I vibe coded a habit tracking app to record AI practice sessions. Like DuoLingo for using ChatGPT to practice. I'm pairing this with my trusty grammar text book 🇮🇹 It's quite a naive UI (improvements coming) but I got in the iconic github green squares.

1/ I’ve been using AI daily to learn Italian, and it’s been surprisingly effective. My speaking confidence is way up, and I’m finding it easier to think in the language. A few things that have helped so far: 🧑🏼‍🏫 Use AI as a companion, not a replacement ...

Sadly my laptop's sticker game is much weaker. Hack Day at Ramen Cub in Dalston.🏗️🧑‍💻 #javascript #coding #startups

✨ A few spots left for Saturday’s AI Hack Day at Ramen Space, Dalston @ramenclub.bsky.social @charlierward.bsky.social No prizes. No pitching. Just building cool stuff with AI. 👉 luma.com/903soqu5

Breaking down a side project in to manageable chunks, to fit a limited and tight schedule, is a skill in itself! #coding #javascript #sideproject

Half vibe coding, ie "don't write any code but show me what you would do". This seems to be a nice way to pick up some efficiency, whilst thinking enough about the code, that I can hold a mental model of it. Does anyone else use this approach? #coding #ai #javascript

Is the opposite of vibe coding, intentional coding? 👩‍💻

Day 2 of fixing my janky vibe coded project - adding supabase auth 🤓

Led Airplane

I'm a rusty coder (Solutions Engineering for my day job) - I've set myself the challenge to get up early every day this week, to re-write the mess that is my vibe coded app, with some love and intention. And a little understanding of NextJs. Day one goal - setup the basic app structure. Let's go!

The reviewers are not wrong, this was a fantastic read! I don’t think I’ve read a book that handles such a heavy era in such a fast paced and enjoyable style. Five stars from me! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

UI gamification is too powerful. I built a language tracking app, I’m the only user, it’s just a proof of concept… …and yet I’m genuinely considering a complex database migration just to keep my streak alive 😂

Skunk Anansie absolutely killed it last night at the Roundhouse. Highlights included crowd surfing on a giant pig, and calling all the women to the front for a mosh pit. Epic stuff 🔥🕺

It’s a teenage ambition and 90s flashback, I’m excited tonight to be seeing Skunk Anansie! LFG 🕺

This is my most boomer opinion, but I think it’s true … The reason why everyone’s mental health is terrible is because youth/ popular culture, which used to be essentially about going out with your mates and listening to music, is now about staying home and arguing about politics online.

Who else is watching #adolescence?

Scenic little hike in the Peak District.

Strava should track dancing 🕺

Cursor AI is also a great programming coach. But trying to get it to give me challenges with out giving away the answers first is a challenge! 🤖

Read a lot of Designing Data Intensive Applications this morning. Now going for a run to shake it off! 🫠🏃‍♀️

App Check and recaptcha have completely nuked the performance of my firebase site. It's def feeling like time I need to switch to Nextjs. Give me some backend routes pls 🙏

Testing a new morning routine contined. Today coffee and straight to work 4/10.

Testing new morning routines. Today park coffee 7/10

This is a very informative read, but I have to praise these map drawings. Such a fun and unexpected addition. I wish more technical books included such a slice of playfulness. Great work all round @martin.kleppmann.com 👏

The meta/instagram/facebook ad service is a mess. How can it be this difficult to pay for an ad? 🫠

Every time I think I've found the bottom the sketchiness of London Landlords, I reach a new low - this time sending fake asbestos contractors. This is fraud and dicing with people health 😡 #london #renting Anyone experienced dealing with this from a legal perspective, drop me a DM 🙏

Please share. 🙏🏻

whispers.... it feel a bit like spring ✨🙏 #london

Did you know chatGPT can get your Myers-Briggs? It’s guessing ENTP/ENFP for me, which seems about right.

⛴️ Blog page shipped! 🥳 But for SEO and dynamic meta data tagging, I think I'm gonna have to go for next or SSR of some sort. I've been messing around with this client side react for too long! + my first blog post 📖 soundness.events/blog/6_welln... #buildinpublic #react #javascript

It's so satisfying when you finally build a UI feature to edit, and no longer have to go straight to the db. At least this is user satisfaction for me #buildingpublic

Sunday progress, edit and delete functions available on soundness.events. #buildinpublic

Lazy Sunday, staying in coding and ordering pizza 🍕. #noshame

Community fibre down again 😭

Whoop, I passed my level one sounding certificate 🥳🎶🧘‍♂️

I’m blown away by the light show at Tottenham Court Road. #london

Extreme inequality and mass chronic economic insecurity are the root forces tearing us apart. Democracy requires a strong middle class, but decades of automation and globalization have eaten away at it, leaving us with a lot of angry people willing to burn it all down. We need a basic income floor.

I forget what a banger “Alive” by Daft Punk is. Every track is killer and mixed to perfection. 🕺🪩🤖

I'll sing the praises of a humble phone call over any video conferencing software. #bringbackphonecalls

Red light therapy has been one of my fav new habits. I couldn't definitively say it's made my skin look younger, but 😊 it's a winter mood booster 🧘🏻 a great, non digital meditation timer 🧡 feels a bit like sunshine Anyone else using red light? What's been your experience? #wellness #health

Wearing over-ear headphone makes me more focused. But no music please, that's gonna distract me. 🎧🥸 #coding

I'm getting adverts for guns on youtube - what is going on with the internet these days 🫠😬

This explains the copy style ChatGPT outputs then 🤣 #ai

Sound healing in action! ✨

Went bouldering for the first time in a ages this morning. I forget how good doing something that scares you is for your mental health. It's the most effective way to bring you back in to the moment and stop any repetitive thoughts. Finally a useful element to my fear of heights! 🧗‍♀️ #bouldering
