Successfully ran my first #n8n automation on an instance in a @docker.com container using @cloudflare.social tunnels.
I can tell this is going to be extremely helpful. Going to try some MCP automations tomorrow.

Being a developer is more than just simply knowing how to code. It's being able to ship a solution that solves a problem, and understanding the tech tools we have at our disposal to build/integrate to achieve said solution.

I think I just stumbled into a niche that could be really good for me on the music side of things, while also expressing my passions in tech.

My code editor will never ever come off dark mode though. Light mode in vscode is straight up diabolical.

Anyone else using light mode again on their phones? Kinda feels a bit nostalgic to see iMessage with a white background again.

I really need to put some hours in on my startup. It’s too good of an idea to collect dust on GitHub.

It feels so good to program in Vanilla JS again. I’m so sick of React.

Cursor is actually making me 10x my productivity. I don’t rely on it for anything complex. I just give it the mundane shit I don’t want to do.

Day 2 with #Cursor: definitely noticing big productivity gains. Noticed that it is not current with Tailwind v4 docs, so upgrading my Astro site was a bit of a pain in the ass. Happy I still know how to read documentation 😂

Another fantastic read for #WebDevelopers: “Don’t make me think!” By Steve Krug. Although some of the material is a bit dated, the main concept is extremely important.

Day 1 with #Cursor review: better than GitHub CoPilot, but pretty buns when doing anything remotely intermediate to complex. I think composer works great as an assistant to handle mundane tasks, but hallucinates often, even with context.

I think every #FrontEndDeveloper should spend some time with the book “Grid Systems in Graphic Design”. It’s an easy read and completely transformed the way I approach web/UI Design. 📕
