Shoutout to all the devs who post problems on GitHub, Discord, etc. and come back to share the solutions as well as those who jump in to help along the way. Today, I wrestled with Coolify, Traefik & Docker while setting up wildcard domains with SSL but random internet devs came through as usual 🙌.

When choosing between competing libraries for your application, always pick the one with a transliterated Japanese name.

I've been doing responsive text wrong.

With this snippet, I can just set min/max font sizes & the scaling range through custom properties, and let CSS do the rest.

Van lifers who are serious about their coffee - what’s your brew method of choice? Are you rolling with a V60, an Aeropress, or keeping it simple with a French press? Or is there a secret setup I don’t know about? Curious how you balance great coffee with tiny living!

"What an unjustifiably flattering eulogy." That’s what I thought while writing my own eulogy during Ali Abdaal’s Productivity Spark workshop. It was the spark I needed to clarify my vision. It’s blurry, incomplete but the gap between today and that imagined future is motivation enough to start.

Why do people think Japanese media is just anime and manga? Honestly, they’re not even the best part. Variety shows might have a bad reputation, but gems like 月曜日から夜更かし, 水曜日のダウンタウン, and イッテQ are endlessly creative and hilarious. And nothing beats my yearly favourite: 芸能人格付けチェックお正月スペシャル.

🐍 Forget the Year of the Snake. 2025 is shaping up to be the Year of Builders and Dreamers. I’ve been seeing so many people commit to side hustles and creating amazing things. Ali Abdaal’s Productivity Spark event this weekend has me even more fired up to stay focused and keep building.
