As a serious professional software engineer, I obviously couldn’t resist the urge to add one more expense tracker to the App Store. You’re welcome.

I just love bs corporate language, lol. We’ve invested in a sticker on a Red Bull F1 car and now you’ll have to pay more.

Zed is super nice, feels like SublimeText in its prime years.

Tried Deno. Tried Bun. Returned to Node. Big thanks to Deno and Bun that push Node to innovate, but it is still the best way to run js on a server.

There is a massive difference between Bluesky and X. X is like an EDM rave somewhere in Berlin, with lots of drugs in different forms and amounts. Bluesky feels like a jazz club with slow and steady pace.

No idea why SvelteKit is the only meta-framework with such a nice mental model, locals, hooks, data loading flow, everything is perfect, and remote functions make it even better. Remix was super close, not sure if they improved something, but I liked the idea of flat file structure.

1258 days of uptime has one of my vps servers.

This year I’ll switch off my “developer” part of mind way more often and make space for “maker” part of mind.

Just finished building proof of concept of a sync engine for my apps, its been a really smooth ride, thanks to Turso. Although I decided not to use their on-device replicas, the platform is great!

Quite interesting how a UI changes in perception in a better way when switched to dark theme.

The hardest part in building my own products is dealing with my own perception of mvp, the bar is quite high.

Building two react native apps at the same time so that I would not get bored too fast.

Haven’t created a custom react context for several years now and no idea why would people use it. Use zustand, jotai, valtio, don’t make your life harder.

React-Query and MMKV are the best way to handle data fetching/caching in a React Native app.

Those last 5% of tasks to do for a release are always the hardest.

Sometimes I think that I would rather be a woodworker or electrician than a software engineer.

React Native development is still kinda painful. Been making apps since 2018 and globally everything now works way better than it was but there some small nifty bugs here and there that can take hours and hours to resolve or find a way around.

Been using Deno 2 for the last 2 weeks and it is great. Included formatter, linter, tester, typescript parser and compiler are a deal breaker.

The hardest part in building something is to know when to stop perfecting things. When it is good enough to ship?

The thing that I like here is that Bluesky allows you to pick where they should open the link, external browser or built-in. I always hated built-in browsers.

Been working on a tabbar animation in my app, what do you think? #reactnative

Let’s check image quality out here. Here are several photos I made using my Fuji.

YouTube Premium for Family is now 17.99 EUR for Portugal. That's the most expensive and at the same time most strange subscription that I have with a very low provided value. Nice strategy, make YouTube unbearable without it, add useless YouTube Music and voila.

Deadpool and Guardians of The Galaxy are two most successful Marvel cinema franchises, IMHO.

I guess the more Elon will transform X into an unbearable pile of propaganda, bots and misinformation, the more people will come here.
