Perfect example of why experienced developers shit on AI. "Junior Developers are Panicking over this Anthropic Release" Pure fear mongering for engagement and signups.

I can't get over how great it feels to build something with NestJS & Angular. The combination has made me want to actually level up my skill with software engineering again. I genuinely don't think I would have paused my professional dev career so soon if I had been working with…

You don't have to respond to all of your DMs. For some of you, this seems obvious, but for others, it's much harder to accept. You don't owe everyone your time. Especially if you feel like you're pulled in too many directions, one of the kindest things you could do to yourself…

I'll die on this hill - but I want to die the right way... Nuanceposting. Writing is amazing for learning, because writing is thinking, and thinking is good. Trying to COPY notes during a LIVE lecture is what I'm talking about, because you're sacrificing thinking for COPYing…

You want to know the real reason why most hiring managers won't tell you why they didn't hire you? Karens that threaten legal action, negative reviews, or who just want to argue about it. The root problem in most things in life is almost always Karens.

I've never met someone determined to become a developer not become a developer. I've met A LOT of people who swear that they're determined, yet their actions over time expose a different truth though.

If you're looking for job security, you should definitely join a company that prioritizes building "AI" features. There's no chance that the company is doing this because they're desperate for revenue. AND AI features attract venture capital money and we all know how much VCs…

Nothing shows that you're a perfect fit for a company you applied for like sending them the most generic application possible. Figuring out companies you specifically align with and crafting a tailored cover letter is inefficient. You especially don't want to follow up with…

Almost 6 years into my business, I can create any hours that I want to for myself, and 9-5 still seems to work best for me 🙃

If you complain on social media about how hiring managers don’t know how to hire correctly, that’ll for sure get you hired because that shows leadership skills. You know how hiring should be done and that starts with hiring you. And it’s important to let everyone know that.

The only way to become irreplaceable by AI is to have AI do your job for you.

As a developer, it's imperative that you ask someone what language they used to build their project, and without asking for any more context, tell them why they should build it in your favorite programming language. They were just ignorant and they are lucky to have you guide…

People saying that "GPT 5 gets us close to AGI" should be banned from all tech jobs.

GPT-5 just refactored my entire codebase in one call. 25 tool invocations. 3,000+ new lines. 12 brand new files. It modularized everything. Broke up monoliths. Cleaned up spaghetti. None of it worked. But boy was it beautiful.

Alright, Subgrid (CSS) is pretty cool. Aligning nested elements across separate containers with dynamic dimensions feels clean with it. It's perfect for pairing a form / preview page. I'm finding more and more reasons to use CSS Grid.
