The main worker is a .Net API with Hangfire that hits a public facing API from the radio station. That data is stored in a MySQL database that feeds a React dashboard front end. Th…

Yeah, me too. KEXP has a public facing API that could be easily used to create a new KEXPlorer.

A dashboard to see what my local commercial free radio station (89.3 The Current) in Minnesota is playing. It shows how often tracks are played, track and artist play history as we…

I did this about ten years ago when I was feeling burned out. I started a t-shirt company in the off hours which eventually grew to be large enough for my wife and I to live off. R…

The meetups in Minneapolis are still going strong. There was the COVID pause when most went to Zoom but the majority are back to in person now. A good amount tend to revolve around…

It's still crucial for senior level people to review and scrutinize code generated by Jr and AI developers. There's always been the need to verify the code matches the business req…

Just got our Tin Can a few weeks ago. The hardware is "eh", but the service is pretty great. The ability to approve incoming/outgoing numbers before being able to call/receive call…

We've got a tin can phone and the biggest positive for us is the phone can't make calls or receive calls from numbers that we don't approve first. I know other parents who have the…

Been working remotely for a long time now and was beginning to feel that loneliness. So, I started going to a co-working space to be around people again. Two/three days a week I'm …

I was in the same boat around the 10 year mark as well. I started a t-shirt business on the side. It took a while but after a few years made enough to live off of. Eventually I cam…

A React Native mobile coffee shop map of all coffee shops in New York City. It's integrated with Google Places so I can return summaries of each coffee shops via Googles AI summary…

My guess is that it might a couple things: 1. There's a map feature where users can assign their location to a photo that was taken. I suppose this could qualify as 'physical addre…

This is a good way to look at it. I recently starting thinking something similar now that chatgpt.com and Perplexity are showing up as referral sources to my blog. So there is some…

What about hiring junior developers to do the work I don't want to spend time training AI to do? Humans retain context, over time learn the ins and outs of the business and will si…

There used to be a Visual Studio for Mac (since retired) but they never could get it right in comparison to the Windows version. VS Code on a Mac works great and with the ability t…

Ooh, good call. Thank you.

I created a website and mobile app to display all the coffee shops in the state of Minnesota. It's a .Net Core MVC website and React Native mobile app that is pretty much entirely …

This will come in very handy for me. Thanks for working on this and putting out there.

Is there really ever enough? Try to stay up to date on anything you don't know, but suspect you probably should know to provide value in whatever it is you're doing. You could trea…

44! Got into programming in my early teens. Landing my first dev job at 19. Still love it.

Actual tech, nothing. Company politics and "being a culture fit", unfortunately in some companies it means a lot.
