Xcode opening all my JSON files is equally obnoxious. At least it is relatively easy to sort that out in macOS.

Their autocomplete experience is decent, but I've gotten the most value out of Cursor's "chat + codebase context" (no idea what it's called). The feature where you feed it the entire codebase as part of the context,

I am on day 8 of Cursor's 14-day trial. If things continue to go well, I will be switching from Webstorm to Cursor for my Typescript projects. The AI integrations are a huge productivity boost. There is a substantial difference in the

sips looks really cool, thanks for pointing this out. Not gonna lie, I missed this because I thought it was related to macOS SIP, System Integrity Protection. Which is something I am deeply uninterested in.

I am currently at day 7 of testing out Cursor, which is sort of like VSCode but with heavy LLM integration. While it has it flaws, I have found it pretty good at a lot of boilerplate-type tasks that will take me too long to write. Think thi

Local machines, but only because of years of muscle memory. Not because dev environments are worse or anything. I have used github.dev before, and they seemed decent. (Tip if you didn't know, pressing '.' when in any github r

"Unary" and "binary" were used exactly how they are used when talking about programming languages.

Postgres has very counterintuitive behaviour around case-sensitivity. CREATE TABLE CamelCase(...) SELECT * FROM "CamelCase"; will fail with "CamelCase" not being a table. That's because the CREATE TABLE sta

I used Amazon RDS in my past job, which supports automatic failover and read replication. It was fine. Fairly low-maintenance on my part, which is always good.

I wish someone explained regexes to me as concisely as Matt Parker did in that video, it would have saved me so much trouble.

It doesn't look like mssql (aka sql server) supports USING.

`using` works really well, but only when the two column names are the same. That's why it's not a bad idea to include the table name in the id column name: `flight.flight_id` instead of `flight.id`.

I wrote this, gosh, nine years ago: https://weiyen.net/articles/set-up-ubuntu-server Haven't really looked at it much to be honest. Serverless tech has spoilt me.

It's been a very long time since I've seen a query that uses the `table1, table2` cross-join syntax. I'd be curious to know how many SQL people nowadays know what that does.

One of the compelling reasons to use Javascript-based frameworks like nextjs or remix.run is that you can reuse the same logic + types on the frontend and backend. With Typescript, this is now my preferred way to build full-stack sites.

Yeah. For comparison, there are 27 million weekly downloads for React. I'm not sure what conclusions we can draw from either number.

It has been a while since a software update was something to look forward to, not something to dread. I'm sure there must still be problems that can be solved with "more" software or "better" software, but those pro
