Ever get that blank stare during standup when someone asks what you worked on yesterday? 👀 I built a smart Obsidian template to solve this. Just released it on GitHub! I wrote a detailed blog post about why and how I built it: piliar.me/blog/smart-d...

Working with React Native on Windows? Those path length limitations in monorepos can be tricky 🤔 Just published a guide on how to fix it with symlinks (saved me hours of debugging!) piliar.me/blog/taming-... PS: Using this in a new project - more soon 👀

HeistGeist, the cyberpunk RPG set in a futuristic version of our hometown, launched on Steam three months ago today. It still feels surreal that our small team managed to pull this off the way we did. Thanks to everyone who played the game! If you haven't yet: s.team/a/1982940 #indiegame #indiedev

It's been almost a day since Reanimated 4 beta dropped. Where are all the super early adopters with their fancy animations??? 👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8et...

Decided it's time to cleanse my podcast feed of political hot takes. Need some solid tech/dev/design podcasts in my life instead. Any recommendations? Already listening to @syntax.fm, but that’s about it.

2 years of owning a Kindle and I JUST discovered they have an app that syncs your books and progress 🤦‍♂️ So you're telling me I can just whip out my phone anywhere and continue with my book? Jeez, going to smash my Goodreads challenge this year.

Shoutout to everyone posting footer year memes - you made me realize I hardcoded 2024 in my blog 💀 Finally fixed it properly... better late than never, right? 😅

Just finished my yearly retrospective (3rd time in a row!) - from work to fitness to mental health. ~10k characters of hopes, learnings, and plans. Already excited to see how this doc ages when I check it next January 👀 Do you also do yearly reviews? Any ideas for improvement?

The more I see these cool things, the more I'm convinced I need to drop everything and finally play with RN Skia 😅

So, this app has been my pet project for a few months now (super part-time). Already got a domain, so things are getting serious™️ (hopefully this one won't end up in the domain cemetery) Excited to share that it's starting to look presentable! Might start documenting the journey with #buildinpublic

Anyone know what this type of animated header is called? (Does it even have a proper name? 🤔) Built it with React Native Reanimated but would love to see how others tackle this!

Ever wondered why some React Native projects look completely different from others? 🤔 Found these two in the wild: - Feature-based (auth, feed, profile) - Type-based (components, screens, services) Best part? No wrong answers here - one for big projects, one for quick MVPs. Any other ideas? 🧵

When your code starts looking like a gingerbread cookie that's seen better days 😅 10/10 would still eat the cookie though… the code needs a complete rewrite…

🧵 Building my second startup - solo this time after parting ways with my previous co-founders after 4 years. Reality check: programming + day job + business stuff alone is getting overwhelming. How did you find your "perfect" business co-founder match? What's your "must-have" vs "nice-to-have"?

Looks like I have a new project manager - enforcing mandatory breaks by blocking my keyboard during programming 🐕 (Someone tell her that 'sit' doesn't mean 'sit on my workspace while I'm trying to code') #programming #dog

Just watched Social Network again and honestly? It's STILL ridiculously good! Also probably the best filmed villain origin story we got IRL 💀

Alright, the vibe of this is 👌 After all of these remakes, remasters and sequel stuff - this is a nice surprise. Has Naughty Dog ever made a sci-fi game? I don’t remember anything like that. youtu.be/o7TVPoxwi74
