We shipped WishPin in exactly one month from scratch, and I'm damn proud of that

Idk how the hell people are out here bragging about shipping things in hours

Figured out how to automate building AND uploading to Test Flight for my Expo app 🚀

I just run `npm run build:tf` and it calls these two scripts

I know its common to hate mondays, but I genuinely look forward to them.

Its the day I have the most energy to dive back into work after a 2 day break!

Threw together a new short vid this morning based on some React Native shenanigans I've been up to

Helped me debug a crash issue with the app Im working on

I'm looking to build a service that RECEIVES emails and parses the contents. Any recommendations on services I can use to streamline this?

Would rather not setup a mail server myself lol

What're your favorite AI coding tools?
May 29, 2025 at 5:00 PM
AI is a great coding companion, but you still need to put in the reps if you want to keep your skills sharp.

Use it for the tool it is and dont let it become a crutch!

Deleted Reddit again. Too much negativity lately.

Accidentally just discovered that you can adjust the window of requests being displayed in the Chrome Dev Tools Network tab by scrolling on the timeline 🤯

Might be the most vibe-codery thing I've done so far...

Working on a video that outlines the new Clerk & Supabase integration and how the whole thing works. Looking for feedback 🤗

First few slides walk through how a typical multi-tier application works, both independently and with Clerk.

My morning routine:

8:00 am - Wake up
8:30 am - Grab a brush and put on a little makeup
9:00 am - Hide the scars to fade away the shake-up
9:30 am - Ask myself "Why'd you leave the keys upon the table?"
10:00 am - Go create another fable (I wanted to)

Proud to see that my @supabase.com articles have taken over the top of the @clerk.com blog! Here's what I cover in these:

1. Compare Supabase Auth vs Clerk
2. Explain how Clerk and Supabase work with @nextjs.org
3. How to build a B2B app with the two

More breakdown and links below 👇

Took a personal day to hike with the fam yesterday. Touched more rain than grass, but it was nice to get out into nature 🏔️

Trying my hand at mining crypto!

Am I doing it right?

“What productivity software do you use?”

March 25, 2025 at 4:43 PM
You shouldn't trust code written by AI.

That's not to say you shouldn't use AI to write code, but you should review everything it creates for accuracy and consistency.
March 24, 2025 at 2:47 PM
Vibe coding is a huge productivity boost, but it isn't going to replace devs. It is however going to raise the bar for devs.

AI is too confident in itself, and that confidence can mask the poor or insecure code to the untrained dev or muggle trying to build stuff.
