Probably another two-three months, with Next.js releasing new versions almost exactly in the same timeframe. :D

But maybe that's only how I feel in recent years. I'm open to hear from y'all.

Do you feel like you are slowly forgetting on how CSS/HTML works or what's new and cool?

I think this is mainly because there has been a shift happening in frontend especially, where we focus on more on how a feature works (logic) than how it looks at first and with that being the main focus, we have less time to be able to write out own CSS.

Any other webdev/frontend dev experiencing, they slowly forget how CSS works? With all my recent projects using Tailwind for utility classes and easy responsive, I'm completely out of the loop with CSS.

Sometimes being honest to your AI Agent feels good. I'm really lazy with this one as it really is a very dumb task and I hate doing boring/dumb tasks that really don't challenge my thinking. :D

After 2 months of working on/off on my game, I still have not made it to a semi functioning prototype. I'm somehow more focused on the structure and concept and think about things beforehand. Maybe I'm just too focused on clean architecture/code than the game itself.

Am I doing it wrong? #gamedev

I need to get back my motivation to actually make stuff again and finally finish my side project. :D

It's been a tough couple of weeks recently.

My AI Journey How AI transformed my coding workflow and reignited my love for learning. From debugging struggles to becoming a better developer with AI as my sparring partner.

Listen, I get AI is getting overhyped af and some are annoyed by that, but I had to write about it anyways and give my takes on how I use AI.

I'm open for discussion on that topic, if it is constructive. :)

Read about my tooling here: visualcookie.me/blog/my-ai-j...

AI is getting better and better and my curiosity is also higher than ever. I use AI to learn new things, get a deeper understanding in certain work related things and much more.

I think I should write about it, at least from my standpoint, how I use it and what my tooling is.

I'm quite out of the loop currently and don't follow many developers. Anyone knows some solid recommendations? I'm into #godot #react #nextjs and everything JavaScript related basically.

GTFO and go to X or Meta. We don't like transphobes here.

Whoa my entire timeline is full of politics. I know the world is escalating right now but I'm trying to have a save haven for my mind here.

To anyone that I unfollowed: I care about politics but don't want to have such things in my timeline cuz I get angry and depressed very quickly.

I've been hard at working on both a new blog post and to finally release my blood pressure application which will be a self-hosted service. I hope I can make progress over the weekend.
