2025 — A Year That Changed Everything
A deeply personal reflection on 2025, the year I became a father, lost and rediscovered my sense of self, changed jobs to join Buffer, and learned to embrace a calmer approach to life while looking…

There’s something about history-based fiction that gets me every time. The feeling that the past holds secrets we haven’t uncovered yet. The Venetian Betrayal leans into that perfectly like the previous two already did. Love these Cotton Malone books 📚

People ask me what tools I use for coding. The honest answer: it's not one tool anymore. It's an entire ecosystem. Here's what my daily setup looks like as a frontend engineer at Buffer 🧵

Anyone else facing the issue that they can't use Yarn 4.x on Claude Code in the desktop app? For some reason, it always fails to install?

Claude's scheduled tasks: What do you use them for? The only thing that I use them for at the moment is to weekly update some npm packages for projects and create a PR for these changes (basically what dependabot does but in a single PR instead of multiple)

One of the biggest improvements in my workflow recently has basically been talking to AI using a speech-to-text tool like Wispr Flow. Especially with multiple instances of Claude running, talking instead of typing makes you a lot quicker.

Designers and PMs that code, engineers that ship entire UIs that actually don't suck. Things have changed so much recently and I love it. It's just a matter of time that these roles will merge into one single. A builder (or how the Laravel community would say: "Artisans")

Are We All Just Builders Now?
Something has been shifting quietly in product teams over the last year or two. What if the roles we've built our industry around are less permanent than we think?

tip: If you append /rss to a username (like
bsky.app/profile/rath...
) it will give you the RSS feed for a profile which you can then load inside of Buffer. I have been doing this to stay up-to-date with a few accounts that regularly share interesting articles

Looking for Claude Code experts: How do I trigger a skill from a hook? Is that possible? For example, I want to run a specific skill if the user prompt contained a specific word. How would I set that up?

Not sure if anyone else feels the same but these days my bottleneck for productivity is not waiting for others to review my PRs anymore but actually reviewing what each of my Claude instances produced.

Back in the days, I used to stay up to date with what happens in the Laravel community by just following some key people on Twitter. Now that I've left that platform and moved here, I feel like I'm not catching up on the same amount of information. What do you folks do to stay up to date?

I'm due for another iteration of my personal website
rathes.me
and I am wondering if I should try a version that has no navigation at all and everything is based off the homepage. You can navigate my website without the navbar already but I am thinking of removing the top navigation altogether 🤔

I’m currently using purely Claude Code in the terminal and then only use Cursor for reviewing these changes and sometimes make quick manual changes. Do I still need Cursor then? 🤔 Is there anything I can do with Cursor here that would improve my flow?

I've been going for early morning runs (waking up at 5:30am and out at 6am) and while my running hasn't improved, I had a really nice side effect: I can kinda handle the cold better than I did before 🙈 I'll take that as a win!

Anyone's started writing their Year in Review posts? I think mine this year will be a different one compared to the previous ones. I've started to enjoy writing more about my reflections so this Year in Review post will be going in that directions as well.

Similar to what I did with
todos.aheenam.com
, I’m really inclined to build a fully stripped down version of Notion. Just for writing and organising it. Not AI stuff, no calendar or email, maybe not even databases

Shipped a small side project: a todo app for solo devs juggling multiple projects. Built it mainly for myself — to code without AI but also to have a simple enough place to manage my side projects (Notion does not work for me)
