The new appreciation you have for a song when it covers what you just experienced literally, if not almost, word for word. Music is beautiful that way!

Amen, this is something I knew previously but had to relearn to internalise better this year ๐Ÿ’ฏ
That ties well with we all have our own timelines too - it's mostly more constructive to compare with our past selves than with others!

What options do we have to prevent people from seeing your posts beyond doing it in private messages?

3, 4 and 5! They all resonate with me in different ways

Not that the others are not great lessons either. You're becoming wiser every time I read them!

It's a shame, but honestly this platform feels so much more refreshing and closer to the old days of Twitter. The current "X" feels like a toxic cesspit to me

I guess that Cursor in this case would be a super capable junior dev - just realised I left off the analogy in the original!

Can't count the number of times where I have to keep pressing Escape to discard Copilot's bad suggestions as opposed to Cursor's, where each tends to get better with more usage against the codebase. GitHub/MS got some serious work to do...

I wanted to give GitHub Copilot a chance again, but damn it's like having a bad junior dev compared to Cursor. The difference with its auto complete capabilities is night and day

Exciting to be part of it, let's gooo! ๐Ÿš€

A good take especially our work/world generally is already obsessed with optimising the hell out of things (usually for more money ๐Ÿ™„). It's nice to be able to do things for the joy of doing it!

Nice to meet you, thanks for the follow! Norway is such a beautiful country - would love to try to catch the Northern lights there at some point!

Used to follow on the bird app, and I've always enjoyed learning from you on how to structure design systems (that have likely influenced my work for good!)

I'm loving how easy it has been to discover tech folks I used to follow that made this short form blogging-like medium a joy to use! Let's see if I'll get hooked back in again...

It seems like this is where all the cool kids hang out these days! Here for the old school tech Twitter vibes ๐Ÿ‘‹
