Disney+ blocked nordvpn
So I did what any rational dev would do
- googled "tailscale on fly github"
- found a github repo
- Deployed it to a region in Canada
- Set it as my exit node
Now I have a private VPN and can watch anything I want

my two cents:
as a FAANG hiring manager, when i see a developer resume I flip a coin and if tails, i put it in the discard pile.
to me it’s a red flag. why would I hire someone so unlucky?

not because it was the best thing for the project
but because she knew the project was likely to be cancelled anyway and wanted us all to have an extra keyword for our CVs

90% of the time I spend coding is thinking about the correct code to write, not pressing keys on the keyboard
if you're optimizing the things that already don't take very long, I just assume you're a junior

I just found this custom hook and HAD to find out how it worked
const [ref1, ref2, ref3] = useMultipleRefs()
The hook returns an iterator
- destructuring calls the iterator
- on each iteration, the hook returns a useRef()

Your icons should be SVG sprites instead of JSX
- make a component like <Icon name="trash" />
- get autocomplete for icon names
- auto build the spritesheet when new svgs are added

Here's how to do server-side table filtering like
@linear
- put OData query params in the URL
- use
@shadcn
ui menus to select the filters
- display it with
@tan_stack
table
- Remix's loaders will update the data as soon as the URL changes

ok I LOVE the way this is looking now
- shadcn popups/combobox
- URL is source of truth, using OData spec
- <FilterPopover> component
- <MultiSelectCommand
Easily add more filters by adding new triples
- subject: status, priority
- operator: ==, !=
- value: todo, done
