Vibe check: Who is using Bluesky as their main platform instead of X and seeing my posts here?

@birchtree.me really love your Cleanshot update videos, would you be open to do similar videos for Typefully updates?

I wonder if AI tools will increase engineering hires instead of reducing them, at least in the short term! The increased leverage AI tools provide to individual contributors is so significant that they are much more valuable. Many companies might accelerate hiring because of this.

I bet you could come up with a graph like this for basically any European country. Where are all these missing entrepreneurs?

Finally done with my 2024 review! At this rate I thought I would be done with it in 2025! francescodilorenzo.com/2024

In 2025, I want to read more books and scroll less on social media. For this reason, I set up a streak to read at least 20 pages per day and uninstalled social media from my phone. Also experimenting with reparable streaks: if I don't manage to read 20 pages today, I can fix it by reading 40 tmrw.

Reading "Why Nations Fail," which argues that a nation's prosperity is determined by the quality of its economic and political institutions. I wonder if the same will apply to Mars.

Speed matters, but hard to prioritize for an existing product. Thought of making Typefully local first many times, but always got pushback from the team because of the time investment it would require.

It was a good year for reading

What's one improvement you'd like to see in @typefully.com in 2025?

Notion is so much better than folders in Finder for managing taxes. I don't know why I was doing that to myself before. Also, SOPs for managing not having to relearn terrible government UX each time.

I don't want to get too political, but wow, an unrealized capital gains tax seems like the worst idea ever. https://paragraph.xyz/@hagaetc/norway-shrugged

On the one hand, I do think that social media is very bad for young people's mental health. On the other hand, social media was instrumental in my journey to find out what I wanted to do in life and to team up with like-minded people to do it from a very young age.

Happy Thanksgiving to my US friends 🦃 Such a beautiful concept for a national holiday.

My action button runs a shortcut that turns on DnD for 30 mins. If I press it again it turns it off. Why 30m? Usually enough to get a task done without distractions.

It has been a few months since I got back into RSS readers. Paired with using Bsky daily, I am getting some great early 2010s vibes.

The power of chronological timelines.

Cursor indexes large codebases super fast, and it's quite useful when you wonder how an open-source project does something. Just open the project, wait one minute for indexing, and chat with the codebase.

The best thing about small indie teams is that you can lobby them to build the features you want, you just have to make a good enough case for them 🦋

After 10 days heads down coding with @toughyear.bsky.social Bluesky support for @typefully.com is finally here!

Typefully now supports Bluesky 🦋 Yes, this post was written and published from Typefully! Yes, we support videos too. Yes, you can do it too! As a matter of fact, with Typefully, you can now master 5 different platforms: X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon. Let's go! 🔥

The best (and worst, for productivity 😂) thing about handheld devices like the Steam Deck is how easy they make it to play a quick game compared to gaming PCs or traditional consoles.

Got myself a SteamDeck OLED yesterday. Haven't had a console in years, so very excited to try many new games. Currently on my list: - Factorio - Hotline Miami What else should I play? Also, should I get a docking station to play on TV?

The problem with starter packs is that now my timeline is full of strangers 😂

What do you currently use as a task manager, and what are your biggest frustrations or dream features?

Your usual Saturday: database maintenance on Typefully while watching Tyson vs Paul.

Watching Money Electric. The new HBO documentary on Bitcoin.

This was posted from Typefully! We're almost there folks 🔥

Who do I know at BlueSky that can bump this issue? It's currently blocking us from releasing Bsky integratio in @typefully.com. github.com/MarshalX/atp... //cc @jay.bsky.team

Incredible to witness Bitcoin rising to 100k

Starting The Bear season 3

I wonder how many people who get really bad sleep do so because of overconsumption of caffeine. Common advice (Uberman) is that you are okay if you have coffee at least 8 hours before sleep, so like before 2 PM usually, but I have noticed that any coffee apart from the morning one impacts my sleep.

Is GitHub Copilot any good with the recent releases, or is Cursor still the best? I'm wondering if I should give it another try. github.blog/news-insight...

So true
