Hello again!

We are doing introductions?

I'm Dutch living in Madrid, Spain. I have been working on my own startup Nusii (online proposal software) for 10 the last 10 years.

I recently started to do some temporary freelancing on the side just for fun.

I like playing the drums 🥁

Im a leftish let’s not talk about politics at work 😅

But I think the usual American let’s not talk about politics at work actually talks about lot about politics in general 🤣

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 1d

Wow, that looks good! Good luck!

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 2d

😂

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 2d

You're way better at this! You made me improve it a bit, much nicer now 👌

Thanks, before your post, I knew a bit what git worktrees were but never really thought about it being usefull, (except having AI working on 2 things at the same time, which I never do).

I think you solved my git commit 'wip' and git stash/git pop issues 🤣

Because I always forget the actual branch name 😅

I'm so afraid to take my Ruby passport instead of my normal passport next time I travel 😂

You have to make your 15-year-old self proud!

Reliving old hobbies with my 7 years old!

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 5d

Why tho? I can do this by paying 7000 tokens in only 3 prompts!

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 5d

Never thought of it like that, I think you are right about this one.

This makes it even weirder that we are constantly being seen as weird by other parents because we aren't giving our kids phones.

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 6d

I might become this stereotypical old man screaming, but I’m so happy to have lived my teenage hood without smartphones.

It hurts to see that kids from 4 till 16 sitting together and the only thing they do is looking at those stupid phones.

If you are a UX designer that uses Neovim, you deserve it!

Listed!

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 8d

lol! Yes that was also me. Sublime was just too good and snappy compared to VSCode. I just got a bit jealous of all the integrations and modern tooling (like LSPs, better AI tooling, etc)

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 8d

You and me both! The ones that do use it, use it in a very different way. They love to follow up on proposals that aren't viewed yet, or are getting expired etc. And they love to integrate Nusii deeper with our API etc.

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 8d

Something amazing happened at Microconf. I had dinner with a group of people including 2 of my fav customers. They were selling the heck out of my proposal tool to somebody running a large business. All in front of my face!

And this morning they signed up on the highest plan and they love it!

Michael Koper @michaelkoper.com · 8d

Yes! What are you using now? I think they adapt the config to Sublime or VSCode. It was pretty easy to start 👌
