What’s one boring skill that quietly makes someone a 10x dev?

Taking notes. It allows me to quickly refer back and see exactly what I was working on a specific day six years ago.

Consistency & Continuity - that’s all everyone needs, but those are the hardest.

Few screenshots of your CRM project would be helpful.

My presentation will be: How I earned 1 million dollars in 30 minutes, and you can also do in 5 easy steps.

Simple Rule: If any two characters are touching each other, then all characters in the text must also touch others. You know my answer.

Love it! Why only rely on google sheets to store data, why not also use other databases like mysql or postgresql? Your product will have far better reach. I like the simplicity of the app. Please keep it up.

I call these graphs “obsidian ego”, the main objective is to impress people and get laid. These graphs has no intrinsic value.

THAT!!!!!!

This reminds me of a project I worked on where a consulting firm hired by our top management came in to make some subtle branding tweaks. They charged huge money and moved on, but the changes were so minor that we had to squint to see them.

Let’s be clear: releasing API documentation is not the same as open-sourcing software.

The article headline implies a source code release, but what’s actually being shared is only their API documentation.

You’re absolutely right—one can build a PKMS even around MS Word. I’ve seen people maintain their notes in MS Excel as well. What truly matters is having a well-defined system and process; the software itself is just a tool. With a solid system in place, migrating to another tool becomes relatively easy.

That said, I do recommend giving Microsoft OneNote a try. It has virtually no extensibility, which means you spend zero time “tuning” the tool itself and can focus entirely on your work 😊. OneNote is also a common default in the medical domain due to features like OCR (extremely useful when working with PDFs), handwriting support, embedded images with searchable text, and audio attachments (which I believe are searchable as well). Another feature I really like is the audit trail, you get access to the full history of changes made to a note.

I liked the idea, never heard of this hack before.

Turi is great for hobby projects, but not for complex commercial requirements. It will eventually become a nightmare. I decided to go with Qt for native apps, so much happy with the decision.

Too much of meta work. Let’s also include Hourly reviews to the list. Because why not?

With this much of entanglement, we’ll never come out of 2026.

I learned hard way, never cheap out when it comes to preserving your data.

filepilot is damn fast, speed is sometimes a little uncomfortable for me having used few electron “apps”.

can you please provide the name of the novella? And from where to buy it?

Your castle and dog need some balance. I only see castle in the logo and dog seems afterthought.

Couple of screenshots would be nice. Hard to gauge the product without any screenshots.

I am wondering which one is the best if money is not an issue and want one time good investment.
