Family guy and web developer
I’m always hesitant about using AI tools while coding, but I have found one good use for AI while coding: naming things. I’m terrible at naming things.
This week, though, I’ve been using Copilot to see if I can improve on the names of the objects and methods I have. I’ve had good results so far.
I like the new Journal feature by 37signals included in their Hey product. I’ll explore this for a few weeks as I’m also trying Apple’s Journal app instead of Day One.
Another good day for Ethan on the golf course.
He won the Junior County Champion of Champions this afternoon at Paisley Golf Club.
Closing off the golf season with a couple of trophies, well done big yin!
I used the word “huzzah” without thinking during stand-up this morning. I think I might just go with it and use it more often.
Turn your phone into a dumb phone.
I love this, and I will definitely try some aspects of it. However, I can’t say if I’ll go the whole way and do everything in this video. If you prefer to read, there’s also a web page with instructions.
I replaced the plastic castors on my Ikea office chair with rollerblade-style castors. The difference is like night and day, and the new castors are better for our new wooden flooring in the office. My only gripe is that the office isn’t long enough to see how fast my chair can go!
Procreate’s stand on AI should be applauded.
We’re here for the humans. We’re not chasing a technology that is a moral threat to our greatest jewel: human creativity. In this technological rush, this might make us an exception or seem at risk of being left behind. But we see this road less travelled as the more exciting and fruitful one for our community.
I’m glad to see that companies like Procreate still recognise the danger of AI in their products. AI has it’s uses, but it doesn’t need to be everywhere.
Over the next few weeks, I’m going to break out of my comfort zone and build a new Rails application using the latest Rails 7.2 release, which uses a dev container for the development environment. I’m also going to look at using the Zed text editor instead of VS Code.
Just finished watching The Marvels on Disney+. Thoroughly enjoyed it! A refreshing change from the MCU I thought. 🍿
Drew starting high school today!
