I spent the last few days playing around with @cursor_ai and building a mobile app, which I haven't really done before in my career as a software engineer

The app is nothing special - a simple habit tracker, from @nateliason's course - t.co/Dy0FsZHQaz. But it was so much fun to build and in total took around ~6 hours

A couple of observationsImage

Image I used this as an experiment to play around with Cursor's new rules feature. I borrowed a rule from this article () on writing rules and then had it write a rule for managing tasks I wanted to complete ghuntley.com/stdlib/Image

[This is an example CabinDAO proposal]
👋 Hey @creatorcabins,

My name is Zakk. I'm a teacher, turned software engineer, turned teacher, turned software engineer

And I'd like to apply for the upcoming Creator Residency cohort! First, a bit about me:

I mean it when I say I've flipped back and forth between teaching and software my whole career

Niklas Luhmann developed and used the Slipbox/Zettelkasten method to write 70 books and ~400 scholarly articles over the course of his career

It's a very powerful, simple process for writing that anyone can use to become prolific.

How does it work? Step 1: Create reference notes.

It all starts with taking notes on what you read and turning these into reference notes. Image

Hey @Azure, I absolutely love your services and that is in no small part because the documentation is just so good. Can I make two really quick suggestions that I think would improve the hell out of the already fantastic documentation? First, it would be so, so, so great if you broke out commands into multiple lines. Azure CLI commands tend to get really long and each tutorial or page in the documentation tends to have many of them, so this scrolling gets really annoying: Image

The Neuralink is scary, Black Mirror, science fiction cool. The short- and mid-term aims are clinical and technically really impressive. The long-term aims are nuts. In the launch demo yesterday, Musk said: the future is going to be weird. That's pretty spot on. This thread is just my current understanding of all of this, which is limited. If something here is inaccurate, please point that out (and provide sources!) so I can learn more. Also, don't take anything in here as fact. I'm an interested technologist, not a neuroscientist.

Its Crazy to see how much of a forcing function COVID has been for of companies and industries to modernize

Many companies in Hospitality are having to roll out their digital transformation on a way more aggressive schedule *in order for guests to feel safe again* Things like digital room keys with NFC - you download an app onto your phone which contains your "room key." When you want access to your room, you open the app and hold it up to a sensor by the door handle

Based on the reading I've done so far, this is my understanding of the types of blockchain networks.

A thread! (A chain?) There are 3 types of blockchains:

1. Public,
2. Permissioned, and
3. Private

You can even think of them on a scale from open to closed

I have a little life update to share: today is my last day at General Assembly! I'm really conflicted and sad about leaving @GA_DC @GA , but I'm also really excited about what comes next!

✨A thread ✨ For the last 2.5 years, my job at GA was to change people's lives. Maybe that sounds immodest, but I think it's important to know the profile of our students and to understand the power of our skillset.

It was really exciting to join my second cohort of Write of Passage last night!

For the first session, @david_perell asked us about our 12 Favorite Problems. A new one for me is:

How does futuristic technology get distributed through the economy? There's that great quote that's like: the future is here, it's just not evenly distributed.

Think about new technologies that are really powerful (i.e. Blockchain). How do we go from a few specialized implementations of advanced technology like that to it being ubiquitous?

I'm on track to nearly double the number of books I read this year and it honestly doesn't feel like I'm reading a lot. I think I'll net out between 40 and 45!

Here are some tips and thoughts on reading more: I always have a book handy. I've started reading on my kindle and carrying it around with me. I've also started opening the kindle app on my laptop and having it minimized throughout the day.

If a meeting ends early, I now have an extra 10 minutes to read! Double win! 🎉

✉️I've started a newsletter!

It's about one of my favorite things: books!📚

More specifically, it's about using books to solve problems and answer questions.

Sign up for it here: readthis.substack.com Want to learn how to code?

The first edition of ReadThis gives you three books that will kick start your journey to becoming a programmer. I think programming is a fundamental skill (like reading) and employers will soon expect their employees to know it.

This is so awesome. I’ve been using Roam for all my note taking and I’ve already experienced huge benefits as a manager. First, I’ve started taking all my 1:1 notes in Roam and it’s made these check ins way more productive. It’s very easy to see not just the last 1:1 but notes from all previous check ins. Patterns that would have been difficult to spot are now easily surfaced.

Hey #dctech, coming to #hacktoberfest at @GA_DC today? We can't wait to see you! One small hiccup though, the lobby of our building is closed this weekend!

Fear not, though because we're still open and ready for you!

👇Thread👇 Image You can still get into the building, you just have to do so through the rear entrance. Head through the ally next to the building until you're at the back of the building.

Here's a map with some arrows: Image
