👨🏻‍💻 What I did

🌳 I actually read this article I linked in Reads last month already, but this month I’m trying out https://nicknisi.com/posts/git-worktrees/ with a real project. I needed to look into his scripts to figure out how to work with git worktrees, but now I’m using the first few.

💡Learned that there is an <script type="importmap"> (MDN Docs) available and a new CDN called https://esm.sh/ that serves ESM (ECMAScript Modules) for that. This is another hint that reminds me that I need to understand the commonjs / esm / require / import dilemma more.

💬 Working more on the marathi language learning application, it’s getting quite good now. Swapped out the sqlite with https://supabase.com/, used it for the first time and it was a really quick adoption. Also deployed the whole application to Vercel.

❌ Somehow my Cloudflare setup for my website broke and caused it to be not reachable. Probably a user error, but I couldn’t figure it out. So I deactivate Cloudflare for now and go back to the good old Strato Nameserver. What’s odd is, that Cloudflare said I had about 700 visitors per week, which is absurd because I have about ten visitors per month. And eight of these are me.

👨🏻‍💻 I recently found https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit which reignited my interest in learning what git has to offer, I also saw a video of the creator Jesse Duffield where he explained some of the features. I’m impressed how well things work and I’ll definitely continue using it. The https://github.com/svenliebig/dotfiles repository that I forked had a good configuration that I just took over, and I love it so far.

🤖 Github Copilot has released agent mode, basically they implemented what Cursor and Windsurf already were able to, but what catches my attention is the possibility to reference files in reusable prompts. Though, later I found out that Cursor has this feature implemented in their Notepad functionality, you can just reference files in Notespads and add Notepads to your prompts. Anyways, this is moving Github Copilot from being far behind the AI Editor race at least back on track with the other Editors, I’ll test this month how good it got and if it can compete with other IDEs.

🤖 Learned about the https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction, Anthropic

⬆️ Updated my https://plausible.io/ Instance to the newest version (🐳 with Docker), just to have some more informations like if the visitor clicked on a link.

💫 Other Highlights

🤖 https://lmarena.ai/ - Chatbot Arena with Ranking, people see only after they vote what bot it was, kind of an unbiased ranking of AI. There is also something for (web) devs: https://web.lmarena.ai/leaderboard, which currently has Clause Sonnet 3.5 on the top of the list, that matches my personal observation.
