Looking into switching to local and/or open-source models (especially to replace Cursor); if anyone's got a great experience with this I'd love to hear about it!

Hey, friends. I appreciate everyone I've met through #Streaming on #Twitch, learning #GameDev, and doing things with #Godot. I've got to ask for some help though. Having a plumbing emergency that's setting me back $3000. If you can help out, please do. Much love! ko-fi.com/jddoesdev/tip

Coded cross-posting for my blog. If I use a canonical URL (e.g. company blog) it'll post to those sites (disable-able!); on my blog it'll just redirect to the URL. It can also cross-unpublish. THEN I fixed the social cards generation. AND I did 50% of my social app UI! 🔥 11/100 Days of Atlantis

That Raid emote is definitely going to need to be smaller. I'll run some tests to get a better feel for the sizing. Well. 26 more emotes to go. 🤷‍♀️ 10/100 Days of Atlantis

The cute lil baby kraken (mascot) is angy. I'll get better at drawing, I promise :') It took me twenty minutes just to get this far 🤣 Emotes have to be visible at tiny sizes so I might have to redo some bits to be more obvious. 9/100 Days of Atlantis

We're building from scratch! Literally all I had time for was to make the repo and copy over the PRD + Cursor roles from an old repo. This is the third time I'm starting it but it gets finished this week. THIS. WEEK. 8/100 Days of Atlantis

Uploaded two emotes to Twitch out of the thirty I need to make :') Featuring Sephi the cat. idk if I should've left the text there or not? I'll see how it goes. Can always remove it. 7/100 Days of Atlantis

Tried to figure out how the ears sit against the hair. Also started on the chibi kraken Twitch emotes but I might just try to do it with the XP Pen tablet tomorrow. Anyone wanna recommend drawing/painting software? xD 6/100 Days of Atlantis

Trying to figure out some basic shapes, especially for the ears and general facial features. I'm sure she'll evolve over the years as long as my drawing skills do. Probably gonna spend all day drawing tomorrow to make up for the busy work week 🤣 5/100 Days of Atlantis

Not much time for drawing today but the changes y'all suggested on Twitch were great :D Thanks! 4/100 Days of Atlantis

Testing out ideas for one of the Atlantean mascots. I think maybe if I can get the moustachey bit sorted it might work. 3/100 Days of Atlantis

I'm hosting a workshop with Pi Labs tomorrow on building good application-specific evals/benchmarks! If you've decided to build with AI and don't test your LLMs yet this is low-hanging fruit and geared towards beginners. luma.com/zs65c9b7

Made some decisions about the two mascots thanks to the Atlantis community hanging in Twitch chat today. Left naming for later - that'll probably take a couple of weeks 💀 Now I can start the terrible process of drawing them. 2/100 Days of Atlantis

This was one of the most satisfying things to cross off this year

Reinstalled the Atlantis wiki because that was quicker that sorting out the issue from last time. Let the lore records begin! :D 1/100 Days of Atlantis

I've decided on 100 Days of Atlantis due to how my last 100D Challenge panned out. I'll finish the social media assistant app, finally start building Grid, sort Twitch tasks, and grow our creative tech community with some *amazing* people in the process. Wish me luck! 0/100 Days of Atlantis

Wrapped up the freelance CMS project. I can always come back to the repo graveyard and chant a spell to update dependencies if I want to resurrect it. 100/100 Days of Side Projects

Changed a bit of the workflow and data structures for the freelancer CMS. 99/100 Days of Side Projects

Installed Resend. Was impressed by the onboarding page. That's all for today! 98/100 Days of Side Projects

Searched through a bunch of email solutions. Eugh. The scene looks bleak for local development testing, tbh. 97/100 Days of Side Projects

Worked on the quote and invoice generation; moved it to the same page for templates. 96/100 Days of Side Projects

Developed the user and client accounts, though something doesn't feel right. 95/100 Days of Side Projects

Hosted the WP info session for an old client. Felt good to help out, tbh. 94/100 Days of Side Projects

Tried to do more with the branding. Unsuccessfully. 93/100 Days of Side Projects

Arranged to do a side project WP info session it appears. Woo. >_> I wanna be donnneee with WordPressssss~~ 92/100 Days of Side Projects

Made a Sephi emote that I didn't upload to Twitch (yet), It's just a cropped photo of him yawning. xD 91/100 Days of Side Projects

Revisited emojis again for Twitch. Nope. Wonder why I started with the sobbing one immediately though... Maybe it's easier to draw than some other expressions. 90/100 Days of Side Projects

Streamed on Twitch! Yay. Last one before I hit the road! Or air... There's not much hitting though, is there? Also did some CFPs. 89/100 Days of Side Projects

I have ordered 9 pairs of shoes to try on for cosplay shoes. >_> I managed to find a pair good enough for Yennefer's Witcher 3 boots. Success! Wish I could've just been to a bunch of these places in person but nope. Time for returns... 88/100 Days of Side Projects

Finished creating custom footers based on drawings from old books. My tablet came in handy. 87/100 Days of Side Projects

Did a ton of research on boots for my Yennefer cosplay. I am 100% counting this as side project stuff :') Especially as I'll be cosplaying on stream, too. Though probably not with the boots. 86/100 Days of Side Projects

Did some research into how CMSes are built. It was kinda superficial. The work I did on the freelance platform wasn't, though! 85/100 Days of Side Projects

Spent a LOT of time diving into twitch analytics to figure out how I should operate better with my channel. Had a look at some others as well. Pretty much just need to increase some of the time I spent streaming and also stream more interesting things >_> 84/100 Days of Side Projects

Did my first public tech talk at AI for the Rest of Us in London! It went WELL! :D ✨ Looking to do more talks if anyone's got recs for their favourite places 💖 The topic was system prompt hardening btw because ya girl's in AI security now. 83/100 Days of Side Projects

Did a bunch of talk prep for my upcoming lightning talk on System Prompts. :D 82/100 Days of Side Projects

Ended up picking Surfer for SEO things and setting it up for writing. 81/100 Days of Side Projects

Did some research for stream, applied for talks, and spent way too much time on prompt hacking. 80/100 Days of Side Projects

Spent most of the day on researching SEO tooling. Tried improving Obsidian as well with additional plugins. Didn't find too much. Dying to do a newsletter though :') 79/100 Days of Side Projects

Spent a few hours on SEO research. Ofc I read many opinions on Reddit 🤣 There are quite a range of takes on how to use AI as a part of the process, and how AI has overall affected SEO. 78/100 Days of Side Projects

Worked with the databases for the freelance app using Appwrite. Set up more of the collections for the upcoming features. 77/100 Days of Side Projects

Did some branding adjustments for another website project. Rebuilt a website in Svelte. 76/100 Days of Side Projects

Made some changes to the freelance project that's meant to be *done* =_= And then worked on another site to about 90% completion. 75/100 Days of Side Projects

Continued the freelancer CMS I did some PRD items for on stream. Spent too much time on trying to get Coolify to work locally only to ditch it and straight-up use Docker instead (probs WSL2 issues). I intend to use it in production, still. 74/100 Days of Side Projects

Wrapped up one of the WP projects and photoshopped a lil footer for another project. It's such a RELIEF to be done with that one. (also watched keyboard accessibility video) 73/100 Days of Side Projects

Watched videos on building accessible notifications today! 72/100 Days of Side Projects

I think the tactic of sneering at crypto as obvious bullshit while it goes on to con millions of people out of billions of dollars is not the right way to approach AI criticism. But most people who hate AI right now are adopting the same ineffective tactics. So they call me an AI apologist. I’m not.

Building accessible forms videos :D Also did some planning on stream for my freelancealot CMS (naming was difficult 🤣) 71/100 Days of Side Projects

Watched drop-down and page-level accessibility videos. 70/100 Days of Side Projects

More accessibility videos ofc... And also my gift to myself arrived. For doing work to do more work :') 69/100 Days of Side Projects

Learnt about accessible naming and descriptions. Worked through the WP side projects with great company on Twitch as well. 68/100 Days of Side Projects
