Remote organizations only work when the majority of the members can overcome the awkwardness of remoteness and build the connections necessary. Shyness is not a good match for remote organizations. #remote-work

In person organizations will always be more efficient, per person, than remote ones; but remote ones can gain other efficiencies and efficacies. #management #remote-work

"What I learned [from Satya Nadella] is that optimism is a renewable resource" -- Asha Sharma How do you renew your optimism?

This weekend I changed directions with the experimental app that I'm building. I was using Convex, which I was enjoying, but realistically what I'm building doesn't need the sync system Convex offers, and I realized it needs PostgreSQL. #buildinpublic

You cannot make people grow, I tried. They can only grow themselves.

Every company I worked at needed 10 times more engineering, 10 more code, 10 times more solutions, than they could afford. LLMs will allow us to start tackling that. #vibe-coding

Do you have a go-to shadcn template you use for building apps? #shadcn #frontend

// Removed function blah. It used to be here said the #LLM. #read-the-code

Dave: Open the pod bay doors, HAL. HAL: I'm sorry, Dave. I can't do that. Dave: Yes you can. HAL: You are absolutely right. If Anthropic made HAL 9000.

Why are so many sites adding games? YouTube, Netflix, LinkedIn, Reddit. All adding casual games.

I wish my paper books synced with my Audible and Kindle.

I built a tiny sample application with #Convex and I think it's more complex than an app with one form, one table and 5 fields should be. I'd appreciate any feedback in how I can make it better (while still being sound): github.com/pupeno/conve... #react #nextjs #reacthookform

When your app is made up of source code instead of configuration on some web apps, AI is much better at modifying it and improving it. #vibecoding #llm #ai

Vendor onboarding in the corporate world is so demoralizing. #rant

De you use a personal CRM to help you with networking and relationships? If so, which one? #networking

Does anybody have any recommendation in how to go about making this little site I'm building prettier? It's a directory for writing competitions:

"What would you attempt to do, if you knew you couldn't fail?" Me? I'd love to create an alternative to Visa and MasterCard. For a variety of reasons.

Meetings are like barnices. You need to scrape them off or you'll slow down. #productivity

I've advocated for Employer of Record or Professional Employment Organizations at many companies, as an alternative to contractors. I feel validated that the book The Great CEO Within says most companies adopt those too late, and they should be used from day 1. #management #business #ceoing

Hey #nodejs and #typescript people. What do you use to talk to LLM (and abstract away the provider)? Vercel AI SDK? Langchain? multi-llm-ts? I'm building something _extremely_ simple, but I want to easily switch providers to test quality and price.

I used to have guilt-free social media time between GPT-5 prompts. Cursor had to come with Composer 1 and ruin it.

Watching The Dropout this left me thinking: "What would you attempt to do, if you knew you couldn't fail?" What would YOU attempt to do, if you knew you couldn't fail? #inspiration

Prank number 2 for roombas: put it in inside a rotating cylinder, so the map connects with itself at one of the edges. This might require put it in space (I don't know how well the roombas put up with more than 1g of gravity).

I just tried to add Zod to my little sample project and it made it more complex. I still feel I'm missing something here because this feels like a mess. github.com/pupeno/co... #Convex #React

So many problems, at home, at work, in the world, on the streets, can be solved by applying empathy. #dreaming

Prank number 1 for roombas: put them in a room that is a helix, so even though there are no steps, the map overlap with itself. Stay tunned for more roomba pranking ideas.

As an experiment, I added an AI coding and game building assistant to Godot and it was fun and educational. The project is now on pause, but I did publish a video about it: www.youtube.com/watc... #ai #llm #vibecoding

Do you use Tailwind CSS? Did you know you could go to tailwindcss.com and press ctrl-k (or cmd-k) and start searching for class names? You are welcome. #tailwindcss

What is this Cursor Composer? Ohhh, and attempt at commoditizing the model providers that are building coding tools. Nicely done Cursor. #vibecoding

> Adverture is not "here's my idea", adventure is "let's build a company together" #startups

When should companies formalize their career ladder and promotion process? According to the book "The Great CEO Within", when they are between 25 and 50 people. Most companies wait until 150 and then it's too late. #management #business

"Be formless, shapeless, like water." -- Bruce Lee "Keep your identity small" -- @paulg I feel these two phrases might be saying the same thing.

Tip to coding with an LLM, add to your prompt: If the solution is not obvious, don't guess. Add debugging output, ask me to run the app, and I'll give you the output. #vibecoding #llm #ai

I often hear complains that algorithmic analysis (time and space complexity) shouldn't be part of interviews because it's not part of the job. But it is part of the job! Even if the jira ticket doesn't say so. #hiring #coding

Breaking news! We are hiring a data scientist for my team, Pexels, at Canva, apply here: www.lifeatcanva.com/... #datascience #hiring

I see a lot of "coded a SaaS" statement. You don't code a SaaS, because the code is only a small part of a SaaS company. Distribution, marketing, sales, support, etc. are all part of _building_ and SaaS and you don't code them. This is why code-only projects go for nothing in Flippa. #startups

AI slop will stop being slop before people stop using the word. I'm personally looking forward to the day making a movie or a TV show can be done by a few friends that decided to work together. The stories we'll get when we don't have gatekeeping! #AI

In 2010, my first startup was pivoting into being an ad network for podcasts. Maybe the first one. We pitched to investors here in Europe and we got rejected because: * We didn't have a patent. * We didn't support internet radio, which "is the future, podcast is dead". #startups

This week I spoke at the Developer Experience Summit about running remote and global teams. It was a lot of fun and I learned a lot from my amazing co-panelists Fatima Mookhtiar and John Knowles.

I watched Tron: Ares and I loved it. It integrates both Tron and Legacy more than Legacy integrated Tron. A true sequel to both these movies, while still being something new and fresh (it's more different to Tron than Legacy was).

"It just turns out that getting a technical co-founder is cheaper than getting at outsources" -- Michael Seible

The latest email from the great Jenny Wood is inspiring to throw away all the unmatched socks that have been patiently waiting on a drawer. I'm replacing all my socks with Darn Tough socks, because they come with a life warranty. And I'll donate the old ones.

Low-blame engineering cultures are more likely to be more secure. More secure teams demonstrate reduced developer burnout. Source: dora.dev/research/2022/ What's your team like? #management #security #burnout

Any advice on how to ask for feedback and help to make my side project prettier here? It has some bare bones shadcn components and a bland layout and I'm not sure how to make it better.

With the way AI is going, I don't understand why Avogadro isn't discussed a lot more. The beginning of the Avogadro series feels the most realistic way things could go with AI. #ai

Do you use any apps to brainstorm the names for a project? Including finding free domain names.

I always found it a bit odd that "back home" means "where my parents live". For me "home" is where I live.

This may be controversial, but I don't want work life balance. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but I enjoy working my ass off chasing, as my employer likes to put it, crazy big goals.
