Big number 300 in the books! I'm loving this year so far.

Never, and I mean ever, add a company page to your LinkedIn profile unless you need to. I get solicitors daily for an app I'm still working on lol

😔

This is actually pretty sick. The syntax is a little odd, but it feels powerful. I imagine this is what it feels like flying a plane

My favorite part of any API project is getting everything tested with Postman

The extreme intellectual dishonesty around AGI/ASI on social media is insane. I'd like to be hopeful that technology continues to improve lives, but so much of the pushback on skepticism is willingly obtuse

Anyone else getting a ton of random Github followers lately? I'm definitely not complaining, but it's very random!

github.com/jwald3/waybill I’m trying to get this thing on the right track!

I really need to find some Go mentorship; I want to get great at this language

One of the smartest people I work with was plugging Svelte.

Sigh, here we go learning Svelte

Obligatory "green squares aren't everything," but it's a sign (mostly to myself) that I'm keeping productive and staying on top of things. I'm well over 20% of the way to what I did in 2024 (in not even a month) and almost 10% of the way to my best (2022). It's going to be a good year.

Clerk really boned me with these breaking changes. It's like everything in this app came loose after giving it a rest for a week or two

That “what’s your most millennial complaint” viral tweet really highlighted how insane that run between 2010-2019 was

Twitter has a humongous monetization problem that makes it unpleasant to use, but Bluesky really needs to learn how to have more thought-provoking conversations if it wants to shed the “boring” label

I love LLMs as a Google replacement. It’s one big answer to the “what are the unknown unknowns” question when you’re digging into a new topic. You can always Google afterwards once you know what you’re supposed to be asking about.

I just reserved my seat to go to VS Live for work! I'm pretty excited to be going to my very first conference.

Can't say Gen Z isn't driven atp

They are such a crackdown on being able to make another count for whatever reason. Which may be warranted, but boy is it a risk of getting locked out

Maybe meeting someone irl isn’t that bad lol

I don’t even know if I’d say that they’re a great idea. It’s nice to populate a feed from the jump, but it just leans into spammy behavior

What tech stack are you using? Whether language or tech/services

Starter packs are neat, but they don’t really foster communication between users. Not to mention there’s serious issues with the latent “aren’t you glad this isn’t Twitter” attitude

Looking sharp! I really want to make sure my next app has some sort of options for themes

Over 100 files changed in my big refactor at work. I’m sure there’s much bigger, but whew, there’s a lot of tech debt lol

“Please ensure to avoid over-engineering” is 100% going into my next prompt. I’ve zoned out and went through the motions during a chat and ended up with a monster

It’s weird how this has come out of the convergence towards samey apps. Why did this become a pattern?

Stack Overflow: How to go fork yourself

(I needed to fork my Go REST template)

Completely forgot, but last Friday was the two year anniversary of getting my first job in tech. It took tons of grinding, applying everywhere, and probably some wasted effort, but I’m glad I got this far!

Really wishing I finished refactoring my work project before everyone got back from the holidays. I have a bad feeling there’s no free lunch when it comes to everyone ignoring their inboxes for two weeks
