Lol Elon. 4500/mo for an API? Get Real.

I think I just stumbled into a niche that could be really good for me on the music side of things, while also expressing my passions in tech.

Sad day today. I stopped using #ArcBrowser

Billy Strings tomorrow, new guitar on Thursday, and new amp on Monday ❤️❤️❤️

My code editor will never ever come off dark mode though. Light mode in vscode is straight up diabolical.

Anyone else using light mode again on their phones? Kinda feels a bit nostalgic to see iMessage with a white background again.

I just got an insane deal on a telecaster. I’m so stoked.

My favorite coffee mug ☕️

There’s no shortcut around putting in the time and doing the work.

I really need to put some hours in on my startup. It’s too good of an idea to collect dust on GitHub.

It feels so good to program in Vanilla JS again. I’m so sick of React.

Devs: Editor/IDE of choice. Go.

Cursor is actually making me 10x my productivity. I don’t rely on it for anything complex. I just give it the mundane shit I don’t want to do.

Life is short. Do what you love. Listen to Slayer 🤘

Day 2 with #Cursor: definitely noticing big productivity gains. Noticed that it is not current with Tailwind v4 docs, so upgrading my Astro site was a bit of a pain in the ass. Happy I still know how to read documentation 😂

Another fantastic read for #WebDevelopers: “Don’t make me think!” By Steve Krug. Although some of the material is a bit dated, the main concept is extremely important.

Day 1 with #Cursor review: better than GitHub CoPilot, but pretty buns when doing anything remotely intermediate to complex. I think composer works great as an assistant to handle mundane tasks, but hallucinates often, even with context.

I think every #FrontEndDeveloper should spend some time with the book “Grid Systems in Graphic Design”. It’s an easy read and completely transformed the way I approach web/UI Design. 📕

Me, using Neovim for the first time.

#Nextjs won me over again. Still not my favorite, but it has its perks.

What are some good resources for learning #blockchain development?

We have reached “Vibe Response” now too🤣

I still hate the term, but I’m seeing where #vibecoding can be helpful to quickly spin up a POC, especially as an indie hacker. However, expecting said app to scale on vibes alone is not the vibe. 😎

#neovim is now on my machine. I think I just leveled up. Can’t wait for it to make me feel like a total bozo as try to learn it 🤡

Me when I use the Transformers library from #HuggingFace

Interesting. Might have to give it a try then.

This playlist is a whole freaking vibe. I dont know what it is about lofi, jazz, or any combination of the two, but I get sht done when I'm listening to it!

How do you like Cursor? I've been using the Jetbrains suite with copilot lately and enjoy the workflow. Been kind of curious about Cursor or Windsurf but I don't want it injecting crap code i don't want.

I’m really enjoying working with LLM’s on HuggingFace

I’ve been seeing some hate on #tailwind in my feed. Yall actually LIKE writing CSS? 🫠
