“Care doesn’t grow from fixing another person. It grows from the courage to stand with them without becoming their solution.”

Happy new year!!

I’m not wishing everyone a “wonderful” day, because for many it isn’t. For some, it’s the first Christmas after a divorce. After a loss. After leaving their country and family. For others, it may be the last one with someone they love.

Does anyone have good references or websites they use with regional pricing? To show the regional pricing options

ME REALISING I’M ABOUT TO SMELL LIKE LYNX AFRICA in 6 days time.

Code freeze: “Ship everything now”. “No wait that’s broken”. “Add this”. “Now we’re missing something we didn’t think of”. “Okay this feature doesn’t make sense”. “Just one last thing before freeze”. “Build failed”. “Fix it.”. “Build failed again”. “Oh someone else touched this area.”

We ban athletes from betting because it could influence the game. Makes sense. So why do we allow politicians to trade stocks that could influence their decisions? Hard to defend that double standard.

Im hoping to open source some bits in the coming weeks. Stuff used internally that might be of some use. Currently resting though due to sickness.

On call tonight yikes!!

Just got rid of my 90 tabs! I now have 10 groups with over 200+ tabs yikes

Just reduced a rogue project that was 5.2mb to 1mb 😂. Ask me anything

I’ve survived a huge upgrade plan. We need to get to next js 16 at some point in the future. Currently stuck at 14. We have lots of microfrontend stuff stuck at react 18. A bunch of iframe and a custom form library. Currently updating them all the react 19 and then after that it’s Eslint upgrade

Deployed Astro with only Astro components to GitHub, leptos project and then a next.js project. An Astro react project is almost on its way 😅. I’m enjoying the just build it and forgetting this has to be super professional to be portfolio piece. It’s been a cure for my burnout 😅 so far

Images fixed what a pickle deploying to GitHub with next js 😂. Glad my others are Astro

Finally somewhat finished a personal project. Mobile is lacking but in finished with the idea 😂

I’ve now been tasked in working with vagrant project with a readme saying “one day this will be in docker” git commit from 2017😂

AWS voice control is down. What a fun morning. Also no slack huddles

LLMs aren’t intelligent they’re slot machines with autocomplete. You pull the handle (prompt). The reels spin (probabilities). Sometimes you get brilliance. Sometimes… cucumbers. Welcome to the AI casino, where the house always wins. danielphilipjohnson.com/blog/ai-slot-machines

Who wants to see a dev preview of my cyberpunk website fever dream 😂

You know what ruined personal projects for me. Thinking they have to be production ready. I’m just going to dabble and play around for a bit

AI workslop: it appears there is productivity as stuff is getting shipped. But it just pushes the burden downstream. For others to check, correct or redo. So going from creator to receiver. Using it polish work yes great but in my experience it’s just used to generate the whole thing.

Im still here in the background just trying to make life more calmer.

PM: “Why couldn’t you get started?” You: “Docker wouldn’t build MongoDB.” PM: “What is it?” You: “It’s a NoSQL database that stores JSON-like documents… but that’s not important right now.” Finally managed to use the joke in wild somewhat 😂
