@jackfriks Both my macbooks are the same, I think I'll just factory reset at this point

@noyize @ChrisKruegerDev But this is only navigation ui? Not for a button or some other component?

@quinnslcm Seems like a pain. Apple should just fix the distance

@jig_corp @TryAstroApp Starting to see that!

Marketing day on the train.
Bought @TryAstroApp to learn more about ASO and so far the mcp tool is amazing

@TimoBuilds_ 60s doesn't seem enough?

[Magnus vS @ProdCoder]

@ThePeterMick What about when trying to use AI for the marketing as well 😬

[Magnus vS @ProdCoder]

@SachinNeravath Yes but do people tend to click those ads? My eyes immediately go towards the first real result

@mahersafadii Wasted 1h of my life 🤦‍♂️

@Gavel_on_X Well there's some café that's being run by Claude and it needed to hire baristas to run it

@catalinmpit Studio display will (sadly for the wallet) make a desk look better

@TimJayas I'd say Vibe-driven development is more important than how you build!

[Magnus vS @ProdCoder]

Working on a new onboarding, SwiftUI isn't too bad for these types of animations

@o_kwasniewski How does it look like at 1x speed?

@DavidKPiano If your answer is "same" or "more", I have some bad news for you

@owen_venter Yes definitely, just something about manually typing a lot of code that puts me in a flow state

[owen.sol @owen_venter]

Programming used to put me into FLOW state often. That’s a big part of why I fell in love with it. Late night missions building games, apps, whatever, it felt great.

Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi has a great quote on this:

“The best moments in our lives… occur when a person’s body or mind is stretched to its limits in a voluntary effort to accomplish something difficult or worthwhile.”

AI has kind of nuked the personal challenge part of that. I don’t fall into those same FLOW states nearly as often anymore. It’s a strange position to be in because I’m undeniably more productive, but some of the joy is gone. I still love building software, but now the enjoyment comes more from seeing products come to life and have real-world impact than from the actual process of writing the code.

I’ll miss the deep flow states that came from fighting code for hours into the night, but I feel like I do need to find new areas that still offer that same sense of challenge.
