Yesterday I started building a new feature for #SidePrompter
In the next version, it’ll know when your meeting starts (so you don’t have to 👀)
- Windows: 🟩🟩🟩⬜️ – works (*)
- Mac: 🟩⬜️⬜️⬜️ – the struggle is real

(*) UX is ... "minimalist" 😂

Resiliency Through Chaos

Staff+ Engineers: Do you experience the "Productivity Paradox"?
You are no longer just code; you are a catalyst! Your invisible work is valuable, and it is time to discover how to make it visible and lead your team like a conductor.

You know the developer joke, "My code is compiling"?
My new version is, "My app is notarizing."
I have been on this "break" for 18+ hours. Apple said it would take 15 minutes. 😂

Wow, the GitHub app with Copilot really changed coding on my phone. I can finally save a new idea as a PR when I'm on the bus. It's not perfect for big work, but for saving small ideas, it's amazing. 👍

I almost gave up on my Tauri PoC for #SidePrompter this week. 😫
The reason? A 3-day battle trying to record system audio on macOS. Here’s the story of my descent into madness and the simple pattern that saved me. 👇

You know you’re deep in the flow when Gemini taps out first:
⚡ “Quota limit reached”
⚡ “Switching to Flash”
⚡ “Please submit a new query”
…and for the first time in my life, I’m writing Swift code 🧑‍💻🍏

The 5 stages of building a "simple" desktop app
1. This's easy
2. Wait, why does this look broken on Mac?
3. Oh, I need to write OS-specific code
4. [hours of fighting platform APIs later]
5. The PoC is now just proving this is hard

Spent the entire weekend researching and creating PoC. Then I posted one photo of my wife from a concert. I think my engagement stats have a favorite, and it's not my "masterpiece"😅

The algorithm is a strange and mysterious beast

I thought choosing the tech stack would be the hardest part of my new project. I was wrong.
This week I built the first Proof of Concept for #SidePrompter, and the results were... not what I expected. Here's the story. 🧵

The core of my #SidePrompter project is a "stealth mode" 🤫 to keep the AI assistant hidden during screen shares
This PoC with Tauri shows it working perfectly ✅

How do you choose your tech stack? Gut feeling or a formal, data-driven process?
For my project, Side Prompter, I decided to use AI as my architect. I fed my requirements to ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, and the result was unexpected.

Ever see a startup raise millions for an idea you already built? 😅
That's what happened to me. $15M funding round for a tool similar to my dusty PoC was the spark I needed
I'm officially reviving my project, 𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿, and I'm documenting the entire journey.

I run into a problem on Azure while searching for a solution, and you won’t believe it - I had the same issue 12 years ago!

It’s incredible to think I’ve been working with Azure for over a decade now. Time flies!

🤔 We treat AI code generators like they can think, but they are more like a powerful autocomplete. An AI doesn't understand *why* code works; it just knows that a **catch** block is statistically likely to appear after a **try** block.
