What a shitty PDF export in Apple’s Notes app! Bullet points are often misaligned. Basic formatting comes off easily. Trying out Obsidian. Typewriter theme is 24K gold. PDF export working perfectly so far. File sync via iCloud is cherry on top.

Vitest’s new Visual Regression Testing feature looks so slick! What used to be a jungle mess of unreliable Selenium scripts a few years ago is now as trivial as snapshot testing your components. Well done Vitest team! Can’t wait to try it out in my next project.

On this day of lights, wishing you a bright and healthy day. Eat well, do the reps, and enjoy. If you are reading this in office, 🫡 If you are at home, ✌️ In both cases, Happy Diwali! 🪔

Turn on TV. IND 123/8. Turn off TV. Didn’t work. 124/9. Turn off TV. Still didn’t work. Week battery? All out 🤦‍♂️

OrbStack is as lovely as they say. Snappy Docker engine and slick UI! I’m gonna use it for a while and see how it goes. Bye Colima (for now).

Turns out Github Copilot's agent mode is perfect for executing long-running batch jobs in the background while I go about collecting ITR docs.

I got my first computer 21 years ago. To this day, every time I sit on my desk and start my computer, a wave surges through me. A wave of excitement to try new software, games, and operating systems. A wave of unlimited possibilities. A wave of getting shit done.

Measuring developer productivity was hard enough. Now engineering managers have to contend with measuring the impact of AI on dev productivity. Laura provides a list of key metrics (based on trends across big tech) that should be a good starting point for most orgs. (1/2)

Music is a productivity catalyst for me. Not having the currently playing track info in the foreground drives me crazy. Found this little guy called Silicio (top left corner) which is exactly what I had been looking from time immemorial. Shoutout to Silicio's devs!

I hate it when "new" websites versions/overhauls push fancy UI at the cost of regressed UX.
