Updates

Always a good day when latest Drift magazine arrives. I guess you could describe it as a travel magazine about #coffee? Really beautiful photography and articles about coffee shops, culture, and history in a given city. This month one of my favourite cities I’ve visited, Berlin! ☕️ 😊

Good quote by @thomaseckert@mastodon.coffee on a recent @jsparty@changelog.social episode.

"A codebase is an artefact of multiple decisions".

I kind of love this idea. Every decision you make in code (no matter the size) becomes an artefact that someone in the future has dig out and understand.

Been playing around with #RemixRun for a toy project. So far I'm pretty impressed! It does a pretty good job of walking the line between not being too magical and being understandable. And setting things up to ship a no-javascript frontend is pretty straight forward.

Testing something

Hey there. "how awesome is this?" & this '

Just started using #ChatGPT and #GithubCopilot for a personal project and I'm pretty impressed. They've been super helpful with writing tests and figuring out complex #SQL queries and #Regex.

Also, I accidentally discovered that Copilot can help write commit messages. Using a commit message template with a prompt comment and running git commit --verbose, Copilot does a great job of reading the diff and figuring out the appropriate commit message.

Late introduction to the newest member of our family… Floris! The handsomest chap there ever was.

He’s a 5 y/o Maine Coon with a gentle soul and had been settling in nicely. ❤️
