Been trying out @windsurfai.bsky.social lately and the value really just clicked.

It seems to be best with multi-file editing, and has good prediction for next implementation steps.

Going to keep exploring, but I'm liking this aspect of it and recommend trying it out.

Last week @leaddev.bsky.social published an article I wrote on preventing burnout ✨

After many missteps and struggles I'm super thankful to share some valuable lessons and strategies I've learned while working in tech 🙏

There’s an unreasonable effectiveness in just saying “hey, buy my thing”.

This is the best fight I’ve ever seen at a Panthers game.

Gadjovich v Dillon at Amerant Bank Arena tonight.

Does this platform not support video?

I saw the best hockey fight of my life tonight and want to share it 😞

What are the top home products for people with large, long fur dogs that shed a lot?

The best vacuum I’ve ever had for this is the Dyson Ball Animal 2.

But I’m always wondering if there’s anything else I’m missing in automated vacuums, fur resistant fabrics, etc.

Going to InterMiami and Florida Panthers games is the funniest juxtaposition.

Fight breaks out in soccer and this is a dead serious matter 🫨

Fight breaks out in hockey and the stadium starts playing Metal 🤘

I want a commercial airline pilot that puts in 80+ hour work weeks. The one who hustles. The one who really shows they are passionate about flying.

Excited for Vercel Postgres and Blob and ready to use them. Vercel becomes more obvious to use _for me_.

Totally understand the caution around knowing what’s under the hood — I’ve worked on past projects where using AWS directly is the best choice. For my work now, the convenience is liberating.
