Ok so I may downplayed how much having a fast computer helps with software engineering. Being able to run tests and checks quickly is really helping me to stay in the flow… got my first new MacBook Pro in 8 years! #buildinpublic
After hours of messing around with an OSS data grid and trying to contribute I have given up and begun reimplementing just the bits I need for a feature. I will add additional capabilities for the next feature and so on to keep on delivering value. wish me luck. #buildinpublic

Those working on side projects, have you talked to a customer this week?
Don’t over think it with fancy user research techniques etc, those can come later… for now just try and talk to users/customers regularly and build the habit!
Built an AutoLayout component in @sveltejs recently to mimic the behaviour of @figmadesign’s AutoLayout. Helps me to align mental models when jumping between design and dev. #buildinpublic
It’s taken a good 6 months of using @sveltejs and @tailwindcss to get to a place where I’m able to think more intuitively about the composition of my components in regards to state, structure and style. Feels good man! #BuildInPublic
Wow @github actions are pretty great & easy to set up. Though I did get caught out when trying to fast forward merge into a branch at the end. GitHub actions does a shallow checkout which doesn’t work with fast forward merge unless you set the fetch depth to 0. #buildinpublic
I forgot to put all of the awaits in my TypeScript so I was just nsync-ing with my async-ing like some kind of single threaded degenerate. #buildinpublic
If you haven’t tried @copy_ai give it a go. It’s been helpful for a landing page I’ve been building. It really shines when trying to come up with divergent ideas and phrasings by yourself, it’s too easy to get caught up on one’s own ideas and not consider others. #BuildInPublic
