Buying domains is like picking up games in a Steam sale—you can't help but collect them, but you rarely use them. 💸

When you’re an engineer used to working at scale, getting out of your own way when working on a new app is essential.

A project doesn’t need all the fancy patterns and libraries you’re used to on day one—maybe never!

Just focus on getting it working. Start building. 👷🏻‍♂️

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

With more time on my hands, I’m reviewing my daily tools and eyeing up some upgrades. 👀

One thing I want to change? My shell. Oh-My-Zsh feels bloated, and the plugins can be unpredictable.

For the engineers: what are you using, and why? Anyone rocking nushell out there? 🧪

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

I started using @typefully yesterday and I already love it. It's a much slicker and smoother experience than @buffer, which I was using before.

To make installing it easier for nerds like me, I've added @typefully as a cask to @MacHomebrew. 🍻

I just updated my /now page—battling with the @squarespace page editor was incredibly painful. It’s so unintuitive. 🤢

@squarespace was just-about-okay when I had zero time, but I think I need to start piecing https://t.co/zhzJlHJAtP together myself again. 👷🏻‍♂️

@marckohlbrugge It'd be awesome to see a "fresh start" reset button added to @wip that wipes old todos/projects. I tried deleting them via the API, but it didn’t seem to be supported. With no bulk-delete option, I had to remove them one by one with manual confirmation. 🫠

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

Now that I've left @Onfido, I'm excited to work on my own projects and start building in public again, so I’m restarting my @wip Pro membership. 🚧

Thanks, @marckohlbrugge, for creating such an awesome community!

As a '90s kid, Zoombinis got me hooked on problem-solving and set me up for my career in tech.

25 years on, my oldest and I are playing through the remake, and he's as obsessed as I was with Arno the pizza troll! 🍕

Thank you @TERCtweets for bringing @ZoombinisGame back! 🙏

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

@levelsio This is awesome! 🤩

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

@FPresencia @marckohlbrugge This looks great! 👍

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

@marckohlbrugge Awesome! 🙌

What were you using to deploy these before, and how difficult was the migration to Kamal?

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

@Onfido Feel free to reach out if you're working on something special that you think would be a good match for me—my DMs are open! 🚀

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

After an incredible four years, today marks my last day at @Onfido. A huge thank you to everyone I've worked with—you've all taught me so much! 🙏

Now it's time for some R&R as I travel through Thailand with my family and consider my next move. 🌴

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

@NomadList @levelsio @levelsio Someday I'd love to see more family-focused data and features on the platform. If I could use @nomadlist to find and connect with other nomad families I'd be so happy! 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

One of my all-time favourite products continues to be @nomadlist. I snagged a $65 lifetime membership in 2016, and the value it’s provided has been incredible! 💰

Major kudos, @levelsio, for building something that keeps on giving. 👏

I had a blast this week revisiting the many past versions of my website. While reminiscing, I came upon this 2010 header designed by @adamfairhead - instant nostalgia! 😄

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

Years ago, when I first saw @sivers' /now page, I was inspired to create my own.

Today, I finally made it happen! 🚀

[Nick Pellant @nickpellant]

SaaS companies undervalue the benefits of keeping products alive long-term.

It was refreshing to hear @DHH and @jasonfried discuss @37signals approach to product longevity on the @reworkpodcast. I hope more businesses choose to follow their lead! 💪
