luckydev··on How we moved to Shadcn to standardize UI in LocalOps
We moved to Shadcn UI from our in-house design system. And we're super excited about this move for several reasons.

We've documented our journey here so that it can help other startups/teams that are building their way to PMF.

Ask us anything and our team is happy to answer :) Cheers.

luckydev··on Heroku login down for 7 hours
You can get Heroku/Vercel/Render like experience on your AWS account with rock solid support from AWS.

Checkout https://localops.co if you guys are migrating away from Heroku. (I'm the founder of LocalOps here)

App runtime: Connect your Github repo and AWS account in 1-click and get Heroku like-PaaS automation. Just push to your Github repo and we will deploy your code automatically. Zero cloud config or DevOps effort required.

Databases: Just add the databases you need on a json file and they will get auto-provisioned. AWS managed RDS (Postgres/MySQL), Elastic cache (Redis/Memcache). No need for manual provisioning or maintenance.

Zero downtime deployments.

No ceiling: Scale infinitely on your AWS account

Cost: 60-70% overall cheaper than any traditional PaaS alternatives like Heroku/Render because you are paying for infrastructure provider directly for all servers and paying LocalOps just for automation.

Support: Get rock solid support from AWS for infrastructure uptime.

luckydev··on Stopped using Vim. Moving to cursor
I use Command+L more than Command+K.

Command+L lets you chat and iteratively learn. Command+K generates code which I find moderately useful, at least not as useful as Command+L.

Have you had a chance at trying out cursor, inside an active commercial product codebase? Interested in hearing your review on those..

luckydev··on TextMate 2.0
This is great news. So glad to see next stable version of the Editor which invented or at-least made Snippets and Quick-Open popular.

I've been taking TM 2.0 for spin for the past few weeks. I must say - it is THE editor that gives true Mac editor experience.

No complaints on performance. And it is very stable.

1. Among the existing features, UI refresh for Quick Open window is required as it feels very heavy now in 2.0. TM 1.x Quick open window UI was slick and neat and I wish they kept it as such. Same comment goes for Go to Symbol window (CMD + SHIFT + T).

2. They would win back a lot of users if they provide a slick option to have split editor to make use of very common high-DPI Mac screens.

3. Documentation for Textmate 2.0 is still WIP as I see on their website. Lot of pages are empty with titles alone.

And glad to see Alan's comment in ChangeLog - `Not everything on the wishlist made it into 2.0, but TextMate remains a work in progress, so don’t despair :)`

luckydev··on Programmer to Manager
I guess it all boils down to your long term goals. Think about where you want to be in the next 2-3 years. Does this current switch to manager role makes sense then. Think.

Im doing a bit of management part time coz my team is small. I manage multiple products and i code on one product one week and the other product the next week.. sometimes it depends on the priority levels. We might have a release due in some product where extra hands are required. Then i go do that. So!

Will you love it? If you want to go work for apple or start your company or something, it always helps to have a bit of management in you. So instead of a full switch to management, ask your company if you can work on code 50% of the time.

luckydev··on It is time for Apple to become little more Open
i dont want to move anywhere. things are worse in other spaces.

iphone 5 is awesome. the point i was trying to make was, if they had notified us before the screen change, i could have waited and got the new ones.

I didnt say this when they released iphone 4s or iPhone 3gs where there wasn't a screen size change.

luckydev··on It is time for Apple to become little more Open
nicely said. im a developer. they dont need me.
luckydev··on It is time for Apple to become little more Open
I have no regrets in choosing to do iOS development. And they change brought is much needed.

But they could have made some official announcement some months back. guys like me could have waited and got the new ones.

luckydev··on Helptext.js
thanks for the info. I created this for my project. It worked, so I open sourced this small chunk of code.

In HTML5 way, I need to do it first and then have to write a fallback mechanism. Kinda too long for me :) Instead, I chose what works perfectly now.

luckydev··on Steve Jobs "never had any designs. He has not designed a single project"
Steve jobs need not do it. He provides the vision, his engineers design his vision into a product and he sells it . period.
