Starting a live build right now, and I have no idea what it’s going to be yet 🤔
Expect something simple, fun, and maybe a little unexpected - I’ll be posting updates in the comments.
Drop your thoughts below, and repost to share the buzz 🚀
Stay tuned.

current project is still in stealth, but it seems the public GitHub history is what got me here somehow. almost feels too lucky.

go with fromstr, it gives you .parse() for free and that’s what people expect. add tryfrom<&str> later if you want .try_into() to work too.

also ForrestKnight dropped this summary of CLI tools that every linux dev should know.
starts the video saying "about 40 commands", ends it with "actually like 30, cut some in the moment".
that's the kind of unfiltered content i respect.

got an email last year that changed my life.
"we scraped github looking for [X]. your profile came up."
500k lines of code later, i finally understand what 'locked in' means.
2026 is going to be different.

masters nationals this weekend.
PB in almost every event. wanted sub-27 for 50 free, got exactly 27.00 (lane 8). swimming gods have a sense of humour.
months of training done while building in silence. time to ship the ecosystem.

failed another coding interview last week.
im so bored of hour-long leetcode marathons that reward speed over sense.
so ill keep building this orchestrator for my entire SaaS ecosystem. traceability all green so far.
at least something actually passed.

been hoarding good prompts.
trimming the fluff, keeping what actually works. less is more.
turns out most of my best outputs came from like 5 core patterns. cheatsheet format cuts hours to minutes.
might share some gems.

tofus like “morning routine” build the vibe, mofu/bofu are where the decisions happen. like “best grinder under $100” or “aeropress vs chemex”
a decent mix should keep the journey smooth ;)

dev maturity is unlocked when you realise:
1. everything is just JSON
2. github copilot is a goat
3. django is insanely powerful
4. refactor = distractor, fix the bottlenecks
5. keyframes are easy, youre just impatient
4 is a life lesson. 5 hit different.

feel you on this. cursor just doesnt fit how i work.
i prefer short lightweight chats with specific context drops. dragging subsystems in one by one, improving consecutively.
while its super convenient just accepting the magic i just enjoy poking at the system until it make sense.

I've been playing with cursor a bit and find it frustrating, even though I only gave it very simple tasks.
It hallucinates icons, doesn't correct them when I tell it to use the real ones & messes up functionality when I just ask it to change UI colors.
How to work smoothly with it?
