Is the beef with the design or the pop ups, chatbot, banner, etc? If it's the design, not everyone is a web designer so the bootstrap theme is great to get up off the ground. If it's the other stuff then, yeah, totally.

The main worker is a .Net API with Hangfire that hits a public facing API from the radio station. That data is stored in a MySQL database that feeds a React dashboard front end. There's some caching that happens behind the scenes to he

I did this about ten years ago when I was feeling burned out. I started a t-shirt company in the off hours which eventually grew to be large enough for my wife and I to live off. Running a business is a lot of work so I'm not sure if t

The meetups in Minneapolis are still going strong. There was the COVID pause when most went to Zoom but the majority are back to in person now. A good amount tend to revolve around breweries so their definitely much more social leaning than

It's still crucial for senior level people to review and scrutinize code generated by Jr and AI developers. There's always been the need to verify the code matches the business requirement, right? It used to be when you asked some

Just got our Tin Can a few weeks ago. The hardware is "eh", but the service is pretty great. The ability to approve incoming/outgoing numbers before being able to call/receive calls is very handy to cut out any spam call

We've got a tin can phone and the biggest positive for us is the phone can't make calls or receive calls from numbers that we don't approve first. I know other parents who have the phone line through the cable company that ge

Been working remotely for a long time now and was beginning to feel that loneliness. So, I started going to a co-working space to be around people again. Two/three days a week I'm in the "office" with my new "cowork

I was in the same boat around the 10 year mark as well. I started a t-shirt business on the side. It took a while but after a few years made enough to live off of. Eventually I came back to tech as a contractor/consultant and like it s

My guess is that it might a couple things: 1. There's a map feature where users can assign their location to a photo that was taken. I suppose this could qualify as 'physical address'. 2. Businesses often have their physical

This is a good way to look at it. I recently starting thinking something similar now that chatgpt.com and Perplexity are showing up as referral sources to my blog. So there is some verification (or hope there is) that someone got to my cont

What about hiring junior developers to do the work I don't want to spend time training AI to do? Humans retain context, over time learn the ins and outs of the business and will sit in a meeting with stakeholders to gain understanding

There used to be a Visual Studio for Mac (since retired) but they never could get it right in comparison to the Windows version. VS Code on a Mac works great and with the ability to run SQL Server in Docker you can have the old stack right

Is there really ever enough? Try to stay up to date on anything you don't know, but suspect you probably should know to provide value in whatever it is you're doing. You could treat this to everything under the sun, but I try to a

Actual tech, nothing. Company politics and "being a culture fit", unfortunately in some companies it means a lot.
