Remove chaos makers from your environment.
You'll be stunned how much working in a peaceful environment changes your ability to come up with ideas and focus on seeing them through.
Don't be a firefighter for fire starters.

Writing, Again | Ryan Glover

Been quietly getting a bunch of stuff ready to ship for @cheatcodeco.bsky.social.
Where I'm at now:
- Mod CSS framework is mostly ready to go, just needs a bit more browser testing.
- Public beta of Push is rolled out + working
- Migrated DBs to be self-hosted
- Starting new CheatCode site today

The big headache of building dev tools is shockingly not building the tools themselves. It's having to navigate the ever-changing APIs of dependencies.
There seems to be a "change fetish" with a lot of OSS stuff.
If it works and there's no practical reason to change it, don't change it.

If you're not satisfied with the status quo, do something about it.
Even if you don't know everything you need to know to do something, just start poking around.
I knew a fraction of what I know now before I started building @cheatcodeco.bsky.social. Most was "on the job" learning.

Test-driving Cline in VSCode and it's really impressive.
Love being able to bring my own keys for any model and the approach to reasoning/file editing is really slick.
Also love the cost estimates for individual responses and a total for the entire chat.

You're a professional, aren't you?
You're an expert, aren't you?
Then why are you letting HR departments determine what tools you use?
Especially when you know, instinctively and experientially that they're low-quality tools.
You can (and should) be the one deciding how things are done. Not HR.

It's okay to think differently.
It's okay to not fit in.
It's okay to do things that others won't, can't, or refuse to.

Let's Encrypt doing planned maintenance in the middle of business hours in the U.S. doesn't make me trust their service at all. Yes, it's free, but when you're the de-facto standard being pushed, you can't do amateur stuff like this for critical infra.

This was the right move. Much better flow control over provisioning and renewals than certbot 💪
Think I may just wire up my own version of certbot for Push.

If you're installing Node.js on Ubuntu, avoid the deb.nodesource.com option like the plague (it will work 99% of the time and then randomly not 1% of the time).
Instead, use the snap package (github.com/nodejs/snap).
The nodesource one is hit or miss and not reliable for production.

If you're building a library/tool that will be consumable by other developers and it needs config, for the love of all that's holy, just use JSON.
No custom config formats. No YAML. No other "but I have to do it this way" buffoonery.
Just JSON.

Since the Claude 3.7 update, I've noticed I've naturally gravitated away from Claude over to ChatGPT. I've made the jump for code + general tasks/searches.
Not sure what that means, but interesting to see it happen so fluidly/subconsciously.
