It also helps to use a framework that provides much of this functionality out of the box. Tools like Rails, Phoenix, Laravel, etc., are perfect for iterating on ideas quickly, so you don't have to build them from scratch every time.

Instead, I should focus on building the core feature set that I care about first—the thing that I'm excited about—and get it working. If I want to expand on it, I can always invest the time and effort into those guardrails later.

The past couple years I’ve done a caffeine cleanse in February. I always think I don’t have a problem with caffeine, but by February 5th I’m dying. But let me tell you, that single cup of coffee on March 1st is magical.

The best part about all of this is that the proposed tariff plan was campaigned as a replacement for income tax, but instead we now have tariffs and income tax and most people are too dumb to realize they’ve been swindled yet again.

This was me until I realized you can change the default location that screenshots are saved to! I now have a “Screenshots” folder which makes it much easier to manage.

It’s an unhinged combination of Gatorade and cheap red wine. It seems odd at first but it grows on you. youtu.be/XjNO41BovAc?...

As someone who currently works in ad tech, I agree with this. Regardless of how you set them up or who you go with, the ads will cause so many issues on your site.

Working in that ecosystem during the .net framework, .net core, .net standard days was awful. Searching for answers to problems on stack overflow was impossible.

The .NET ecosystem is very compelling, especially since it’s fully cross-platform now and doesn’t require Windows. There are still plenty of instances of “weird Microsoft enterprise nonsense” but it’s a lot less than it used to be.

And now as I post this it’s starting to freeze up on me a lot more… sorry for jinxing it

It’s doing much better than the live “Love is Blind” reunion they tried a couple years ago. Hopefully that means they’re having a stress free night at Netflix right now

The problem I’ve typically seen with most companies is that they never progress to V3. They just want to keep extending V2, adding more and more as the project slowly dies from accretion.
