This app is the worst. Don't use it.
The reason: pg collation is subtly different on mac vs linux, where your actual stuff will be running.
Run db in docker or remotely instead.

"A meeting can completely kill my flow"
ANY context switching can kill the flow. Even between projects, or different types of work.
It's just that most corporate devs only do one type of technical work, so all their experience with flow interruptions is centered on meetings.

CSS tip: if you can't get a smoothly looping animation (eg. due to quirky way percentages work in different contexts), just increase the duration.
Your visitors will probably never notice it glitch out once every 10 minutes.

Is it even possible to rebase a hefty side-branch without having to do a bunch of fixes afterwards?
And if not, don't you just end up with a lot of broken project snapshots in git history?
There's gotta be a better way.

Open source programs have so many little friction points that don't get fixed, because each one is the cornerstone of some regular contributor's built up habits.
But computers are now getting old enough that we'll learn if OSS can improve like science - one funeral at a time.

AI codegen will never create a mascot for an internal CLI tool, then convert it to ASCII art and add it to the help screen... just because it's nicer that way.

This is from my current react project. Turns out I've accumulated quite a few. 😅
Generally, any rule that's used as a passive-aggressive replacement for communicating with other team-mates is a good candidate to get turned off.
(still trying to figure out how to make "consistent-return" work well)

I’m not an iOS dev, but apple must have screwed up their ui responsiveness support pretty badly if this is the kind of scaling you get out of the box on iPad for an iPhone app.
This is some early 2000s web era stuff.

This is such a bad UI.
Instead of warning you ahead of time your prompt is too long, it lets you submit it and THEN errors out.
And then, IT DOESN'T LET YOU EDIT THE PROMPT.
So you have to rewrite everything into a new tab. Ugh.
