I think I'm terrified of shipping.

So now that I'm writing less code 'by hand', I'm finally trying to properly learn `vim`, since it feels like it'll be less costly in terms of time-commitment.

I got Claude to set me up with a nice neovim setup for webdev (tree view, LSPs), but I'm still weak at vim basics. Any suggestions?

We'll only have AGI when LLMs can properly close an ASCII text box.

Japanese word of the day: 接続（せつぞく, setsuzoku）- meaning: connection; attachment; union.

This one just sounds cool. Pretty sure I picked up while working through the DanDaDan Manga – but I can't remember now. What cool words have you discovered lately?

I just did that thing where you accidentally send a message to the wrong chat, except instead of a person, I sent a message to the wrong Claude Code session. 🤦‍♂️

My solution; vibe-code an orchestrator script on my MacBook that builds the macOS version locally, and then uses `ssh` to remotely run the build script on my Gaming PC downstairs (for Windows) and also ssh into WSL running on that same PC (for the Linux version).

I ran out of GitHub Actions minutes (free plan) while building my upcoming Rust/Tauri app. 🙈

Just watched Hamnet last night, can confirm the tears. Also, yeah, another rough watch for parents.

When just about anybody can clone your app with one-shotted AI slop, this feels essential to help you really stand out. ✨

Claude makes me faster, but it doesn't necessarily make me better at building things.

With my upcoming app Hangar, i've spent a lot of time trying to polish little things to improve the overall design, and UX. It's a bit buzzwordy, but I do feel like "craft" is going to become even more important.

Haven't heard of the first one, but "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" was a wild watch. Very high-stress. And yeah, the parenting stuff is big part of the stress dynamics.

We've been planning to watch Hamnet, which is going to make us cry, according to my cinephile friend 😅

Personally, I'm loving Claude Code right now. Just simple planning and prompting to build stuff at work and for side projects, it's been a ton of fun.

Totally feel this too, especially when every new influencer video is about why this-or-that new model is the BEST EVER.

It's a silly thing, but my favorite part is the customization. I love tweaking the fonts and theme till it's just right.

Coming soon: Hangar ✈️

It's a desktop app I've been building for the past few weeks. Fully cross platform with Tauri/Rust. Local-first.

Get ready to organize the chaos of your local dev/projects directory. ✨
Launching next week!

Welp... guess it's time to fully move to a different messaging platform.

My favorite software for learning Japanese is Anki. It's a free flashcard app that has tons of useful plugins, plenty of helpful guides to help you get setup, and it works on any device!

Claude Code has my back. (FWIW, I was about 99.99% sure it was spam already.)

The lesson: if you're going in circles, don't keep retrying the same vague error. Add some logging, get concrete data, THEN go back to the LLM. Real logs > vibes-based debugging.

#buildinpublic

Just burned way too many tokens trying to fix a bug. The error was cryptic, and no matter how I rephrased the problem, the LLM kept guessing wrong.

What finally worked: asked it to instrument some logging first. Ran the build, pasted the logs back in. Issue was obvious immediately. 🙈

This feels like an underrated superpower of AI; helping folks with disabilities overcome some of their limitations. So cool!

One of our favorite Buffer benefits is unlimited books! 🤩

Recently, Hamish, Sr Software Engineer @ Buffer, built an internal bot that turns book purchases into something visible and fun: a “what we’re reading” feed in Slack, with a cool visual!

I love this, @brittanyellich.com. I don't know what else to say other than I can FEEL this inflection point in my bones. And while I'm loving the power AI has given my work, I'm also feeling the same sense of overwhelm and anxiety that you wrote about.

Watched this great video yesterday on low-pressure 'output' practice.
What I learned; I'll never feel 100% "ready" to speak. Avoidance just makes me better at avoiding.

What's your way of benchmarking?

I prob have 30+ code projects that I haven't touched in ages. And now with AI, my rate of project creation is skyrocketing. (Just ask my wife! 😅)

Not everything needs be shipped, but there has to be a better way... 🍿

(Hint: it's another project of mine, stay tuned!)

coming soon to a @buffer near you

Apparently I didn't take it easy enough, because my lower back has been killing be since Sunday morning. UGH. (I'm pretty sure it was the bent over rows.)
