Here's my 2024 Year in Code

Head over to git-wrapped.com
I really like using @upstash.bsky.social services.

- Redis
- QStash
- Workflow

These are QOL improvements as a developer to quickly build what I need.

I have been seeing as though almost everyone on Twitter/X are building dashboard designs.

It would be really nice if @anthropic.com can lower the price of 3.7 Sonnet model so that Claude Code will be slightly cheaper.

In this very day and age, the number of exactly the same software wrappers are growing exponentially.

📅 Reminder: Node.js 18 is scheduled to reach End-of-Life on April 30, 2025.

We recommend that you update to Node.js 20 or 22 as Node.js 18 will no longer receive security updates once it reaches End-of-Life.

fun little detail on overreacted.io: the color of each post on the homepage is determined by the relative age of the post. so posts written around the same time have a similar hue

So… @cloudflare-dev.bsky.social announced and released so many things this week. Where do we start from?

It’s funny how this day and age, your purchase needs to be dictated by strangers on the internet.

What if Claude goes down, or hitting rate limit errors? Gemini 2.5 Pro is the alternative for coders.

There is too much “emotional” decisions to the extent people are completely moving codebase due to 1 incident.

It’s funny when moving codebase would likely result in more problems instead.

Seeing some chatter over at Twitter on Claude 3.7 Sonnet Max. It looks like a marketing stunt from Cursor and is not an official @anthropic.com snapshot.

Under the hood, the 3.7 Sonnet Max is likely just additional headers to use the extended thinking feature.

Finally Deep Research on the GeminiApp. It is so good because of Google already powerful search engine.

Gemini 2.0 Flash for coding seems to be hallucinating way too much.
