I am now a believer in starting from 0 when doing a redesign. Just forget the customization exists and start over. Implement best practices, governance and ownership and then work to add needed customizations back in afterwards if warranted.

Having my personal pc on Omarchy and work laptop on the same desk I keep trying to close windows on my work laptop using Super + W and sit there wondering why things aren't working.
Hiring is broken. It will always be broken because people gatekeep past experiences as what the standard should be.
It's also broken, because people are seeking agentic developers, but still want to do multiple tech screening rounds with pair-programming and implementing binary tree, like what's the point

Really drowing in figuring out how to rework a completely customized ancient fulfillment into a new redesign for our software catalog. So many freaking customizations that I don't have a clear picture of what needs to be maintained and what doesn't. I know as soon as I build…

Spending this rainy Sunday organizing outreach for feedback on a side project. Do a write up of the project, and figure out a time this week to do a demo stream. Excited to see if it resonates with the target audience or not. Have to get two sides opinion on it and figure out a…
November, the time of year where corporate teams start slowing down normally due to holidays and people taking vacation time to spend with family. Doubt that will be the theme this year with AI and all the lack of understating that seems to go with it.
Cigar shopping, hair appointments and then some side project building. Wraps up a good day overall. Gain an extra hour tomorrow so definitely hoping it comes in the form of extra sleep. Happy Halloween nullers.

Working session today to start digging into converting these workflows into reusable updated Flows. Should be an interesting call considering just one overall flow will have roughly 90 subflows which I have to research and see if that is even feasible with the platform.

Got through documenting the main workflow today and started on the subscription workflow documentation. Whoever built this 6 years ago did not follow best practices at all for some reason so everything is a disaster of hardcoded id values. So many to go. Like 90 independent…

Doing a software catalog redesign at work and digging into the fulfillment logic to see 140+ legacy workflows that I have to convert into a reusable Flow thats updated to use new technology and honestly my brain hurts more than it should. Hasn't been touched in like 6 years other…
I’d start by grouping those workflows by trigger, approvals, and side effects, then capture a few real input/output examples from each group. That gives you something concrete to compare when the reusable Flow takes over. Are most of the 140 different, or copies with small…
Love working directly in Prod on a Tuesday. Got a teams ping of "hey this thing is annoying can you make it go away we are investigating and incident and no one on this call knows what i am talking about" Quick little fix and boom no more annoying.
Alright, which harness is everyone preferring lately with working with AI? I am hearing multiple different "This is the best" but can't trust social media influencer people. I trust actual developers more.

Alrigh nullers , we have an Android app and an iOS version in TestFlight. Who is bold enough to build the Apple Watch app version and Android Wear version? Let’s really take over the app ecosystem. 🤣
Nobody prepares you for leaving a project of 5 years into the hands of people that have no idea what they are doing. I can fix a lot of the issues, but just got booted from the work group because they keep depending on me too much. But I am available via consult to assist if they…
