๐Ÿ™‹ does anyone know about any interesting full-stack/frontend roles, which ideally would benefit from significant nuxt expertise?

asking on behalf of a very talented developer ...

I haven't used it yet but doesn't Zed let you bring your own? (and its free without their AI)?

Pretty soon I am going to have to admit I'm getting old and bump up the font size on my phone. But today is not that day.

Tomorrow is probably that day.

If you did that you'd escape the temporal plane and exist in a past timeline.

People's CLAUDE.md files are so boring.

Room on the right there so you can jot down notes.

Trump post about coca cola.

Trump post about coca cola.

I mean I'm sure most of this is nonsense but...

I... agree... with... Donald... Trump. ๐Ÿคฎ

The real sugar Coke is just better.

What is stopping you from working like this?

There are but if you are in a rhythm (I'm flying using Claude to prototype the UI right now) it is *so* disruptive to have it taken away from you.

And in this case it was 10:30 at night and it was "program like a caveman" vs. "go to bed". so...

The Anthropic/Claude Code outage last night was really eye-opening.

I just didn't feel like it was worth my time to work on my project. If I can be fully productive (using an AI coding agent), why bother.

And that's like 2-3 weeks into using Claude code.

I'd pay more for *Actionable* analytics that I can use to make things better.

Or *Instructive* analytics that tell me what to do!

I dunno. It's tough.

09.07.2025 11:18 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

*Powerful* sounds 'stronger' but doesn't really mean anything to me. What am I going to do with a 'powerful' piece of data.

*Insightful* a bit better. It has given me an insight. Maybe I know what to do with that insight... but maybe not?

09.07.2025 11:17 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Also, you can probably lose the comma? Or else put one after insightful also...

08.07.2025 17:19 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I think it is 'powerful' despite its 'simplicity'. But I think being simple doesn't preclude it from being 'insightful' really.

"yet" => "and" ?

Just ignored my three kids long enough to read 'Project Hail Mary'.

It was great.

Why should I ignore them next?

Red Rising Trilogy?
Expanse Books?
Mistborn Trilogy?

There was always something "naughty" about looking at this display.

I'm going to launch another software-as-a-service business (though it isn't as appealing a prospect as it once was) and launch an open-source software package for Laravel (php framework). The SaaS will help me flush out the open source project... more work but but a bit complimentary.
