You have to write code in such a way that there is a budget to rewrite it not once, but twice! This means that you won't get it right the first time as requirements change, so don't spend time perfecting what's going to change, and when you find that the code needs a third change, it's your chance to rewrite it from scratch.

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) β†’ Took me 9 iterations with #vercel/v0
  5. #cursorai was super handy with finishing details and styling the tailwind #css

Result?

The BEST results are achieved by combining the models.

Fortunately, #typingmind has an integration of both models, so you can run the tests side by side πŸ‘‡

πŸ“£ There is a simple formula for communicating any change in your organisation:
#communication/tip: Context & motivation + benefits (how the recipients will benefit from it) = change to be made.
Simple but effective in 90% of the time.
In practice, this means:
Give your team/person the context and explain the motivation behind it (eg. why we need to change anything), highlight the benefits to them (eg. how it will simplify their job), and then present the change they need to make to achieve it.
Then you can start a discussion, and answer any remaining ambiguities.
If communicated correctly, this formula will bring you an understanding of the team/person, even for things which would be considered as "hard to change"

Everyone knows that you should NOT compare your engineering teams! 🚦
(in terms of metrics, processes, etc.)
However, in practice this also means that you should be careful how you present your requirements to them.
⛔️ You should NEVER start with something like this: "because it worked for team A, let's try it here as well (in team B)" -> this is not motivating for anyone, and it creates a slow resentment towards other teams, which is very dangerous.
βœ… Always start by presenting the benefits for the team first, and then what it means for them in practice (and finally you can use the argument that it worked for someone else and "why", but usually this part is not needed at all if presented well) #team-management

I used to love @GitNationOrg and its content when I was js developer, but these days, everything that sounds interesting, turns out to be self-promo... eg. https://portal.gitnation.org/contents/feature-flagging-with-react quality of speakers is going down, and I don't think it is ok... also, I am pretty sure, all indie-hackers and solopreneurs have this in their promo checklist: "βœ… go to a public software engineering conference, and show them what you have built but wrap it into a very interesting topic talk"
