Would be awesome to have https://read.cv/dexter.pdf trigger a pdf download for a CV @andy

Does anyone actually use a 40% keyboard full time?

I need to hurry up and transfer my data off PlanetScale 😵‍💫😩😮‍💨

Legal proceedings for moving home is so stressful 😅

Happy New Year all. May the odds be ever in your favor

Just finished watching the first four episodes of Clarksons farm season 3. Jeez it had me almost in tears 😰

I’ve just purchased progress.quest — I think I want to make an employee progression platform (e.g. targets to get a promotion 🎯).

Need some inspiration for modern, clean, and minimalist dashboard designs. Any recommendations?

Secured a new opportunity as a Software Engineer Team Lead 👏

Is there a tool that people use to generate many Apple Memojis? I can never seem to find one

So many “design subscription, unlimited design” studios popping up recently. Does the model really work?

I guess it does if people are willing to copy endless.design

I want to see more engineering roles posted on CV’s job board! 🥹

Nice to see how active Posts is seeming lately 🗣️

Starting to take some pressure off the engineering manager and deal with some team lead related meetings myself. 🗓️ 

Looking forward to getting more integrated with my team, the company, and general process as time goes on. 🫂

Curious how@many “designers” use code rather than Figma or similar to put together designs? 🎨 

I’ve never been good at Figma but I can throw together spicy designs using Tailwind and code 👨‍💻

🥲 I hate being ill. Recovering from a throat infection – coughing, ear ache, and sniffles 🤧

Anyone here a team lead? I’m starting my first official team lead role next Wednesday. 

Any tips or tricks I should know to help me integrate easier into an existing team?

Planning on booking in a few 1:1s so I can get to know each team member and what makes them tick, etc

Started implementing my database on Neon in an attempt to hit the 08/04 deadline by PlanetScale. Getting there…

First day as a team lead. Went well. Just got to absorb domain knowledge and start helping out ✌🏻

I’d love to see more interactive prototypes from designers rather than videos or animated gifs. 

It’s pretty much free to have something hosted and publicly accessible these days 🤠

Does anyone actually use Spotify for podcasts over the Apple Podcast app or other podcast platforms?

@andy is it possible to change the app splash logo to the selected one to match the app on the homscreen?

Recently I’ve been using Kitty terminal 🐱 and Helix editor 🧬 

I’ve dropped VS Code and Warp terminal. Feels good to make a change after so very long. 🫡

I now spend 99% of my time purely within the terminal 🫣

The sites builder for CV is looking awesome. A few bits of feedback given to @andy but it’s coming along really well! 👏

Winter has arrived here in the UK 🇬🇧

Figma will be training their AI on your design work too now btw, and it's opt-out.

My Raycast merch arrived: mug, tote, tshirt, stickers.

Love the design of the tshirt and mug 👏🏻

Do people play any strategy/brain trainer games? Such as 2048, Threes, or similar?

With all the recent talk about LinkedIn … they’ve chimed in 😰😅

Next Tuesday I’m hopefully going to have both my tattoo sleeves finished 🫡

Get on that neo-traditional Japanese 🇯🇵 hype train 🐉 🐍

@newlayer @andy something is busted with profile headers

What are people’s thoughts on the Altar I? I’m pretty tempted to pre-order

Got lucky with the weather today. Forecast 13C ended up sunny 18C 👏

I’ve noticed that a few people here and there use Contra. Do people actually get much business through it?

So I’ve finally joined Apple’s Developer Programme for individual apps after not doing mobile work in years. Let’s see how it goes. 

Initially I’m going to have a poke around Expo to see how it has matured since I last used it.

It raises a good question: How do people feel about streaming content to a webpage? 

It provides a quick first paint for core web vitals but obviously the end user seems some sort of “skeleton” UI for sections that take longer to load.

Congrats on the release of Sites @andy and team. It was great fun to tinker with it in early preview. Looking forward to seeing what people create with it.

My fiancée recently (past few months) took up cross stitching and it’s safe to say she’s hooked. 🧵 🪡 

She’s asked me to come up with a platform where she can plan multiple projects – it’ll have to create a schedule and calculate the minimum stitches required per day.

…

@andy one of the biggest complaints I get from recruiters in the UK is they find it hard to download my read.cv profile as PDF. 

Could you surface the profile options popover with the “print profile” button to unauthenticated users? Or am I missing a setting?

🙏

@andy with messages just released how do I have two inbox messages already from a year ago? 👀

@dexter doing gods work today. Thanks for finding and reporting bugs ❤️ Go sign up and be like Dexter!

It’s an interesting thought that one day we’ll run out of “human readable” domains and eventually they’ll turn into rand strings similar to pseudo-domains for Tor. 

Imagine going to z9KCFitt7Z.com and it’s actually a bank 🤔(link randomly picked; not tested)

Picked up a new book. Seems pretty good so far 👏🏻

In preparation for my new job I created a quick task tracker so I can keep on track. You’re welcome to use, I’ll continue to tweak it.

It uses local storage so no authentication or remote storage.

Since I started working as a software engineering team lead, at the start of May, I’ve been working on getting to know my current team members. Today we hire someone new. 

Exciting times. 🆕🆕
