Exactly! I do this for all my personal projects. At work we have a custom setup up for our monorepo that only opts in a few options and blocks custom paths to maintain consistency so I am stuck with relative imports. I've been advocating to move away from relative paths.

Two sorely underrated engineering skills: - Anticipating the impact of supporting multiple versions and deprecating promptly or having a realistic deprecation plan - Adequate testing to avoid painful bugs in future changes

I started using diffview.nvim plugin 🔌 within vim and then realized I could write my own commands for diffing like cycling through merge conflicts, keep head, main or both and my workflow leveled up. 📈 I still like having the plugin though for highlighting complex issues.

Why are "Saved For Laters" so bad in ecommerce? They put it in your cart so maybe I'll check out with it also. That conversion must be low. People want to create a board of items they might by at some point and reference it. Give it a page or a drawer or something. Make it feel personal.

Why do I feel like sometimes I am focused on fixing the AI's syntax errors when I feel like it should be fixing all of MY syntax errors? 🤔 Has the AI takeover begun!?

This is tough tbh. I try to give it the smallest task at a time or something that only requires understanding the engineering problem and not the output.
