For my formatting in TS files in neovim, I used to use prettierd for formatting. Now I migrated oxfmt and it's fast enough that I don't need anything special.

Composer 1.5 - In: 3.5 Out: 17.5 Composer 1 - In: 1.25 Out: 10 GPT-5.3-Codex - In 1.75 Out: 14 Is composer really that good to charge 2x premium for input? Cursor themselves put out a tweet saying their engineers prefer GPT-5.3-Codex.

I tried Wispr Flow after a lot of reluctance, but it is amazing and great. Most of my reluctance is due to the fact that it is another subscription in my life. But I discovered that it's pretty cheap like $3/month in India.

I debug a lot of my issues using logs in GCP. But the GCP interface for it was always the bottleneck. It's painful to multiple sets of corelated logs. I am always in comment/uncomment hell.

Learning about subagents is a big unlock for me. I am running a browser automation that has been running for 2+ hours now. Without using subagents, Opus went down random rabbit holes. Sonnet didn't work though. May be I gave it too much bad context.

Codex CLI: If you prefer X over Y, say the word and I’ll fix the ordering rule. May be a bit too much trying to please me attitude. No thanks!

I have 35GB of duckdb wal file. When I open duckdb cli, it's taking forever to open. Don't know how long it will take to open the file

Finally setup my Photo Library on a 2 TB SSD after procastrinating for several years. Now I need to organize 4 years of photos. At least I have decent workflow.

I love hackmd to write documents when I am on a video call. It's so smooth. It feels much faster compared to writing on Google Docs.

I have to breakup with prisma in side project and switch to drizzle. prisma generate causes the VM to hang randomly. I don't have will power to investigate why CPU usage goes to 100% suddenly.

Me: Dear GCP, can you increase request quota for t2d instances from 0 to 1? GCP: Please contact through your account team or submit a request to sales team. Unless you are an enterprise, GCP doesn't want you.

Probably the nth time I got nerd sniped into thinking about running CI in spot VMs. It’s too much work for non-existential gain and also adds a bus factor in the context of my workplace. 😮‍💨

I have side project which uses 200GB of bandwidth per month. I currently host this on AWS Lightsail. Images are probably 99% of this bandwidth used. I spent the day trying to optimize this at zero cost.

I spent 3 hours fighting with a bug that occured after we migrated to latest version of vite/plugin-react. Turns out it's a issue with our CSP not allowing react-refresh inline script to be injected into index.html.
