Just shipped a small side project in under a week 🎉
Not because I’ve suddenly become a 10x engineer, but because I leaned on a backend platform (Gadget) that handled auth and data plumbing while I focused on UX.
Curious: what’s the one thing that makes you actually ship faster?

Some books change how you think. Others just feel like a deep breath at the right time. I’m starting to pay more attention to the second kind. Currently that’s Braiding Sweetgrass for me.

Latest experiment: built a “meeting reflection tracker.”
transcripts → summaries + action items
quick reflection prompts
dashboard view for patterns
Used React + Gadget backend + light AI integration. Spent <20% on infra, >80% on UX

Not every “good” book is memorable. But the ones that leave a mark usually do so because they arrived at the right time. What’s a book that found you when you needed it most? #bookclub

Sometimes the most productive thing I do in a week is delete tasks
A shorter list makes space for focus, and focus makes space for better work.

Used Cursor + gadget.dev to spin up a meeting summarizer app in a weekend.
Cursor helped me prototype prompt flows with LangChain + OpenAI fast. Gadget handled the backend, auth, and file uploads for free.
Dev UX = chef’s kiss.

Built a meeting note summarizer using
gadget.dev: started with a messy stack of raw meeting notes and ended with auto generated summaries.
Next up: improving action item detection.
Always surprised how much clarity comes from building in public.

used gadget.dev to build a meeting note summarizer for our team: turns 2000 words of raw notes into 300 word summaries in under 5 seconds
shaved 30 mins off our weekly sync recaps + made action items way clearer.
anyone else building tools to cut through the noise?

Been thinking about how much faster product ideas can move from notion doc → MVP with AI + low-code tools.
Built a simple Internal Feedback Dashboard this weekend, no full-stack team needed. Just curiosity and a few smart tools.
Citizen devs, we’re just getting started.

Been thinking about how often “I don’t know yet” is the most honest, strategic, and underrated answer. In work, in learning, in life.
Feels like a pause worth normalizing.

this is why I’m sticking with tools like Gadget, where u can define boundaries and logic clearly before letting anything touch real data...I don't trust it otherwise 💔
An AI deleting the codebase on which it is supposed to be working?
Isn't this from an episode of "Silicon Valley"?

Rebuilding an old spreadsheet tool as a proper app and quietly amazed at how much cleaner everything feels.
It’s still small and still messy but it’s mine, and it works!
gadget.dev + a few calm evenings = slow dev joy.

Saw a woman on the Overground sketching strangers in a tiny notebook.
No phone out. Just pencil, paper, and a very serene vibe.
Reminded me that noticing is its own kind of practice.
Might start doing that more, not the drawing, just the noticing. ✍🏽🪟

This week’s mini coding win:
✅ Replaced a clunky spreadsheet with a 3-screen internal tool (Gadget + ChatGPT)
✅ Admin time cut by ~40%
✅ Learned just enough backend to feel slightly dangerous
Small scope, real impact. #buildinpublic

Had a whole plan for today but ended up reorganizing my tea shelf instead.
Now all my tins are labeled and stacked<3
Did it solve anything? No.
Do I feel 12% more capable of handling life? Absolutely. ☕🌿
