I just setup Featurebase for getmarkdown.com. It’s so easy, and will help me instantly prioritize what matters most to users. If you’re juggling with what features/fixes need to be worked on, start with Featurebase!

AI crawlers like GPTBot, Perplexity, and Claude are taking over the web. They’re already pulling 20% of Googlebot’s insane 4.5B requests. If your site isn’t optimized with static HTML and you’re still relying on client-side JS rendering you’re leaving traffic on the table

If you use cursor, create a “status” file to track your coding progress. At the end of each session, ask cursor to update it with what’s done. When you come back to it next time, just reference the status file. cursor will instantly know where you left off! #DevTips #AI

Voice-to-text for journaling has been a game changer for me! 📓 I’m journaling more than ever. It removes the friction; I just speak my thoughts! AI helps format and fix minor grammar issues while keeping my core message intact. Give it a try! #Journaling #AI #Productivity

Currently reading Destiny of the Republic, surprised at how President Garfield, post-Lincoln's assassination, thought he didn't need security. Imagine a time when a sitting President could stroll the park or attend church without any security! Crazy!

It's heartbreaking how many smart people have been led to believe leetcode is the only way to interview and find good candidates. I said last week, and I'll say it again today: If you base your interviews on leetcode questions, your interview process is a mediocre faang-wanabe.

Just finished "Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln's Killer" by James Swanson.It's a page-turner packed with incredible details and gripping storytelling. Swanson brilliantly humanizes everyone involved and offers interesting insights. If you're looking for a good read, I highly recommend it!

Perplexity just announced their shopping feature! I spend hours researching when I buy products to make sure they last a very long time. This will save huge amounts of time for people like me who do their research before purchasing something.

Always automate your deployments AND backups. ✅ Deployments: Use CI/CD (like GitHub Actions) to safely push schema changes to production. ✅ Backups: Schedule regular dumps of your DB to avoid surprises. Bonus: Keep them in separate workflows for clarity #DevTips #Supabase #Automation

Sanskrit words are gold for product names: short, deep meaning, globally recognizable. Bonus if they roll off the tongue. Example: Atma (soul)

Backpacking teaches you something code never will: progress isn’t always about speed; it’s about endurance and the view along the way.

Pro tip: If you’re dealing with Ruby-style hashes (e.g., =>) and need to convert them to JSON, replace => with : and wrap date fields in quotes. Proper formatting ensures seamless parsing in JSON tools. #CodingTips
