I refreshed my blog, and decided to start producing technical content again. Appreciate any feedback, thank you ❤️.

RT @sebastienlorber: Next.js middleware checking request auth

I gotta say, Cursor is next level. Finally tried it. The agent is great for rapid prototyping of UI’s (since I suck at frontend). Still just doing mostly isolated sections in steps, too much at once and it will just spit out garbage you spend more time debugging than you gain.

I’m pretty surprised by what Claude 3.7 Sonnet spits out in terms of code. Much better quality than GPT.

I’ve yet to try cursor or windsor. Can anyone convince me to move from VSCode + CoPilot?.

Do y’all senior devs still learn any new languages?. I haven’t in quite some years. I just don’t see the point. I’m never going to be as good at it as my main language, so it seems like a waste of time.

Want to grow as an engineer? . Learn to say “I don't know” and ask better questions.

AI won’t take your job. but it will generate 100 variations of the same wrong answer in 0.2 seconds.

You don’t fully understand pressure until one of your main systems is down and you’re on a live call with your VP/Director of Engineering trying to fix it 😳.

Becoming a software engineer takes hard work. It’s not for everybody. Creating code snippets from prompts gets you only so far. Distributed systems, scalability, security, performance etc. AI isn’t gonna help you buddy.

I’m never going to forget the 2018-2020 tech twitter community. Anyone ever think about those good times?.

Dang I’ve been gone for over a year. Anyone still around?.

RT @thirdweb: 🚨 HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨. We’re excited to announce that we acquired Paper, adding their industry-leading web3 wallet & checkout….

Best to be honest

The best code base is the one that is stupid simple.

Did you know that you can run @FastAPI as a lambda function?. You can use Mangum, an adapter for running ASGi applications in AWS lambda. Check out this post where I explain it in detail:.

Happy Sunday friends. Whatever it is you are doing today; coding, relaxing, netflix, etc. Enjoy! ❤️.

Communication 101. When you are talking to people, summarize their sentences:. ✅ Alright, so you are looking for . correct?. ✅ Just to verify, . is what you meant right?. ✅ Thank you, if I got that right you are referring to . ?. This avoids miscommunications.

Tech twitter has kind of lost it’s charm for me. .

On a scale of 1 to 10. how good a programmer would you categorize yourself?.
