Today I've done something new: I've recorded myself while building a feature. One take, no edits. Watch me build tag suggestions + summarization in one sitting. youtu.be/R17l5j_-itA
Distribution is king. No, most engineers don't use Cursor, but Copilot. The same as most companies run on Teams, not Slack. Never bet against MSFT.
Today I've implemented import/export for bookmarks and feeds at Fika. I was positively impressed that exporting all my ~6k bookmarks worked instantly, when most cloud-based applications take forever (if they implement export at all). Another win for local-first!
Javascript tip: When a `map` returns null values, we often want to filter these values out. Most people use `map` + `filter`, but it's good to remember that you can also use `flatMap` and return `[]` instead of null.

How can a Nintendo switch cost $450 when the iphone pro costs $1000?
Ambition is a curious thing. Tell someone they lack it, and they’ll likely take it as a personal insult, as if you’ve questioned their value. But people have different levels of drive, or are simply at different points in their lives. And that’s perfectly okay.
"It typically takes Google a few weeks to process a disavow file and begin factoring the disavowals into a website's ranking, but it can take several months for the full impact to be seen." So anyone can ruin a competitor's SEO by simply spamming toxic backlinks?
My Soham Parekh take: just measure commits "via negativa": Lots of commits does not indicate high performance, but low or no commits does indicate a performance problem. We've had developers with no commits for 2 weeks and no clear communication on why. Fire them.
