@SyedMSawaid @Shpigford I think it flexes the real muscles you actually need to maintain- separation of concerns, clean code, standards, TESTS!! Etc and yes you may end up forgeting or learning what specific language, tool, function does what, but that’s ok, since that will change in 12 months anyway

@Shpigford Doesn’t it hurt your development skills and turns you into a bad developer overtime?

it's shocking to me how willingly blind and ignorant so many developers are to how powerful AI + coding is. they either refuse it outright or they assume copy/pasting code back and forth in ChatGPT is somehow as good as it gets.

@stftmsv @Shpigford Oh yeah 1000%

@gommo @Shpigford It all comes down to personal preference. What’s important, is that the approach you’re using is making you productive at your work. Not everyone will agree with my opinion and that’s okay. There’s why we’re lucky to have so many options.

@stftmsv @Shpigford I almost couldn’t disagree more. We are the generation of programmers that benefit the most since we now can visualise and structure how we want our programs and not have to build it ourselves. We all have our own junior developer teams :) I

I personally don’t like giving AI the driving seat when writing code. A well equipped IDE (think JetBrains) has all the AI tooling I’ll ever need to get context and intelligent code assist/analysis. These new fancy tools like cursor are powerful, but autopilot dev mode is not for me – and I assume many other senior devs. I’ve been coding for the past 12 years, and instead of explaining what I’d want the code to do or look like, and then feedback-loop until I’m happy with the result, I’d rather write the thing myself.

@Shpigford @hiimmox It’s so refreshing. I have ideas,I may have avoided due to the time to build, now actually able to be tested and executed

@hiimmox Definitely holy grail. Biggest single increase in productivity for me in 20+ years of coding.

@Steelersdepot needs a shower after that run 😝

@TylerMKing And remember, you’re not installing it. You can run the app from your download folder if you want but don’t you want to be organised?

@TylerMKing It’s beautiful and easy and doesn’t have stupid multiple screen dialogs telling you the same thing over and over

@michaelkoper Yell it to the mountains!!! Preach!!

A customer requested a small feature to be able to save filters that they used a lot in a table view. I recommended saving a particular search as a bookmark and their mind was blown away. Today many SPAs (not all) don't change the URL on search. They lose out on many native browser functionality. Another example of links not working with cmd+click opening in a new browser tab.

@joshmanders Definitely interested. Front end SPAs have been the worst invention 😜. Love to see react server components sitting natively in rails/inertia

Mannnnn I've been brainstorming the ultimate SaaS starter boilerplate to friggen end all SaaS starter boilerplates. And I'm gonna give it all away for free, because lol YOLO.

@arvidkahl @MicroConf Damn. Sad to miss this one

Love how @MicroConf hasn't even started yet and I have already had hour-long conversations with amazing founders over breakfast and just hanging out in the hotel lobby. Atlanta is a bit drab today with the rain and all, but the SaaS founder chats are vibrant and full of joy :D

@romaindewolff 1

Which logo do you prefer? I dont like them 🙈

@Shpigford For Warhammer hahah oldworldfanatics.com

Hit me with your top 2 podcast recommendations!

@mattwensing Same!! 44 youngest is 15! So good. Financially secure and actually enjoy travel with money hahah + free house and pet sitting

I know having kids when you’re young is seen as insane these days, But being 42 and having no kids under 13 years old is pretty freaking awesome.

@nathanjpowellUX Yes please!

I just finished writing the first draft of book 1 in the pocket-sized series. Say hello to, "Pocket-Sized UX for Developers: An Introduction to Wireframes." The word count came in a little over what I planned for. 😅 Who wants to read it?

@smithhmackenzie Love that one. I am hopeless though, I use a small yoga block to help

1. 90/90 My all time favorite hip mobility exercise- great for internal and external rotation of the hip Sit on the ground with both legs at 90° (This alone may already be a good stretch for you) Then begin to lean forward to deepen the stretch **Key here is actively pressing your front knee and ankle into the ground while simultaneously raising your back ankle off the ground Hold in that active stretch for a slow 5 seconds then release That is one rep Repeat 5-10 reps each side

4 exercises you should be doing for hip mobility: (Especially if you sit at a desk all day)

@ZStalevski @taylorotwell And you can do both right?

@taylorotwell My 5 lessons: Tap water is healthier, actually hydrates* you, is almost free and does not pollute the planet. * Coke does the opposite, believe it or not.

Took a week off of Coke Zero and was blown away. Here’s my five lessons learned 🧵

Sort of related but I always thought a sign in a therapist office should be “the only swear word we have in this cunty fucking office is can’t!”

@michaelkoper Pretty sure we have bigger problems if public key is broken

@gommo Yeah, I’ve heard! Just, if they get in, they have my passwords AND 2FA codes and my life will be over 😅 Just to be 99.99% safe I prefer to have them separate.

Sad that Twilio Authy Desktop is closing down. Does somebody know an alternative for 2FA? It should work on mobile and desktop. It should sync the two devices. Can't be 1Password.

@Shpigford @maybe Very true

if i was building @maybe from scratch today as closed-source, i'd 100% use rails + hotwire. but as much as i dislike it, there's absolutely no way things would have exploded like they have in the last few weeks had the codebase been anything but react.
