Never, and I mean ever, add a company page to your LinkedIn profile unless you need to. I get solicitors daily for an app I'm still working on lol

The extreme intellectual dishonesty around AGI/ASI on social media is insane. I'd like to be hopeful that technology continues to improve lives, but so much of the pushback on skepticism is willingly obtuse

Anyone else getting a ton of random Github followers lately? I'm definitely not complaining, but it's very random!

I really need to find some Go mentorship; I want to get great at this language

One of the smartest people I work with was plugging Svelte. Sigh, here we go learning Svelte

Obligatory "green squares aren't everything," but it's a sign (mostly to myself) that I'm keeping productive and staying on top of things. I'm well over 20% of the way to what I did in 2024 (in not even a month) and almost 10% of the way to my best (2022). It's going to be a good year.

Clerk really boned me with these breaking changes. It's like everything in this app came loose after giving it a rest for a week or two

That “what’s your most millennial complaint” viral tweet really highlighted how insane that run between 2010-2019 was

I just reserved my seat to go to VS Live for work! I'm pretty excited to be going to my very first conference.

Over 100 files changed in my big refactor at work. I’m sure there’s much bigger, but whew, there’s a lot of tech debt lol

Completely forgot, but last Friday was the two year anniversary of getting my first job in tech. It took tons of grinding, applying everywhere, and probably some wasted effort, but I’m glad I got this far!

Really wishing I finished refactoring my work project before everyone got back from the holidays. I have a bad feeling there’s no free lunch when it comes to everyone ignoring their inboxes for two weeks

For the next 6 months: • Pick a product idea. • Build a simple MVP to test it. • Use social media to gain attention. • Share the journey of your process. • Grow your personal brand. Your life will be changed forever.

I want to finally level up and begin using Go as my preferred API language. I’ve created a template on my GitHub that I’m going to constantly update as I learn more about the language. Check it out!

Finally unveiled my “soft rewrite” of a major project at work and the senior dev was totally game. Feels good

It's just a little toy project, but I'm pretty stoked that I got `linknom.ad for my link shortener domain. Feels like a good one!

So it turns out the script I wrote for Off The Bench was 20k tokens. I was burning $15+ a day on scheduled calls! Finally rewriting it and now I have it down to ~5000.

“Just rewrite it” fever coming on too strong with this project at work. Complexity for complexity’s sake (from previous developers) made this thing into a rats nest

Turns out that the guy I was hired to replace at my company was a total Jekyll and Hyde 10x developer. That would’ve been fun to witness

In this project, I’ve implemented: - Caching - Message queues - Cronjobs - Tailwindcss Either more completely or for the first time altogether. This is a level-up project if I’ve ever seen one #buildinpublic

Simple interface, but tons of fun to build

Might actually implement a message queue for this app. It’s a simple app (hop on, generate a projection, profit), but it’s quickly becoming the most sophisticated system I’ve built

Left the house after deploying my app. Predictably stopped working after 15 minutes

This is my first time trying Zustand and I'm already in love. This is phenomenal
