@theo thanks for your talk at @CascadiaJS! Mind bending stuff. Excited to build bigger. 🧠

I think I'm terrified of shipping.

So now that I'm writing less code 'by hand', I'm finally trying to properly learn `vim`, since it feels like it'll be less costly in terms of time-commitment.

I got Claude to set me up with a nice neovim setup for webdev (tree view, LSPs), but I'm still weak at vim basics.

We'll only have AGI when LLMs can properly close an ASCII text box.

so... u too?

I just did that thing where you accidentally send a message to the wrong chat, except instead of a person, I sent a message to the wrong Claude Code session. 🤦‍♂️

My solution; vibe-code an orchestrator script on my MacBook that builds the macOS version locally, and then uses `ssh` to remotely run the build script on my Gaming PC downstairs (for Windows) and also ssh into WSL running on that same PC (for the Linux version).

I ran out of GitHub Actions minutes (free plan) while building my upcoming Rust/Tauri app. 🙈

[hamish @hamstu]

@LuisaMunizSimas Thank you Luisa :) Excited for you to try it – coming soon!

[hamish @hamstu]

Coming soon: Hangar ✈️

It's a desktop app I've been building for the past few weeks. Fully cross platform with Tauri/Rust. Local-first.

Get ready to organize the chaos of your local dev/projects directory. ✨
Launching next week!

When just about anybody can clone your app with one-shotted AI slop, this feels essential to help you really stand out. ✨

[hamish @hamstu]

AI makes me faster, but it doesn't necessarily make me better.

With my upcoming app Hangar, i've spent a lot of time trying to polish little things to improve the overall design, and UX. It's a bit buzzwordy, but I do feel like "craft" is going to become even more important.

[hamish @hamstu]

@mymate_ai Thanks. There's not much state to manage. The app uses a static JSON file to track the projects, then there's some lightweight watcher code in the Rust backend that checks Git status to update that column.

[hamish @hamstu]

It's a silly thing, but my favorite part is the customization. I love tweaking the fonts and theme till it's just right.

[hamish @hamstu]

Welp... guess it's time to fully move to a different messaging platform.

My favorite software for learning Japanese is Anki. It's a free flashcard app that has tons of useful plugins, plenty of helpful guides to help you get setup, and it works on any device!
