Huge milestone: we reached 1,000,000 COMPLETED documents at Documen.so

Updating my small, static Astro site gives me inexplicable joy. I added testimonials and updated the sponsorships page. You can browse the site at catalinpit.com. By the way, I regret not asking people for testimonials sooner.

The worst part about being in the middle is that you have to argue with both sides. The best part is that you don't have AI psychosis, but you also don't fall behind.

I’m the biggest remote work fan, but if I didn’t have a family, I wouldn’t work remotely. I’d travel to tech-centric cities and genuinely network with people. However, with a family, remote work is the best. There’re no other people I’d rather spend my time with.

Dr. Axel Rauschmayer took his blog and JavaScript books off the Web due to AI His income from book sales went from being enough for him to live off to 0. Also the AI crawlers overwhelms his site with traffic What do you think about this situation? It's a tough one for creators

FINALLY! I've been saying this for a while. Most apps would be just fine using React, Vite and TanStack Router/React Router. Sadly, people love to overcomplicate things.

AI is a net negative for open-source. It enables people to spam pull requests, issues and security vulnerabilities. It creates so much burden on contributors that you eventually don't feel like accepting any contributions.

On how I got burnt out by AI and recalibrated. AI is useful technology and it's here to stay. I just hope that the bubble bursts soon and tech returns to a somewhat normal state where things other than AI matter again. catalins.tech/ai-fatigue/

It’s Not the AI, It’s the People

AI isn't the problem. The people showing fake demos and charts for clout and sales are. Why I stepped away from the online world to recalibrate.

"I got into tech and coding because tech was my hobby. Now my hobby is is the same as work and work has ruined my hobby. So now if I want to enjoy tech I need to quit my hobby. Or I need to be OK that tech is no longer my hobby and find new hobbies."

You get ideas by doing stuff, not by waiting for them.

It's incredible how much you can do just by waking up earlier.

A long story short, here are my thoughts on migrating to TanStack Start catalins.tech/migrating-t...

Migrating to TanStack Start

A while ago, I decided to move away from full-stack React frameworks and use a client-server setup. That is, separate the backend and the frontend, each being a standalone app. So, here’s the stack I ended up choosing: * Backend: Hono + Bun + PostgreSQL + Zod + Prisma + TypeScript + Better Auth * Frontend: React
