Does anybody _like_ GitHub email notifications?

Just posted what I'm working on in the HN what are you working on thread. It's a GitHub + Slack bot to let organizations customize and get notifications on Slack from GitHub.

I've tried using the official GitHub Slack integration, but found it limiting and unmaintained by GitHub.

I've been working on my side project on and off for a while, mostly off. But the biggest thing I did recently to keep my momentum strong is setting up continuous deployment. It helps me focus on what's next to get it end to end ready and seeing the constant improvements is super motivating.

I just switched to ghostty. It's noticeably faster than iTerm2. I didn't think I'd notice or appreciate the speed up but it matters.

I’m learning about enterprise sales today from the buyers side. We’re in a shut up and take my money state and even then it’ll take at least week to get the contracts signed and access granted on the providers side.

This might sound obvious but if you’re scaling up your server instances and you’re not consuming most of the cpu/memory/disk, something is wrong

In most cases, you should not use CPU limits in kubernetes.

I'm trying to imagine what a PaaS built for SaaS founders would look like. How are you all deploying you apps today?

I have regrets setting up a 7 am dentist appointment

I usually forget to blow my nose before going to the coffee shop and get the sniffles. I get self-conscious and go home.

Not today.

Time for focus work before work.

It’s cold(er) today, so it’s time for ramen. I firmly believe ramen fits cold weather and pho fits warmer weather.

After evaluating Clojurescript, this morning I decided to switch to Typescript and react with vite.
