Two weeks ago I switched from PHPStorm back to VSCode and I noticed, I got way faster. 🤔

Yesterday, I tried to setup Apple reminders to reflect my setup of things. (Areas with repeating tasks and several projects with several tasks) Repeating tasks works without issue. But Apple reminders doesn‘t meet my requirements, when it comes to mixing in Projects with several subareas.

Switched from Apple Reminders back to @things I only needed to rediscover it recently, when I got annoyed that Reminders are showing up in my calendar - because to not have that is more relaxing. And then I was like: why not completely switch to something nice? Things is so much nicer to work […]

So, today I was converting a markdown-file to be rendered in a tailwind/react-project. The html was rendered but no lists, headlines or whatever were noticeable. Then I saw, that tailwind basically resets everything and I had to implement a typographic-plugin, which overrides that. Stupid me […]

Using invoker api in a react environment and react is like, nah I don‘t know that … let‘s just remove it. I really don‘t understand why a framework/library requires workarounds to be able to work with native apis. 😓

I mod @Vivaldi with some custom css. - I have created some files, that mimic elements from popular browsers, which you could download. This approach did not work well - especially not, when making changes. So as a weekend-project, I separated my "changesets" […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Today I was Demoing some things and were using quick commands and people asked me, which browser I was using at work, because of the productivity increase. I gladly answered of course. Also, I really like the unified appearance for @Vivaldi Thanks for another great update. 💝

The "batteries are just as bad as fossil fuels" stuff is so fucking stupid, so easy to refute with just a minute or two of rational thought, so *obviously* a piece of propaganda, that I just have no sympathy at all for people who fall for it. Gonna block everyone who drags it into my feed.

RE: mastodon.social/@Migueldeicaza/1161… AI is going great. So the job of a developer will soon only be this „could this be an attack vector?“ or verifying code produced by an AI. So basically reviews :(

TIL: if you are using @Vivaldi (which you should) you can assign a nickname to a shortcus and it will be used as a source for quick commands. So, if you have a JS bookmarklet, it can get easily executed using quick commands. How cool is that? 🖤
