    I’ve had the same experience getting into MTGA recently. If you don’t play the meta its very unlikely you’ll win the higher ranked you become. But this must be the case for all com…

    I have heaps of experience with Stencil and it works great until a certain size indeed. It is a great way to ship web components quickly. Coding agents will allow us to write plain…

    Right, so it's for accountability instead. Have you considered generating stories or tasks from the notes in that case? Still I think it's better to discuss "action points" in that…

    Nice read! The main benefit for me is the reduced search times for anything I need to look up online. Especially for code you can find relevant information ware more quickly. One i…

    This was an amazing read! The entire thought of being so versatile as the article mentions is similar to the book Homo Deus by Harari. In my opinion we always needed to be versatil…
