Who is a Craft Engineer?

A "craft engineer" in the context of engineering management and software development is often a professional who not only understands and applies engineering principles but also approaches their work as an artisan would. They use their expertise to create high-quality, carefully constructed software products that are both functional and well-designed.

Published short notes on engineering management: How to Stay Valuable as an Engineering Manager?

This is not exactly from a "startup world" context.
However, it nicely illustrates the trend towards reducing management in any type of business these days:
Everybody Works — REWORK [^12]

Are you a kind leader? or are you just being nice?
I bet most of the time we don't even realise the difference :)

Rewriting the web scrapper from #puppeteer to #playwright was too easy! But it still didn't solve my problem with scrapping the page with an infinite scroll...

A tiny addition to the tool that converts Google Sheets into JSON APIs:
... query param parse=1 which automatically parses JSON data stored in the sheets DB.
This reduces the logic which you need to do in clients (implementing your endpoints) ### 2024-08-28
The untapped potential here!
#cursorai but together with #obsidian it is quite something -> it is zero config setup, just open the folder and "chat with the file" and suggest if improvements, when needed - super helpful for anyone who is publishing content with obsidian!

Have you ever wanted to have your own privacy-focused "RAG" agent (with function calling) running locally with #ai/ollama? here is your chance https://github.com/ollama/ollama-js/blob/main/examples/tools/tools.ts (a very simple implementation in #javascript)

My plan for Saturday was…
...to take the temporary #notion landing page I had for ObsiPulse ( #obsidian/plugin ) and turn it into a custom static #vercel/nextjs page (with SSG).
Thanks to #vercel/v0 and Cursor, the task was completed in less than 3 hours.

How did I do it?

  1. Take a screenshot of the whole page you want to re-create)
  2. upload it as context to #vercel/v0
  3. "Prompt" it until you are satisfied
  4. Add more screenshots if you need to (e.g. add a modal logic on button click) → Took me 9 iterations with #vercel/v0
  5. #cursorai was super handy with finishing details and styling the tailwind #css

Result?

Did you know...?
That you can embed basically anything into #notion site?
As long as your URL returns header Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
Super helpful for prototyping and connecting your API (or any other third-party service, eg. #n8n webhook) with Notion sites:
