Yesterday when i pulled my keyboard out of my backpack at work i realised i had ripped the c key off in transit. Only devs will ever fully appreciate the impact of that key. Thankfully its working approximately 70% of the time, but when it doesnt.... Silver lining pushed me to…

Looking at building a terminal tool to trigger lighthouse runs and seo crawls, store the results ad allow you to navigate around in a nice interface. Anything to avoid search console. Eventually want to be able to bridge code repo locally and results from prod to diagnose and fix…

So learnings alredy parallel works nicely but because you are competing with device resources its more of a smoke test than an accurate read. Expanding features and improving ui design as I go

Whoa very nearly missed a day in my streak! Been too busy learning how to make nice terminal apps in Go. Was an interesting rabbit hole. The first one is going to be something to cut down on noise at work while still keeping on top of things. Then I suspect I will rebuild the…

Haha, seems like a nice thing to add to the app @simonhamp ...I could contribute to the app tomorrow. Stream reminders seem handy. I'll also add it to my own iOS app.

One cool feature is while building my tui, i created a feature for teh develelopment process where it automatically creates snapshots of demo data in the terminal for images in the readme. The local dev cycle ensures the readme, tests, linting and screenshots are up to date…

Is anyone working with ai assisted programs that feature RAG and also have strict privacy so as not to share the data? Is this something you would use a local model for? Trying to figure out how to enhance functionality without piping data away

Dates, money and phone numbers. So many tears over not choosing the right schema at the start of projects... Seems like i keep dealing with legacies of these. ...sigh FWIW should be generally in UTC, as value objects with value and currency and for the love of devs e164
