also available via a SetApp subscription.

Ha - must have been a bit early. Just listened to @thepanel.bsky.social and heard @briancasel.com talking about their AI workflow. That’s exactly how I do it and for production ready code it works perfectly!
I’m able to juggle 3 projects (also feel Brian’s SaaS dilemma - slow growth but steady)

I’m into it although there will be the inevitable pushback. ipadOS is moving much closer to macOS. Lots of handy local ai model integrations. Spotlight on macOS is getting more like Alfred/Raycast. Overall though it’s good imho. 👍

It’s a different paradigm and feels like I take on more of a producer role. I can jump between projects/languages rapidly with ease. And it feels more like pair programming.
But I still think without oversight, right now it’s too risky.
It was only crap code completion just 1 year ago…

If vibe coding is coding without oversight then I agree.
But now a large part of my(?) code is generated. Getting my editor to create feature specs + task lists, then systematically working through with tests. I provide lots of context and check as it progresses.

Have fun in London! Sadly the weather has just turned a little greyer. I guess that’s the real UK experience.

Around 2005 you got to create integrated accounts everywhere with shiny Web 2.0 UIs running on Rails. For your site that was hosted on MediaTemple of course.
Beanstalk had a beautiful SVN interface and we moved to trunks and branches (if you weren’t in .Net world) 😙🤌

What did your Ed Tech business focus on @leeps.bsky.social ?

Thank you. Well it was taken over by a startup that I launched by using it. So kinda worked but I ran out of time to manage everything (also run a full time SaaS).

This was makeitlaunchit in February 2018. Still think this level of check-in is useful tbh.

After listening, I thought it’s worth sharing this great U.K. men’s mental fitness charity with groups all over the U.K. and growing fast. 💪

At some point you’ve gotta pop to Exmouth 👋

We’re in Exmouth, Devon.
An example of why it’s hard: just yesterday our insurance jumped from £2.5k/yr with £500 excess to £8k/yr with £10k excess. All due to flooding across the country.

Our whole ethos is to build local networks in a seaside town in economic decline. Working with schools, running social events, introducing investors, cross pollination. We’ve even been used by the LEP as an example of what can be achieved (yet they’ve never assisted).

Frustratingly we have built a great place, that has grown businesses that have nowhere to go. At the same time we have a sparsely populated science park that received £30m+ to create jobs. But it seems investments of £10-200k just don’t seem worth the effort.

I’ve succeeded twice in getting grants. Once from local council, in the form of 1 yr rate relief for our NFP coworking space (based on aggressive targets requirements). The other time was Covid. Yet I’ve seen people get £millions in grants based on network / uni for stuff we could do in weeks.

He definitely knows it. I’m surprised that I haven’t seen lots of pushback that it’s an increase in tax.
