Been using "bat" for a few weeks now - a great alternative to the classic "cat" command.

It's essentially cat with superpowers: syntax highlighting, Git integration, and it just looks beautiful in the terminal. It's already become my go-to tool for quickly viewing files.

Building a Docker image for our business website (deploying this week!) in Next.js. The image size? 1.4GB. The node_modules folder alone? 898MB.

Sometimes I wonder if we're shipping a website or the entire npm registry. Node is funny.

Looove the JS ecosystem so much

AI has ruined me. Whenever I see an em dash (—) in a post, I can't help but wonder - is the author really that typographically meticulous, or did they just use AI to write it?

QA teams needed? Should we write tests? YES - but context matters. High-cost bugs = mandatory QA.

Startup rule: setup testing infra NOW. Configure tools, DB seeding, CI/CD integration. You won't test everything, but critical paths need it. Don't delay - setup friction kills momentum.

Every developer who prefers JSX over Vue clearly has never written Vue code.

Oh no, I'm falling in love again. Why do I need bash when there's Go?

✅ Built-in formatting
✅ Built-in package manager
✅ Fast compilation
✅ Works everywhere
✅ Amazing performance
✅ Dead simple language
✅ And a few other benefits too...

Here's a quick observation: Sonet/Opus 4 is nice, but Gemini Pro 2.5 still "thinks" better about what it's doing and is more accurate.

I've been programming my whole life, learned countless languages.

Never has learning been easier than with AI. Just rewrote our Python task runner in Go - never touched Go before. AI answered every question, explained concepts through languages I knew.
