I thought technology would set me free, but it just kind of makes me feel icky.

Found a photo of a slide from my first-ever conference talk.

Slide that reads "people access your content on their phones whether you like it or not."

I'm shocked by how many people I know that make amazing music. A lot of people just don't talk about the music they make, but rest assured, it's happening.

We built Sonica for artists, not to take money from them. That's why selling on Sonica is free. Artists keep 100%, and fans only pay extra if they want to support the platform.

I did it! After 6 months of coding 8-16 hours a day, I onboarded my first real user to Sonica! Today marks a great achievement! Thanks to all that believed in me and supported me. We will keep opening up the gates and sending out invites. Grab yours!

It’s a war on your mind. They are trying to convince you chaos should have more attention than peace.

We tested Sonica's payments system today in production, and it was a success! Soon, everyone will have the ability to upload, share, and sell their music on a platform that was built for artists.

Vibe coding and tests seem to be opposing concepts, but I've found the missing link to fast AI feature coding. Tests have always been important, but now with Playwright MCP server, my coding agent connects straight to my tests. Now I can build features and along side them, the AI agent runs my them!

Hi, I'm Noel, and this is Violet. We built Sonica, a modern music platform built for artists. With Sonica, you can easily publish your work, connect with fans, and monetize your music. Sign up for Sonica now, to get early access as we role out the alpha in the next few weeks!

Many of my skills have gone to $0 with AI, but many of them have had a 1000x multiplier attached. The things I am able to do more effectively now are amazing. I love creating software.

The missing answer to your vibe coding, is a full test suite, and playwright mcp server. This is how you vibe code with results.

All day, been fighting a `filter: blur` bug, and I've learned that there is a `filter: blur` and `backdropFilter: blur` bug in Chrome that is only resolved by restarting your computer. I feel like I'm still in 1996.

Today, I worked on some updates to the producer, worker service. This is the backbone of Sonica. It processes audio, packages downloads, and sends notifications. Coupled with Kubernetes autoscaling, your uploads in Sonica, are processed blazingly fast. Will demo this in some more updates this week.

It's been a whirlwind. I've moved from Portugal to Amsterdam! Amsterdam is gorgeous! Sonica is in full development, and the alpha is underway. #buildinpublic updates will resume.

In Sonica, if you work on a song with collaborators, you can all get paid, easily and quickly, just open up the track, and add artists—payments are sent straight to your bank account! Sonica alpha is starting in June. Sign up now, to get on the waiting list!

The key to life is balance. You don't need to hate all vaccinations if you think one of them is bad. New, untested vaccines might actually not be great for you. But in the case of measles, it absolutely will save your life.

Built a new personal website and personal iOS app using Lynx. The process was so enjoyable. Developing with Lynx is a special treat.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵
