2. Job market
3. Burn out
4. Money
5. Lack of passion

Hot takes:
- We are in the "CLI era" of AI.
- AI shines best when it doesnโt announce itself to the end user.
Nice ๐คฃ. I just read the HTML one yesterday.
Finally got around to posting a video ๐ฌ
Adding a queue to a web app is such a chore. Is there something simple like this?
1. You POST a task with a webhook + priority
2. When itโs your turn, we POST to your webhook
3. You run the task, then call back when done

How do you know when to use a framework or a library?
If you don't know the answer, try building it yourself first.
By the end of that exercise, you will either:
1. Know exactly why it exists and which pain point it solves.
Or
2. Know why it is not a good idea to use it in your project.

@snook.ca I love this post! As a result I'm also learning about other cool blogs ๐
Nice. Curious why use HTMX and AlpineJS together?
Slowly building out a starter pack with all of the software bloggers ๐
There is 1000% more conversation about vibe coding happening than actual vibe coding.

Makes sense. I haven't done an email newsletter, so I never used either platform very seriously. But it's a bit crazy to learn that there is no syntax highlighting for code.
Looks good. What made you start this project?
Look cool, thanks for sharing.
I didn't see any code or description of the project in the repo. Do you already have it partially built? If so, it would be good to see what you have so far.
Interesting data Alex! Do you mind if I read it in a video format on YouTube?
