A Case For Tailwindcss
I was watching @theprimeagen recently and I think he sold me on using tailwindcss. The thing about tailwind is that it is not a big component library, it’s a set of css classes mapped to a few (usually one) style. All css classes are shitty, so you might as well use someone else’s shitty css classes on all your projects rather than thinking you’re being smart with a new set of classes that you will hate in 6 months when you come back to the project. roughly quoted from memory of @theprimeagen It’s tiny # So unlike big component libraries like tailwind, it comes with a cli that that it uses to create the final css file. It is able to treeshake out all the tailwind classes that you are not using and only ship the ones that you are using. It’s hard to clash # Since the classes are so small and single purpose it’s hard to end up with something like in two places that mean different things causing you to duplicate most of that css anyways so that the whole design doesn’t break when you chan…

It looks like Vis… X (formerly Twitter) · twitter.com Kinda mindblown that this is even possible. This is so far outside of my current thinking that i didn’t even think of an elegant way to implement semantic search accross images and text at the same time. I know it happens at Google, but I envision that as still text search accross tags and meta data about the image. Based on the number of responses CLIP is the thing that does this.

Make the easy things easy
It’s so easy to get out of rhythm, get busy, and drop the ball on some things that you really want to do or should do. This blog is a good example. I took some time off for some family reasons, but have taken a long time to get back to it simply because I am out of rhythm. As I am trying to get back into the rhythm there is some tooling that I have set up for it that I completely forgot about that feel good to use again. Repetitive Tasks # Simple Repetitive Tasks that I have to do often can just feel soul crushing, and one main thing that got me interested in programming. AI tools are becoming more and more useful at solving these problems. For instance code generation tools like co-pilot or codeium are really good at boilerplate and pattern repetition. Things that used to be a few vim macros is now just banging on tab. I often look for setting up templates or some sort of snippet to replace a big chunk of boilerplate that I know I will need over and over. timebox # Don’t be afraid to…

I’d never given this much thought, but there are so many guides that are complete guides for beginner workflows, but once you get beyond beginner there is likely no manual for what you are trying to do in programming. There is no guide that will tell you the best way to get your companies salesforce data, alongside of the ERP data and present it to the users who need to know in a way that compels them to make the right decisions. You are going to have to build this out for yourself by piecing together knowledge about each subject.
