TIL it takes 5 minutes to migrate from docker to podman for local dev. Uninstalling Docker Desktop was a truly special moment for both me and my Mac Mini. 🚀

It's so easy to make tactile buttons like this with #tailwindcss. 🕹️
Add -translate-x-1 -translate-y-1 to the button, then wrap it in a div that isn't translated. This adds a 3D effect.
Then add hover:translate-x-1 hover:translate-y-1 transition duration-300 for 3D button push.

This #vscode tip will save you minutes every day. ⏱️
In your keybindings.json:
{
"key": "alt+right",
"command": "cursorWordPartRight",
"when": "textInputFocus"
}
// repeat for alt+left
Now alt + ← and alt + → skips words *inside* camel case & pascal case vars and fn names.

Feels pretty scary, but one of my goals for 2024 is to get out of my comfort zone and create more video content.
I've started on this path with a little video showing how I use @linear to manage my work as a solo developer while I #buildinpublic.

I'm on the under desk walking pad hype train. 🚂
After being sedentary for months, I've walked five hours in the last three days. 🙌

I'm thrilled with the stats from the first month of the goodteams.app newsletter, where I introduce new engineering teams and jobs.
Still a small list, but engagement is fantastic so far!
Next edition going out in just a few hours! ⏳

IMO the best marketing is providing free value to the community you serve.
Putting this into practice for goodteams.app by releasing a free Engineering Job Application Tracker template for Notion. 👨🏾💻

🚨 New team alert 🚨
Psyched to welcome @KanopiCover to GoodTeams.
They're a truly flexible engineering team hiring a remote (within AU) full stack engineer role with a full-time or part 👏 time 👏 option 👏!

Newsletter popups are effective at increasing signups, but I can't bear to do that on goodteams.app. 🙅🏽♀️
So I made the signup box glowy and holographic instead. 🪞🪩😅

Just discovered you can publish games made with HTML, CSS & JS to Steam with Electron. 🎮
Always wanted to try making a game for fun but didn't have the time or energy to properly learn Unity.
Feels so much more approachable now. 😊
I'm learning that in the early days of a startup your addressable userbase is a super small slice of your eventual userbase.
It's challenging to find early adopters (already rare) who *also* have the problem you solve.
Thanks to the generosity of @cipherstash I'll be heading to RubyConf in Melbourne this month. 🎉
Please hit me up if you'll be there - would love to say hello IRL! 👋
