Nowy odcinek: Cursor 2.0 + Windsurf
✅ Tokeny na sekundę – nowa „metryka prędkości”
✅ Sekrety modeli
✅ Czy warto się tym jarać?

1,5 roku temu z @kajetanduszynski.bsky.social uznaliśmy, że w IT brakuje miejsca z fajnym contentem.
Było DDD – Dawaj Dawaj Deploy, a teraz wykluł się pomysł na podcast🎙️
Mamy nadzieję że przypadnie Wam do gustu

Yesterday I started building a new feature for #SidePrompter
In the next version, it’ll know when your meeting starts (so you don’t have to 👀)
- Windows: 🟩🟩🟩⬜️ – works (*)
- Mac: 🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️ – the struggle is real

(*) UX is ... "minimalist" 😂

Resiliency Through Chaos When people first hear about chaos engineering, they tend to think about specific infrastructure tools and randomness. In this article, I want to take a different approach and demonstrate a structured...

In this week's Pathfinder Engineer newsletter, @tpeczek.bsky.social explores how structured chaos engineering can transform your entire organisation, not just your infrastructure.

No to jak już ładnie zintegrowałem Whispera to teraz czas na testy z Parakeet 😅

Ciekawe jak się będzie zachowywał.

SidePrompter - Professional AI Assistant for Every Meeting Transform your meetings with ethical AI that provides real-time insights and smart questions. Compatible with Zoom, Teams, and more.

SidePrompter is live! 🎉

✅Good news: I finished my first product.

🛑Bad news: I now have to convince actual humans to use it 😂

The hard part begins. 😅

Staff+ Engineers: Do you experience the "Productivity Paradox"?
You are no longer just code; you are a catalyst! Your invisible work is valuable, and it is time to discover how to make it visible and lead your team like a conductor.

You know the developer joke, "My code is compiling"?
My new version is, "My app is notarizing."
I have been on this "break" for 18+ hours. Apple said it would take 15 minutes. 😂

I prefer CoPilot, but to be honest my flow is rather complex. I use a lot of Gemini CLI. It is free but it is not the most important reason why I'm using it.

Wow, the GitHub app with Copilot really changed coding on my phone. I can finally save a new idea as a PR when I'm on the bus. It's not perfect for big work, but for saving small ideas, it's amazing. 👍

The wild part? The app is basically done.

Side Prompter v0.1 is so close, yet so far. Coming soon, assuming I ever escape this configuration vortex!

My brain has been rewired. It's now 90% build flags and 10% the faint scream of my laptop's fan.

I have learned that 'universal binary' is another way of saying 'universal pain'.

Current status: The 'This is Fine' meme, but the room is on fire with terminal logs.

I wanted to support both Intel & Apple Silicon. My Mac, in return, decided it would rather teach me a lesson about humility.

Me, 5 days ago: "I'll just whip up a quick universal macOS installer. How hard can it be?"

It was a painful detour, but a huge lesson learned. Sometimes the most elegant solution is to let another tool do the dirty work.

The breakthrough came from a random AI suggestion: AudioTee, a small CLI tool.
The solution: A "Sidecar" pattern! 🚗
Instead of complex native code, my app can just run this simple, focused CLI tool to handle the platform-specific audio magic.

4/6
The core problem was still there. The tech stack wasn't the issue; it was my entire approach to macOS audio.

So I jumped back to the safety of .NET. But my journey of mistakes wasn't over! I burned a few hours on the wrong UI framework (.NET #MAUI) before finally listening to community advice and switching to Avalonia. 🤦

2/6
My first mistake: starting on Windows. WASAPI made audio capture seem easy. I assumed macOS would be similar. I was wrong.
AI chats kept leading to BlackHole (bad UX) or just mic input. I was stuck in a loop of frustration, trying to get it working in Rust.

I almost gave up on my Tauri PoC for #SidePrompter this week. 😫
The reason? A 3-day battle trying to record system audio on macOS. Here’s the story of my descent into madness and the simple pattern that saved me. 👇
#BuildInPublic

You know you’re deep in the flow when Gemini taps out first:
⚡ “Quota limit reached”
⚡ “Switching to Flash”
⚡ “Please submit a new query”
…and for the first time in my life, I’m writing Swift code 🧑‍💻🍏

mature doesn't mean easy: the hidden work in "obvious" platform moves A few times in my career, leadership looked at a well-known technology and decided it should be possible to do it in months.

In @gutek.pl latest blog post, we talk about mature tech ≠ easy. Read: pathfinderengineer.substack.com/p/mature-doe...

The 5 stages of building a "simple" desktop app
1. This's easy
2. Wait, why does this look broken on Mac?
3. Oh, I need to write OS-specific code
4. [hours of fighting platform APIs later]
5. The PoC is now just proving this is hard
#DeveloperLife #SidePrompter #BuildInPublic #AI

Spent the entire weekend researching and creating PoC. Then I posted one photo of my wife from a concert. I think my engagement stats have a favorite, and it's not my "masterpiece"😅

The algorithm is a strange and mysterious beast

4/5
This single roadblock made me question the entire tech stack. I had to stop and make a hard decision about the future of the project.
Do I push through the problem or pivot to a new plan? 🤔
