Are you a developer that converts designs into UIs? If so, do this especially if you haven't before. ๐Ÿ‘‰Take a design and screenshot a feature ๐Ÿ‘‰Feed that screenshot into bolt.new and ask it to generate the feature How close did it get? We all have some serious soul searching to do in '25.

Salesforce, which recently announced plans to hire 2,000 AI agent salespeople, says it may not hire software engineers this year. AI agents are boosting engineer productivity so much they claim no new hires are needed. Is this the industry targeting jobs to replace or just AI hype?

2025 hey? ๐Ÿคฏ Slowly getting back into the swing of things. Slowly getting out of holiday mode. Been tinkering with a few different workflows for my TeaMegaList directory. Trying a new meta prompt for generating images and man, do the images look good.

Conversation that I had tonight. Person: The rules have changed. Me: Ok, what are the new rules? Person: We can't tell you Me: Who can? Person: This other person Me: Cool, when can they tell me about the rule changes? Person: We don't know. We're working on it... ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜•๐Ÿ˜

Gemini 2.0 is out, and there's a ton of interesting stuff about it. From my testing it looks like Gemini 2.0 Flash may be the best currently available multi-modal model - I upgraded my LLM plugin to support that here: github.com/simonw/llm-g... Gemini 2.0 announcement: blog.google/technology/g...

Googles Gemini 2.0 with Grounding just blew my mind. Been collecting the data for a number of directory sites I'm building and its taking time. As a test, I just used Gemini 2.0 to do a search for all the coastal suburbs in NSW, and in seconds, I've got the data. Imagine the possibilities... ๐Ÿคฏ

Uploaded my latest Youtube video. ๐ŸŽฅ In this one, "I Build a Directory Site using "Free Tiers" in v0, Bolt, Loveable and Replit". Aim was to discover which platform gives you the most bang for buck! Growing the channel, so a like, comment and subscribe would be amazing. ๐Ÿ™ youtu.be/Xd2VtN6SCKw

Have you see Web Awesome? Iโ€™ve been giving the alpha a try and really love how great it feels to use. Iโ€™ve been sprinkling som of the components in my Svelte projects and it feels great. 2025 is the year Iโ€™ll consume more web components. Part 2 in next skeet since bsky has short videos.

Talk about disappointment. ๐Ÿ˜” Using Ancestry to track down family members that we lost track of during WWII. I found an "Avid Genealogist" that has contact with my Great Grandmothers sisters family who live in Australia! ๐Ÿคฏ I sent the guy WWII photos, docs, etc. And the guy doesn't want to help. ๐Ÿ˜ก

Anyone here use descript.com for their video recordings before? If so, what are you thoughts? For someone like myself. I find myself using a lot of umm, ahh, filler words. So thinking something like this might be pretty cool.

For those that might not be aware. Madza posts some great content on Twitter. He's started a new #buildinpublic starter pack which is great especially if your looking for follow more people on their journey. Also, if your not doing so. It worth looking back at packs for new folks in the pack.

I used to doubt Ancestry but wow, so happy that I signed up. My families history is pretty complicated due to WWI/WWII. By using Claude to translate old documents, and then using Ancestries data matching. I managed to find my Great Grand Uncles family Went from 0 to 213 people in a few weeks. ๐Ÿคฏ

If you notice an artist you follow promoting their older music or albums at lower prices and sharing it more than usual, itโ€™s a sign theyโ€™re likely facing financial struggles and just need a small boost. The least you can do is share their posts it doesnโ€™t take much and it really helps!

Damn Isidor. Well done on the live performance. Love my Synthwave / Cyberpunk tunes. Now I'm wondering whether there are similar live performances in Australia. Would love to go to one.

A huge shoutout once again to @the80sguy.com , the first person to support me to the fullest! No money asked, just shared my music. This video is from my first live performance, and it was a tremendous success people were ecstatic!

Yep, been there, done that. Burnouts a real thing. It takes ages to recover from as well. For me, it was a draining full time gig, as well as burning the candle at both ends to get a startup up and running.

Looking for more creators to follow? Nicks building a new starter pack that lists a number of genuinely chill creators. โ˜•๏ธ If you know of anyone thatโ€™s missing. Would be good to get them added as well. Super keen to see what other folks are creating.
