What makes Astro great for this, from your experience?

Sounds like a great investment into local community 😊

You get an idea about the extend of insecurity about what this AI thing is when people are so looking up to anyone who claims to have figured this out.

Sounds like something that could replace my clump of bookmarks, Notion pages etc. 😅
What makes ATProto a good choice for this?

Oh, what is collective about?

Glad to read you agree. It sounded as if learning a language was not important. Sorry if I misinterpreted that.

That looks quite comprehensive. I could only skim over it. But I like what I read. I put it on my reading list.

You need to master your instrument before you can play in an orchestra. Not boxing you in means to learn even more. Maybe become a master of none. Choosing one to get started is your best chance to go deep and master it. Without going deep, you won’t even be able tell what makes a language unique.

Ah yes, software engineer here, mine are screaming “features!” and “maintenance!” 😅

I mean it’s the best time to learn because later we have very limited time available, and many other things on our minds. We raise bilingual because we want to provide an immersive learning environment, and now the children are very focused on exploring and learning.

I agree: lessons in school without practice and immersion did little for me. Most of my English came from song lyrics. But my English only got good when I started to watch talks for work, read blogs and docs, and spoke it myself. And I wanted to watch my favorite TV shows right on release.

From this I learn that the principle applies: You need to be good at something to spot what is bad about something. The reverse being: You’ll accept anything if you have no clue about how it can be done better. Better keep learning because you don’t know what you don’t know until you learn it.

Oh, I missed that he has a (new?) podcast. Loved to listen to full stack radio back then.

I mean this is actually a table, but I thought about how we’d get these to stack on mobile.

Clearly “just use a table!” would have been the wrong answer. 😅 Thank you for sharing the layout example use case. 👍🏻

Never heard of it. What’s something you love about it?

He inspires me to take a step back, focus on the core issues. For example I dial back to use of AI for common tasks, but instead use it to build much more automation, like bash scripts. Or we already had stubs and scaffolding for CRUD. Works much better than letting AI do it all.
