I’ve been pretty radio silent because I’ve been heads down working for the last year on something epic. I’m so excited to share what we’ve been doing at IgorBox. We’re releasing it on 4/25/26.

Understanding AI Primacy and Recency Bias In my last post about context management, I talked about using requirements markdown files as context for AI coding sessions and briefly mentioned primacy and recency bias. I want to go deeper on this...

I've been working with AI Coding tools for over a year now and I've learned a lot. I'm going to attempt to share what I know with everyone via my blog. Here's my latest one: www.mikeheijmans.com/blog/post/ai...

Deleting the Microsoft Teams app from and iPhone

The greatest feeling.

Such a simpler time.

Why do we still let airlines get away with the “no more binspace” lie?

It’s basically just a punishment for the people that couldn’t pay for upgrades.

OMG Claude code. We are all so cooked.

I don’t have to imagine. This is me. Right now. Scrambling to save my small startup.

So many small electronics ventures in the US that are going to have to close up shop.

Speeding Up Page Loads with Prefetch In the previous post, I explained how I built my "Jekyll Compatible" blog engine in NextJS. At the end of the post, I pointed out some performance concerns related to the server actions and markdown p...

I sped up my blog with this one simple (NextJS) trick..

You are not alone.

Moving from Jekyll to NextJS For over a decade I used Jekyll to power mikeheijmans.com and publish the occasional blog post. It turns out I'm pretty bad at consistently blogging and I always wanted my personal website to be more ...

I converted my old Jekyll based website to NextJS and I wrote a blog post on how I set it up to render all my old blog posts.

It was a bit more involved (and challenging) than expected. But it was fun.

a man in armor says this is the may in front of a plane ALT: a man in armor says this is the may in front of a plane

This is perfect. No notes.

Why is this plausible?

a man with a red face is standing in a space ship and saying it 's a trap . Alt: a alíen from the movie star wars known as admiral akbar is standing in a space ship and saying it 's a trap .

“Don’t click links” is just good advice in general. Especially “shortened” links like tinyurls. Those are the most sus. Trust no one. At least tinyurl has the preview feature if you prepend “preview” to the the url. But most others don’t have that.

Damn, this is pretty amazing 😻

What an interesting and cool idea using ChatGPT for something more than another random “helper”.

yea... but wait until those government contracts start rolling in... :/

I’ve been a huge fan for years and when I watched the video, I told my wife “this is about what I’ve seen him get into on Bluesky” within the first 5 seconds. We both loved it and support it. You are awesome discussing it! It is a real problem and it’s rooted in our connection to technology.

Dilbert - The Knack full - YouTube.flv YouTube video by sgispider

"the Knack" lol. I'm right there with ya :)

get a degree in mechanical engineering... so you can figure out the fastest and most efficient way of taking them apart :)

usually we don't know what a good boss is until we've had a really bad one...

A quote of the day on a trmnl that says “laws are like cobwebs, which may catch small flies, but let wasps and hornets break through”

This is a motivational quote? For whom? The aspiring criminal mastermind?

Really inspires confidence in their abilities as they rummage around in our treasury.

This is good though (the transparency of the cost part). People need to learn that the IMPORTER pays for the tariff. Too many people think its the exporter.

I feel like @proton.me should be slinging deals hard right now. This coupled with the recent AI policy change, I'm sure many people around here would like alternatives. I'm certainly looking for them for my businesses that currently use G-Suite.. err workspace (whatever they're calling it now)

replacing the workforce with machines you say? So what do all the people do at that point?

If climate change and global warming isn’t real and all a hoax, why remove the historical co2 data?

Was the cat doom scrolling? He/she looks traumatized.

Right! I had them in a design once and they were such a pain to deal with.
