🫵 Boss asked me to watch YT vid about making websites look and feel premium, and to apply it to our website. 👨‍💻 Me less than 7 hours later: "Here you go" Cursor really makes me productive.🤯

Interesting, it's possible to have a different "display name" in Finder instead of the actual file name.

VS Code/Cursor = Editor with built-in Terminal. Warp = Terminal with built-in Editor. They're converging.

Damn. Hit my Cursor usage limit.

000

Huh, finally reached Cursor usage limit.

How much do you need to pay the government for radio and tv which you don't use? It's 335 francs per year in Switzerland. 😮‍💨

"Today we announce ..." When is "today"? No date at all in the blog post. No date either in the URL. 😮‍💨

Even LLM is lazy lately.

Why are Desktop and Documents hidden in Tahoe??

I don't believe you.

A message displayed in a clear font, addressing the recipient as "Hi" and acknowledging them as a top contributor on GitHub in Switzerland. The text mentions a search for open source contributors and includes a link to a GitHub repository (https://github.com/adenhq/hive). The link is highlighted in pink.

I'm updating Prisma on multiple websites from v6 to v7. But instead of directly changing the version, I duplicated and updated the packages that use Prisma. This way, I can update the app one by one to make sure nothing breaks.

A screenshot of a code editor displaying a file structure in a project. The sidebar shows directories under "node_modules" and "packages," with several nested items including "database," "emails," "env," "ui," and others. Specific entries highlighted include "database-v7-utils" and "voucher-v7," indicating various modules and utilities related to database operations and vouchers. The overall theme is dark mode.

Really, LinkedIn? I don't believe you.

Nico @nico.fyi · 14/01/2026

Got a spike traffic anomaly on our company's website. I thought wow was it because of the LinkedIn post? But then I checked there was no spike in the LinkedIn analytics. Turned out it's our CI 🤦‍♂️

Another feature of this Onyx Boox Go 10.3 that makes me enjoy the reading experience is being able to write/type notes on the side.

Onyx Boox Go 10.3 e-reader and the pen to write on. The screen shows a split view. On the left is a page with a title that says The Time Wealth guide. On the right is the handwritten note.

This small little feature in a book reader really helps me enjoy the reading experience.

An e-reader with small text at the bottom of the book that says “This chapter (11/16)”

Why is Google Search Console sending me junk? It said there's a new owner but there are no other users??

I may or may not have wasted 82 minutes of today. But solving this Advanced Sudoku was satisfying 😂

Nico @nico.fyi · 30/12/2025

Love this Boox Go 10.3 🤩 was thinking of getting Remarkable. But it’s too expensive and it doesn’t run Android so no Playstore.

100

Nico @nico.fyi · 27/12/2025

This Onyx Boox Palma actually has front light. But I still feel more comfortable reading with the light off and use external light like this.

Nico @nico.fyi · 19/11/2025

I just realized my e-reader actually runs Android and can install apps lol

Is it just me who cannot stand reading a web page this wide? My eyes move too much from side to side 😵‍💫

The image features a webpage titled "Workwise • supercookie" with an introduction emphasizing the importance of data collection in modern web browsing. It discusses the evolution of data collection practices since the launch of the World Wide Web, including concepts like device fingerprinting and how browsers can identify unique users. The background section highlights the role of favicons in defining a website's identity. The text is set against a dark background decorated with subtle icons related to technology and the internet.

Congrats to New Yorkers but what the fuck is wrong with the billionaires. 26 of them and they only spent measly $22 million?!?! With 26 billionaires I kinda expect at LEAST they’d spend half billions on preventing something that obviously they don’t want to happen. Cheapskates!😂

200

Apparently useReducer is fine. Lol what the fuck. Is this ESLint bugs or what.

000

I thought it's because Date() always returns different value every time the effect is run so that's why the linter complains. But this ok?? 😂

100

It's getting more confusing. This caused linter error?????

100

Nico @nico.fyi · 30/10/2025

Can someone explain to me why the first code triggers linter error but the second not? I assume it's because obj.asiaTime in deps array caused the effect to be run more frequently?🤔

One day she’ll start bothering your sleep😂

When Cursor's model is drunk. Suddenly (probably) chinese character.

A screenshot of code in an integrated development environment (IDE) showing TypeScript or JavaScript. The code includes comments and variables related to finding the next question's first view time. It highlights conditions checking the indices of replies and questions, as well as initializing variables like `nextQuestionViewTime`. The code is formatted with syntax highlighting, differentiating between comments and code elements.

I don't get why this is so expensive 😵‍💫

A tall, natural wood ladder with five rungs. A beige towel is draped over the third rung. The background is plain and light-colored, enhancing the minimalist aesthetic. On the right, there's a product description box indicating the item is from La Redoute, along with pricing information.

Nico @nico.fyi · 20/10/2025

Hmmmmm @netlify.com secret scanning is kinda weird. When I built locally, the secret variable is not in the build output. I grep it. But in Netlify, it's detected in a bunch of files?? Like even in the binary node file????

Whenever a coworker asked for help with the problem on their Windows laptop.

A young man with short, light brown hair stands in front of a trailer with the word "Sam" visible on it. He is wearing a striped polo shirt in shades of pink, white, and blue. Text overlaid on the image reads, "YOU GUYS STILL USING WINDOWS?!".

Pretty sure I’ll get used to it but man liquid glass is so ugly 😒

Nico @nico.fyi · 17/10/2025

oooo thanks for that. but it's weird. it said i haven't logged in to third party apps even though i had.

Someone took an early start for Christmas 😂

A digital music app interface displaying a "Home" section. On the left, there is a prominently featured new release titled "Christmas Time (Special Edition)" by Michael Bolton, dated 17 October. The album cover features a black-and-white image of a smiling Bolton against a light background with festive illustrations. On the right, there's a section labeled "Made for You" showcasing "Nico's Station" with a vibrant graphic displaying pink and orange geometric shapes.

I wish Next.js just chilled a bit and let me export whatever I want from page.js.

Nico @nico.fyi · 08/10/2025

Really hate this kind of response from @vercel.com support team. 1. Trying to gaslight me even though I already mentioned that it worked fine in Preview deployment and **REDEPLOYMENT** in production always fixed it. 2. Doesn't even acknowledge that something's wrong with their product.

000

Nico @nico.fyi · 07/10/2025

Another annoying thing about Vercel. "Create case" in the support page doesn't actually create a case. I need to chat with a useless AI bot first before creating a case. Seriously, it's completely useless. It never solved my problems.

A screenshot of a support interface, featuring tabs labeled "Agent," "Support," and "Settings" at the top. Below, there’s a prominent "Create Case" button on the right. The section below lists options for filtering tickets: "All," "Open," "Transferred," and "Closed," with sorting options available. The overall layout is clean with a minimalistic design.

Nico @nico.fyi · 07/10/2025

How did this happen? I had 1TB 😭

A screen displaying storage information for a computer, showing "Macintosh HD" as the storage name. It indicates that 127.01 GB is available out of a total capacity of 994.66 GB. There is a button labeled "Storage Settings..." at the bottom right.

I love my cycling path to the office. Especially in great weather like this. Plus it's only 5 minutes away 😂

000

Nico @nico.fyi · 02/10/2025

you're right! Thanks, now it clicks for me 🥳 Though I don't know why the linter still complains even though i use the latest plugin. Maybe i messed up some setup.

100

Nico @nico.fyi · 02/10/2025

So it's basically like this but thanks to useEffectEvent, the linter will not complain anymore.

Did you know that a new born baby is subject to tax in Switzerland? Me neither.

I understand that choosing the right tool for the right job is important. But saying devs who use React don't ship value is nonsense. Then the irony. First, accuse React devs of not delivering values. But then recommend devs to do things that don't deliver value when starting a project 🤷‍♂️
