Really happy that I’ve discovered Lofi Girl for background music. Their streams really hit my mood on most days, depending on what I need. Jazzy vibes or more electro thingy. Today it’s Synthwave Radio
I went to YouTube with the goal of finding and watching a video for a specific topic/question. Then I saw thumbnails of other videos and clicked. 20 minutes later I returned and completely forgot about what I wanted to watch & learn about in the first place. 🤦♂️ Hello brain. Time to wake up.
Developing React Native apps really is a major PITA.
I use Macs since ~2008. I work as a professional programmer since ~2011. Since then I wasn’t able to use AppleScript (and recently Shortcuts.app) to automate my Mac. I don’t know whether this is due to me being stupid or because AppleScript and Shortcut syntax are really strange.
I hate computers. Maybe I should become a baker.
And now cache.ruby-lang.org is down for me. But only me it seems. I just want to go back to bed. Nothing works. This is frustrating.
I really hate what they did to MacOS. Everything is so confusing now, you have a bazillion system settings entries but nothing is easily found anymore. Right now I am trying to disable some app from auto starting on reboot but I cannot find where to edit those entries anymore. It’s so annoying!
I switched from using Docker Desktop to Colima. Won’t look back. Really happy with Colima’s simplicity. Docker Desktop was buggy for me, never was able to update itself properly and I didn’t like the direction they took.
It took a few days (no idea why!) but now I can use ChatGPT-4’s browsing feature. This changes a lot of things for me and makes my life wayyyy easier. Costs $20/month but as a business expense it’s fine.
Yesterday I tried my hand at something new: Streaming on Twitch.
You see I started developing (again) on a side project. It’s called Catalog for now and I will write more about it once I am ready for it. I want to use it to develop something that I always wanted to have and what could be useful to others. The second reason for the project is that I need to try out all the new features and things that Ruby on Rails brought along with their latest versions. I didn’t really get into Hotwire and Turbo and all those things. So now I can use it in my side project. After all that’s what these are for, right? Right?!
The Twitch stream went ok, I guess. Took my a while to set everything up and learning how the Technik works. At one point I even had one visitor watching me (briefly 😂).
I’ll post here, once I stream again.
