If Ben & Jerry’s discontinues AmeriCone Dream because Colbert is getting cancelled, I’m gonna be a little bummed.

Anybody else feel dumb when it takes AI a couple seconds before saying “Now I can see the issue clearly”, but to you the code looks fine.

Has anybody else noticed that Google sucks at indexing npm? I can search "<package name> npm" and it doesn't show up. This has to be a Google thing because Bing works.

My iPhone 14 Pro Max is around 4,098 times faster than a Cray 1 supercomputer.

I'm going to 3D print this simple router template. It took me about 2 hours to figure out to export a 2D polyline from AutoCAD as a DXF, import into Blender, configure units, convert to mesh, fill, extrude, export to STL, and export the gcode in PrusaSlicer. What a pain.

If a AI prompt gives me a great answer and I respond "thank you", does that "thank you" burn up my usage tokens?

Has the VSCode C/C++ Extension been blocked? · Issue #2976 · getcursor/cursor While coding just now I got this msg: The C/C++ extension may be used only with Microsoft Visual Studio, Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio Code, Azure DevOps, Team Foundation Server, and success...

This whole Microsoft blocking the C++ extension in Cursor is really bumming me out. github.com/getcursor/cu...

HarperDB | Web Performance Platform So much more than a database, HarperDB integrates database, caching, application, and messaging functions into a single hyper-efficient technology, making performance at scale a breeze.

Developers work best when they can build, not manage infrastructure. A fused stack eliminates database, caching, and messaging silos—cutting complexity, boosting speed, and making scaling effortless.⚡ Build faster. Deploy smarter. 🔗 buff.ly/40XBunA #DevEfficiency #BuildFaster #HarperDB

2. `transition-transform` no longer works to animate a `translate` transform.

Instead, you need to use `transition-translate`, which I guess makes sense?

1. Had an `opacity-1` which should have been `opacity-100`. Because `opacity-1` doesn't exist in v3, it basically set the opacity to 100%. v4 is smart and set opacity to 0.1.

The upgrade to Tailwind 4.0 was mostly smooth. I ran `pnpx @tailwindcss/upgrade@next` and let it do its thing.

Only 2 problems:

React 19 is finally out! github.com/facebook/rea...

In an interesting twist of fate, I'm now a Staff Software Engineer at HarperDB! Woohoo!

Day 32: No progress today. :(

Did some light research, but that hardly counts. I’ll get some rest and hit it again tomorrow.

Day 31: Another late update. I really wanted to wrap up the captive onboarding flow for new users before tomorrow.

dnd kit – a modern drag and drop toolkit for React A modular, lightweight, performant, accessible and extensible drag & drop toolkit for React.

Day 30: Reworking the onboarding flow using a wizard component.

Progress has slowed over this extended weekend. I'm stuck on the UI design for the file management. On the plus side, I found a cool drag-n-drop library: dndkit.com

Day 28: Today was Thanksgiving. I spent most of the day cleaning, eating, relaxing, and setting up the Christmas tree.

I did manage to fix redirects upon logging in and do some light research into React-based file browsers. Lots of interesting implementations, but I think I'll roll my own.

The Black Friday deals this year suck. I guess I’ll just wait until Xmas eve.

Day 27: Late update, but bounced around a bunch. Had this idea to add a menu item to test the webhook endpoint.

Day 26: I went back to add the UI for inviting users to orgs. Quite a bit of moving parts, but it's good. I started the accept invite page, but nowhere near done and I need to send the invite emails.

I cleaned up the API key and webhook secret handling. More secure now.

Hmm, this means something...
