    So I’ve just set up my home server with Ubuntu server, installed docker with one line and I’m off to the races. What’s different/ exactly the value prop of this? You mention mainte…

    Deserved? If their product said, ensure that you have the 3,2,1 method then you could claim that. You pay for a backup, OP and everyone is rightly pretty mad about it.

    Interesting how you write the code first then put it into claude. What's the reason there? I guess that is where I find the most benefit is not writing out the syntax, even though …

    Lately I have had the cursed vision as I'm building a new IoT product. I have to learn _so_ much, so I have stopped using claude code. I find directly altering my code too hands of…

    I'm almost like you, I just download what I want to watch. But instead of going through network files - I have Plex Media Server on my M1 Macbook Air. Plex looks at the downloads f…

    The Will of the Many. I’m about to start Red Rising series as it’s similar to it.

    Same here! I’m on the final 200 pages. It’s going to painful waiting so long for the third in the series. I went straight from book 1 to 2 with no wait thankfully.

    The Will of the Many. An epic high fantasy adventure. I’m just about to finish the second book in the series - The Strength of the Few. I haven’t gasped this many times reading a b…

    My parents literally just gave my daughter the alphabet puzzle for Christmas that was linked in the article as a terrible clean up vs play-time. I might send them this link!

    These are fantastic! I've done similar and seen some positive outcomes at work. As the one usually sending meetings - I have been leaning heavily on asynchronous first (teams chat)…

    But don’t fall into the trap of that’s all you do. This can lead to procrastination of the thing you’re trying to do.

    Tailwind plus has saved me 100s of hours for my rails based development. JS was the only thing missing for me, so stoked for this.

    Pretty solid - I'll add this to my list that I refer to for writing. I often use the Australian Style Manual [0] and Divio Documentation System [1] as a foundation to technical wri…

    I disagree with this take. I work very closely with my UX lead and we always do lo-fi in Miro/Figjam before hi-fi designs in Figma. This gives us flexibility of expression to quick…

    Been a big fan of Postcard, especially seeing how it was another success story of a solo dev making something great using RoR. I’ve been looking through the code base for only 15 m…

    Of course, you can code whatever you want into the event that I hook into - that is my idea for the IoT device I mentioned.

    This was going to be my next idea if the bot didn't go well! For unread messages in Discord, you have to actively go into the discord app to check it. The fact that the bot only se…

    We really only use discord for voice chat. I also loathe discord for communities and anything else. Funny you mention the notifications - every now and then discord won't send the …

    I think it was the fact that actions spoke louder than words for us. It’s easy to say “I’ll jump on” but then you get distracted and then 30 mins later you go online. Similarly to …
