Another project I've been developing is now live! 🚀 Link in replies.

It's a web application to help developers stay informed about the technologies they use. You select the tech stack you work with, and get a feed of updates filtered by both technology and update type.

Apparently, using an em dash (—), en dash (–), or hyphen (-) in a text is now used to classify it as AI-written.

They help structure a sentence without breaking the flow by adding rhythm, clarity, and precision when used intentionally. Sometimes a comma feels too weak, and a period too final.

I published my first extension on the @vscode.dev marketplace: markdown-commands.

It adds slash commands, keyboard shortcuts, and command palette entries for quickly inserting commonly used Markdown elements.

There seems to be a clear difference between the skills people in tech talk about and the ones companies actually hire for.

Some skills dominate conference talks, blog posts, and social media, but rarely show up in job ads.

Reminder: visibility and demand aren’t always aligned.
I’ve been analyzing thousands of job advertisements to identify the most in-demand skills across different IT departments. 🧵

The results of the top 10 most requested skills per department based on real job market data.

Over the weekend, I gave ChatGPT and Claude the database structure behind techbook.digital and asked to generate a simple spin-off project idea.

The result was techwordoftheday.vercel.app, displaying one technical term with its definition each day.

I shared techbook.digital on Hacker News to gain early user traction, collect feedback, and learn what features or improvements others would find valuable.

The post ranked 4th on Show HN, was featured on the front page, and reached over 10,000 people in under 24 hours.

If you are worried about your project's SEO, Google keeps proving it doesn't matter as long as you can pay for ads. User experience suffers when ads take priority over relevance.
