Yesterday we brought Corn Dog home! He’s doing great so far, very sweet and affectionate. Slowly introducing him to the other cats, but they don’t seem to mind his presence. Hes a very curious, playful little guy!

queuebase.com is now a legal entity in Illinois. This is the first company I’ve created myself for my own product. I’m nervous but incredibly excited for this next step!

Is it just me or does Copilot seem to be getting worse? I had a subscription to it through GitHub organizations and wasn’t a fan. Switched to Supermaven for a bit and loved it. I decided to give Copilot another try and feel like I fight it 90% of the time

Working on a migration form Prisma to Drizzle on one of my SaaS apps. For this particular app, I feel Drizzle will be the better long term solution for my database needs (still love Prisma tho ❤️)
