Hey there.. first post here. Just signed up after listening to FM devtools podcast, episode with Dan... I am a software developer (front end focused, full stack), amateur flautist, lifelong learner, career changer.
While I work on side web projects I also keep on exploring Linux distros and tools. Nowadays as I explore #bluefin #linux and #distrobox (great tool!) I changed my shell and prompt to bash and starship temporarily (or permanently) as they seem simpler and more configurable.

@castrojo.bsky.social hi. I recently installed bluefin in a virtual box VM. In docs it says we cannot do this or maybe not recommended?. Does this mean I gonna hit a wall when I proceed to doing development podman containers? Still not explored this. Thanks.

I studied #bluefin #linux a little bit, set it up and discussed it with ChatGPT ☺️. So my early consideration is it is interesting and tempting. I will gradually move my dev env to it and work with this distro and this approach of containerized development. Now back to real work

exploring #Bluefin #linux with developer mode. Aside i will be exploring some other things as well like #brave #browser etc. in the docs it says #Bluefin is not compatible with VirtualBox but i just installed it on a VB vm. Will i crash on a wall soon or docs need to change?

messenger.abeto.co This is truly a beautiful combination of art and development. I would like to learn about the development journey behind, the tech stack (apparently WebGL, JS/TS etc.) and other stuff... Does anyone have some info, anything?

I know I am kind of late but loved the #vite documentary. I respect these talented and ambitious people, building and sharing, touching millions. The beauty and power of OSS, collaboration and hacking.. Thanks @cultrepo.bsky.social

ok I think I am having a likeness towards #expo. Could it be my new extension in career, in addition to #webdevelopment? I am also exploring #electron, so it seems that I am in all #javascript ecosystem, web-mobile-desktop. time will tell if I am gonna stuck with all three..

In late august made an aggressive plan for a 6-month period, dividing tasks (reading/writing tech articles/ developing some apps and leetcode) into each month. Result: less than half achieved from sep plan and some leetcode problems made me think I am not so wise (just being nice to myself) 😅

Nowadays exploring #expo and #reactnative, pretty excited about learning mobile dev but sadly my Linux vm does not support emulators. Nevertheless could see the output on physical device with expo go.

I had focusing problem recently, not at work, it is busy and I am working as hell but in my side studies. Nowadays, trying to go thru it and resume my old study habit, with a new plan. Just started reading some tech books and a side project. But many more are in mind as ideas…

Recently I could not work on side projects. But too busy at work, doing c++ (with Ai support) react and vue projects. Very busy and rewarding in terms of learning but I need to get back on my side projects anytime soon.

for a short while, i probably will focus only on learning C++, and slow down my web side projects or postpone them.

I am happy to be on the linux again, though it is a vm hosted on mac... I am not sure but macos hosting a linux vm might not be the best option. surprisingly, my mem consumption on MBP's activity monitor is much more than what htop shows, in linux vm. Maybe due to some setup error i made?

The joy and challenge of learning a new language... this is huge. And, consider that, you are a career changer, a web dev (front end focused) and learning C++. 😀😅

Life can surprise you. I recently installed Ubuntu VM on my Mac and now learning c++. I am a web dev :))

the way you learn about a new tech, library or framework changes a lot when you start reading the code / type definitions etc. and not be constrained to the text docs

Peer coding is many things. Hard, enjoyable, instructive (learn a lot), tiring.
