That feeling you did something wrong.
Something out the norm.
Statistical outlier.
What did I do?
I wrote a post with my bare hands. No AI.
Like a medieval scribe.
I even left a typo in.
On purpoise.

Did you all remember to update the year on your website footers?
I should post here more often no?
Brilliant! I'll be in touch, cheers!
Hey @scottishtechnology.club the link in the footer for speaking/mentor form is broken 🫥
I shared a bit on how we do things (not only without breaking, but by breaking a lot of things) on the latest episodie of The Ecommerce Toolbox.

AI Protection (in case you want to protect your codebase from Vibe coding):
Change the default vim bindings
Set up rules that AI need to code using VIM
Set up a rule that AI needs to leave vim at each edited file
There you go, you trapped the machine. #win #suckitskynet
As a bonus this makes people looking at analytics super confused when you reached their websites...
I use Doomsday 6.66 (Commodore x64) as my user agent.
If you spoof your user agent to something random, your Google results will be ad-free.
If @notion.com get me a quick invite to Notion Mail I will immediately cancel my Superhuman subscription. That's an interesting stunt (me hyping without testing it first)
If a vendor announces a 50% price hike on April 1st. Can you claim it's a prank and carry on? Asking for a friend...
While everyone is trying to master the tools of AI, my recommendation: improve communication. Learn to write better, learn to cut the noise. It's not only about interpersonal skills, it's also helping to write better prompts, better comments, and better documentation if we're still doing that soon.
It's not impossible to train for, it's harder, it takes more time and it's less objective, which, can be annoying for the lot more of logical thinkers.
Communication is a soft skill. It's behaviour and it's about conveying ideas and information that are unstructured into a way that can be understood and actionable.
Learning a new tool, a new programming language or a new way of working, that's mostly hard skills, that's easy to train and nail.
The thing no one is talking about AI in Software Engineering is probably the one detail that we should be paying more attention: communication skills.
AI is not going to replace jobs, but engineers that can't communicate well, they are going to lag behind.

100% Uptime is just like 5 star uber eats reviews: either it will drop a little, or it will massively sink
Ain't paying to see.
One of my favourite tools for Multiplayer features is now on Product Hunt. Go give the folks at @liveblocks.io an upvote lblcks.io/upvote
My fave back-end stack at the moment is BED Stack: @bun.sh + @elysiajs.com + @drizzle.team #typescript
Scammers keep blocking me because I answer them with: "I'd love to hear more about your scam"...
Realisation: I don't like truffles.
please stop suggesting I solve my problem by changing my behavior. I do not want to do that
What sort of masochist would design a calendar picker with the week starting on Friday

A happy thanksgiving for all those celebrating today.
For those who are not, I'll send you the proper congratulations next month.
3 weeks ago I broke my arm. This is what I learned about B2B sales:
