I get that. Personally, I'm a bit weird because I don't like to bring all the stuff from the previous machine (documents, files, etc.). I like to start fresh and only install a couple of apps / configure some settings.
After working remotely for 5 years and running into a bunch of problems such as burnout, eye problems, loneliness, and no promotions, I decided to write an article on how to make remote working better. Hope it helps anyone.
"This is super valuable advice I wish I'd known much earlier."
Thanks! That's why I have been talking about technical writing and its power since I started with it in 2019. Many engineers disregard it as "ah, it's just blog posts", but it's more than that. It can have a huge impact on your career.
"Google's former chief Eric Schmidt thinks we shouldn't let AI's ballooning power consumption worry us, because putting AI to work on climate change issues will be our best shot at solving them."
With the current AI electricity consumption, I'm not so sure about that. I hope to be proven wrong, though.
I also wanted to try some local LLMs, but gave up and came to the same conclusion:
"While the idea of having a personal and private instance of a code assistant is interesting (and can also be the only available option in certain environments), the reality is that achieving the same level of performance as GitHub Copilot is quite challenging.".
But considering the pace at which AI and the ecosystem advances, things might change soon.
I use Ghost for a while now and it's fantastic. The fact that it's open-source, self-hostable, super customizable (themes), has free/premium memberships and can be used both as a blog and newsletter is what makes me stick to it.
Nice one, congrats! Is this something like CodeSandbox or more like a LeetCode platform where you solve problems, get feedback and so on?
P.S: I just created an account today on classromio.com, which has a different purpose, but it's weird that I came across 2 different apps with the same name in the same day.
