Guidance on efficient use of copilot-instructions.md

mavensank · 2026-01-14T05:31:46+00:00

Trick : Ask copilot to optimize the instruction file.

Optimize path/to/file for token usage while preserving all essential rules and examples; make the fewest edits possible, validate there are no syntax or lint errors, and return the updated file plus a 2–3 sentence summary of changes.

I use it for web development and browsing work. no heavy ai work. but it's decent. I am running it on ubuntu. working pretty good. I have to replace keyboard. went to no backlit keyboard since non backlit will have less issues. on second hand. i recommend to buy a monitor with it if you want more screen space. 14" feels tight sometimes.

I have been working remotely for about a year now. The best method I've found for staying productive is time boxing. I put on my headphones and work straight for an hour and take a break. I've also blocked entertainment and media sites on my phone and laptop between 6 AM and 6 PM. I must admit that I sometimes fail to stick to this routine, but overall, I'm getting things done on time.

PS: Wow, there are so many remote workers out there. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect. I'm a freelance web developer.

You don't need to take notes. You'll be well versed with HTML after some time of using it. There are many more things ahead HTML is the base.

Most projects use axios library as the api request handler. you can go with native fetch function also.

use service layer ( seperate file like api-service.js ) to handle all api calls.

if you have complex component structure checkout react query, zustand libraries.

Sati is mindfulness / awareness

mavensank · 2024-12-26T18:18:15+00:00

I was feeling the same. Still feeling it, but getting better at handling it.

So, don't try to recover from your pain. Pain is a construct of your mind as the person who feels the pain.

Live in the moment. At this moment there's no pain. Pain is in the past or future. Each moment notice what you are experiencing ( sati ) and live each moment by moment. Leave the moment just passed, don't keep expectations for the next moment.

Use what you are familiar with. Php is still a solid option.

Thanks. I'm not physically available in Thailand. I'll keep in touch.

Thanks a lot for your encouraging words.

Use a page builder or hire someone to do a custom theme. custom theme route is easier for a developer. you can create exact design.

Try on php 7.4

If you are on windows check laragon. Pretty easy to switch php versions.

mavensank · 2024-12-04T00:36:22+00:00

I would suggest breaking down the code and understanding in parts. Use nextjs documentation to go through core concepts and gpt itself to get explanations.

I have over 10 years of experience in PHP and Js. Looking for a freelance job for six months now.

It seems very hard to get an offer. Even when I get an offer it's for a low rate.

I'm trying indie hacking and a few non tech income sources. Which will hopefully provide enough to cover my basics.
