I hate being family tech support. Yesterday I had to drive 2 hours to install a printer. Today, the wifi apparently has an issue 😭

The issue with the concept of replacing all developers with AI is that we won't have anyone to develop the tooling and programming languages. So what, we are just gonna sit on JavaScript and Python forever and never improve upon it?

That's him. That's the guy who said that people shouldn't become developers because AI will take over all the jobs

🎄 On the twelfth day of coding, my project gave to me... Twelve deadlines looming, Eleven logs a-spamming, Ten servers crashing, Nine devs debugging, Eight dependencies breaking, Seven PRs pending, Six tests a-failing,

AI is improving but hasn't yet replaced developers. I don't buy into fear-mongering. If businesses take months to decide on a feature, replacing developers with AI will take much longer. That time might come, but it's far off.

First time I had the option to reserve an antire row in a flight. My seat + 2 other seats next to it. That’s the dream 🤩

I can’t believe this is probably an hot take 🌶️ , but: When did everyone become so sensible and short-fused? We can and should have DIFFERENT OPINIONS and be chill about it 👇

Starting in January, I would be open for some consultancy / freelance work. If anyone needs an extra set of eyes 👀 or hands 🙌 on their project, let me know.

Developers who add the trailing slash to the base URL for API calls are evil. I can't be the only one who thinks that this is the only way. ❌ `${baseUrl}users ✅ `${baseUrl}/users`
