In a week, Claude Code and I have built a PoC Rails App for a significant business use case. I intend to formally demo it for buy-in tomorrow after already doing a short "is this kind of what you're looking for?" walkthrough

This feels right. More than anything, it's the function of the Internet.

I believe YouTube is crushing it as a content provider. I assume they have the resources to measure _everything_. They know what they're doing. Your use case may be desirable, but they've determined it's not profitable.

Sublime Text has been my main since at least then as well. I can _see_ the lag in VSCode.

"Music" in this case has such a high quality bar. Truly, the delta production value of popular music today vs. even 20 years ago is huge. So our standards are higher, and if you're a solo musician trying to reach these high s

Some amount of discipline is certainly good, but too much can be bad for your health. It comes down to value. It's okay to not finish side projects — they were fun for a bit! Good for you for finding some low-cost fun! I make music in

The biggest takeaway for me is that toys are 4x cheaper to make than they were 20 years ago, adjusted for inflation. So it's just easier to buy more of them. As another poster mentions, this article fails to dig into the Buy Nothing co

My hypothesis is Apple is mostly right about their base model offerings. > I mean, I have a MacBook air with 16gb of ram and it's honestly working pretty well to this day. I don't do "much" on it though but not many p

Where does one advertise these days if not social media? Where does one learn about local goings-on outside of their _immediate_ circle of family/close friends/colleagues if not social media? With a small local business, social me

These are the companies you want to be at IMHO. Provided the compensation is adequate, slow and stable > fast and pivot-y.

Michael Sayman, the creator of SocialAI, said it best on a recent episode of The Vergecast. "We used to talk _through_ the Internet. Now we talk _to_ the Internet." The host was as taken by the sentiment as I was. It's so suc

Hand-written HTML+CSS+JS can scale, but cool-react-demo.dev is more impressive for all sorts of reasons. You also can't blame people for chasing the skills that get you hired. Lots of factors got us into this framework and transformer

I guess a better way to say what I meant is "common design language." Things that become components in some component library. They aren't written down, set in stone, spec'd in any way, but for example: * the idea of a h

The author has an enthusiasm for a new piece of CSS that I haven't seen in a solid decade. I appreciate it a lot. In my 20s I would have tinkered with the possibilities of this thing for hours/days. Trying to get stuff to work in

It me. I write CSS. I also write javascript, html, vue code, react… We just haven't needed a lot of pure CSS in the modern era. A lot is abstracted away in frameworks where you can simply set variables to customize the look and feel. A

I really like CSS. I find it easy enough to understand. It has grown in complexity over the last 10 years, but now you can do the stuff from 10 years ago a lot more simply. And all the code from 10 years ago still works.

How do we get around labor being the primary cost eater when that has (is) the most expensive factor, depending on where you live? I want labor to be paid, and I also want cheap clean energy. Help me square the circle.
